Prom Date?
Our school is organising a prom for our year, and there is a girl who I would
particularly like to take as a date. She recently broke up with her old
boyfriend, but there seems to be someone else who has his eye on her 0 should I
rush in to ask her before he does, or should I wait and see how it plays out,
because the Prom is not for a while.
I don’t want to be turned down, because that would shatter my confidence, but I don’t want to leave it too late and miss an opportunity and have her thinking i’m not interested. Some advice would be great

Aww. It’s nice the fact that u haven’t jus run straight in there. U don’t wanna rush this girl for an answer. Why don’t u try writing her a note n pass it to her in class? Just try n get friendly with her first, so then she knows that u ain’t gunna shit on her. If u show her loyalty, I don’t see why won’t say yes. Good luck bab x x x

Perhaps you can achieve confidence by thinking life is about how i treat others and i only need to be the judge of that and its a nice thing for another person to know someone is interested in them. Wouldnt it make you feel good. If she is horrible, she’s not worth it anyway. I’d get in there as quickly as possible. If it is a prom date, she may say ok to the other guy and feel obligated, and he’ll probably be getting in quick. I’d let on you are a bit more interested than just a prom date. Phone her.

It wont shatter your confidence because its nice to know someone likes you and if shes horrible you wont like her anyway u got to phone now or she may feel obliged to go to the prom sticking to that

hi,
right if you really like this girl u shud ask her out asap, but dont try and rush her into anything. let her make her mind up by herself, if she has her eye on anouther boy make sure u dont ask her infront of him. she is more likly to say no then. but if u ask her soon she will have a bit of time 2 think bout it. hope my advise helps.

Why dont you drop little hints to her saying things like’ oh proms soon cant wait to go who do you wanna go with’ and if she says no one then jump in fast and if she says someone then ask who if its the boy you think then say any chance of you coming with me see what she says then heyyy prestto maybe a date xx

Hey (:
Seeing as this girl has just broken up with her boyfriend, she’ll probably be feeling a bit lonely. I think it would be a really good idea if you asked her to the prom. Don’t worry about the other guy who seems to like her as well. Go for it
Good Luck xo

If i was you i would definatly start out by getting to know her as much as you can. what intersts her and about her likes and dislikes, all the basics. Then as you gradually start to get closer you can start to see if she fells the same whay you do and you will be able to see more clearly if she likes you or not. Then you decide to go for it or not.

i think you should just come out and say it but dont try to be all manly just tell her exactly how you feel and if she says no ask her to stay friends cos the chance is that shes just not ready and will be by prom. good luck x

To be honest, i wouldnt just ask her. Get to know her alittle and then you can see for real if the feeling is mutual.
When i had the prom, i had just recently split with my boyfriend at the time. I fancied the pants off this lad, but i only knew him from my maths class. I was dying to ask him but i didntwent to the prom without a date and so did he and trust me it was much much more fun.
I am still with him to this day
Good luck x x

I strongly disagree with Jade who said ask who she is going with because if she wants to go with you it will be hard for her to answer and if she says some one then that will shatter your confidence when she may still have chosen you

Hey..HI….
Just be a close friend of hers for the first few days..but make sure ur way of going into her lyf as her bf doesn’t turn a way to be her best friend..I mean sometimes poke her..flirt with her..be protective of her..hug her a few times (not 2 much), kiss her on the forehead..do not give her a high-five..she’ll take her as ur buddy..
Later on wen u r sure of the time and commitments for urself and her..and also about the feeling..go ahead tell her abt the feelings u have abt her..
XOXO
all the best..

ask her when you feel the time is right. if you want to make sure you go to prom with this girl, ask her now, and then this could boost your confidence,
Good Luck <3

First ,, Stay around her for a bit , She needs to know you are a good friend to her . Otherwise , she won’t feel she can trust you . And thats very important !
Ask her before he does .
But don’t look to desperate otherwise she can take the mick …
Its worth a try
Good Luck Mate
