Asking her to prom without making it seem that I want to go out with her.

Now don't get me wrong. I really do want to go out with her, but I need something to lead up to it first. So I think taking her to prom would be great. Our prom isn't until april-ish so I'm probably not gonna ask her for a few more weeks.

The thing is I want to ask her in a "cool" way. Not something blown out of proportion. I had a stupid idea earlier, she asks me for gum occasionally. So I was going to write "Prom?" on the inside of a wrapper so when she asked me she'd see it. The idea seems weird now but like I said I want to do something "cute" or whatever. Again though, I don't want her to think that I'm asking her out at the same time.

Any ideas?

I think you couldnt really do it in a "cool" way without really asking her out. But thats just me. Good luck ;)

Thanks for the advice. I'm not really sure what to do. I've had some past conflicts with the same person. Long story.

A "cool" way, huh? How about this.

Walk up to her, okay? Got this so far?
Say to her, "Hey!" Okay, easy, right?
Then go, "So prom is in April, we should go together, I bet we'd own those bitches on the dance floor."

And then it's done.
The coolest way to ask someone out is to do it normally. :)
