Asking a girl to Prom

[HenryGood]

Hello everyone. My name is Henry and I really need help with asking a girl to Prom. You see, i've been to dances before but it's mainly been just a big group of friends going altogether. Now that i'm a junior, and i'll be going to Prom soon, I want to make this night special by actually taking someone with me.

There is a girl i enjoy hanging out with alot, and she is a really good friend of mine. I've liked her for about 6 months now, but haven't told her. I've been waiting to tell her how I feel about her but i'm nervous that she will make it feel weird when we are near each other.

A friend of mine likes the same girl and asked me the other night if he would make a good couple with her and that he was going to ask her to the dance. I don't want to disappoint him, so I sorta said that they would make a good couple but she doesn't have feelings for him like he has for her. If I was to ask her first and she told me yes, I wouldn't want my friend getting mad at me. I just really need help out of this situation because I really want to go to the dance with her.

If you could just help me please, I would like to ask her possible tonight maybe over AIM or the phone. Please reply back! :)

Any tips on how I should ask too would be great!

First, before you do anything, tell your friend about your feelings. Hiding them like that and then going behind his back and asking her could really hurt him and would be a fantastic way to end your friendship.

ughhh. i think he already knows that i like her. cuz the way i act around her and how she is my number one on myspace. lol so yeah. i think i'm just gonna ask her. i mean i'm sure he has more people out there to ask.

:roll: Ok then. I still maintain that you need to be upfront with him. You know what happens when you assume, right? Yeah. Friendships are by far more important than prom dates. The prom is one night. Friendships usually are substantially longer than that and thus should be your first priority.

okay thank you. and after i tell him that. do you think this sounds good when i ask her:

"__HERNAME__, i dont know if anyone has asked you to prom yet, but I was wondering if you could like to go with me? I think we will have a really good time together."


or should i add stuff?

*shrug* sounds fine to me. People make such a big deal out of it, when really it's a simple process. You don't have to put on some elaborate show to get a girl to want to go out with you, just ask lol
