Need advice on my idea to ask this girl to prom.

[jhv222]

There is a shy girl in my school that I am interested in taking to the prom. I've known her for awhile and have been friends with he since freshman year. We have never hung out together outside of school since we tend to hang out with different people (i am a lot more outgoing).

I wanted to ask her to prom in saying more than just "Want to go to prom?"

She told me about this one candy that she had one time in Germany (a chocolate bar) that she absolutely loved. The candy is only sold in Germany but I was able to order a box through the internet.

I was planning to open the chocolate bar, put in a piece of paper that says "Prom?" on it, and glue it closed again so it looks like the normal piece of chocolate.

I only am able to see her once during the day (I walk with her to one of her classes) and thats when I plan to give it to her.

I would like her to open while we are in the hallway but I am a bit concerned she won't (since she usually has a hand full of books). I want her to open it in the hallway while we are walking to that I can be there when she opens it and can tell me the answer right there (Rather than her going to her next class and opening it when shes by herself in there)

Any advice or feedback on how I can improve my idea would be great. Or just what you think about it would be nice as well. I plan on asking her within the next two weeks.

Thanks

There are some chocolates you can order that come with letters written on them, you could buy one that said "Will you go to prom with me?" or something like that, if you want to stick with the chocolate. But it's really up to you, I think your idea is good too. :)
And by the way, if you ask her to open the box in front of you I think she'll do it, so you shouldn't worry about it.

If she's really that shy, she's not going to want to make a big deal out of something like that.

I'd just ask her with just you two being around. Maybe after school? With lots of other people around it's easy to get overwhelmed.

thanks for the advice, just have a quick question.

Do you think i should ask her this week? Our prom isnt until middle of May.

I dont want to ask too early, but I also dont want to ask too late and it end up with her already having a date.

Thanks

I would wait until they are just getting ready to start selling tickets, but before they do. I suggest that you ask to meet her right after school and then give it to her, but you really should maybe start hanging out a little more after school, so you will maybe have more fun and be more of a couple.
