My prom in one year (junior)

Re: My prom in one year (junior)

It still works. I did it 5 years ago and it was a yes. Prom-posals are ridiculous and stupid, just believe in yourself, ask the girl with some confidence, and it will work (sans a couple drama queens who demand this kind of stupidity, but did you really want to go with someone like that anyways?)

Wait, really?

It's not so much as they "demand it" as it is that it wouldn't kill you for coming up with a creative way to ask. You won't risk losing your "man card" if you asked her in a special way. They might say yes if you just ask them, but in the end what girl wouldn't want to be asked in nice way she won't forget in three years?

Besides, when prom night comes around, he's gonna want to cash in all those brownie points.

The thing I've hated about rejections in my life (not just girls, but anything) is nobody really has the nerve to simply say "No," either. They put you down without making you feel bad by making something else up along the way. "Oh, I have somewhere else to be that night" or whatever the hell their excuse is.

If you ever get rejected like this and you catch them lying, rub it in their faces and treat them like dirt. They deserve to feel bad about not making you feel bad by being honest.

I don't really know where this leads to good advice about asking a girl to prom, though...

I've actually had this happen to me before. I asked this girl to go to the movies with me and she said yes. We exchanged numbers and we agreed to set up a date by Saturday.

Fast forward to Saturday, I've called and texted her numerous times to set this up but she doesn't respond. Since we go to different HS's I only see her at church on Sunday, so I assumed her phone may be broken if she's not responding.

Then Sunday comes around and I see her. I tried to be cool about it, but for some reason she kept ignoring me. Eventually I got to ask her what she was doing on Saturday. Her response: "I was at cheerleading practice." (She is a varsity cheerleader). Then, later on from a distance I catch her talking to another guy. I walk over to investigate, phone in perfect condition.

Eventually he and her were able to actually have a conversation alone, and she tells me that I'm "too young" for her (she's a junior, I'm a sophomore). She also said she had a conversation with my mom and that she agrees I'm "too young" (I asked my mom, she says they never had this conversation).

Then, the next time we see each other at church (the Halloween party), she flipps me off openly and gets away with it. We still haven't talked since then and its been about 8 months. Although she made me feel great for a week, I now just wish she would've said no in the first place because we were pretty good friends before this. End of rant lol.

Well that was where you went wrong.

KISS method for sure...keep it simple stupid... just ask and don't make a big deal out of it. she says yes? cool she says no? still cool. just ask somebody else...

The prom is fun, but it's importance is way way overrated.

Re: My prom in one year (junior)

Like others have said, just straight up ask. If she says no, say "me neither."

Had that one happen to me a while ago. I asked a girl out, gave her a day and she said she'd "look at her schedule." Fast forward a couple of days, I ask if she had seen if that day would work, and she looks at me and goes "What day was that again?" so I tell her, and she goes "Yeah, I think I'm busy that day." Needless to say, I was pissed. Seriously, who the hell does that kind of thing? (Spoiler alert: The answer is women.)

And, clemson, when we say "Ask multiple people," I don't think we mean just asking anyone and everyone you see. I think we mean something more like this: find a girl you want to go with, ask her and then if she says no, try to find someone else. Nothing too difficult.

Or "Thank God that bet didnt cost me"

Re: My prom in one year (junior)

Well, Clemsonpanther, if you're not looking to get it in, there's no pressure in asking anybody, right?

Just straight-up ask if they want to go with you.

If you want to get creative, get her a cake or something that has "Prom?" on it. Or 5 balloons with each letter and a question mark at the end of it.

Now I'm just stealing ideas from my facebook timeline a few weeks ago. But you get the point.

Yes, why wouldnt you be able to? And who cares if word gets around? It's not like you are proposing marriage to all these girls, you are just trying to find one of them that would want to go to prom with you. I know you are young, but you are making this much more than what it really is.

Re: My prom in one year (junior)

Chicks dig confidence. If you are confident in yourself, then no matter what you do, it'll be ok.

And if she says no, she says no. Move onto the next one.

Although, I must admit, high school does have a way of making you think that if you say no it's the end of the world.

Spoiler

It's not the end of the world. Hell, 5 years from now you'd probably look back and laugh at how immature some people can be from high school.

Re: My prom in one year (junior)

Hell, if she says no, 5 years from now you won't even remember her.
