| lol I'd absolutely love the cardioid, and if someone asked me in Latin in any way I'd definitely go!!!
But I'm insane like that. You're much better off just easing it into the conversation. (Unless you know she's as crazy about something as I am about Latin...) |

| What's the big deal over asking someone to prom?
It's your senior year, school's just about over, everyone's going to college, and you've been together as a class for 4 years.
This isn't middle school prom, and it's not like people should use this end-of-the-year dance to start a relationship or anything... I don't get it | |

| You don't have to be fancy, but it could make it more fun.
Write your question down (don't forget to add your name) and slip it into a balloon. Inflate the balloon (with the paper inside), write "Pop me" or something creative on the surface, and tie it to a teddy bear's arm. Place a bouquet of flowers on the other arm. | |

| That's so sketchy!
If I were a girl and somebody did that, I think I'd be too creeped out to even consider going with that person. Is prom such a big deal in other parts of the country that you have to do some stunt to get a date? | |

I would recommend buying a gross (144) of roses and then laying them out on her front lawn in a pattern that says "I humbly request your presence by my side at prom" in Latin.

| Just ask. If she turns you down after an elaborate request, you'll feel really stupid. | |

| nope, no frills needed. A simple, "would you like to go to prom with me?" works for nearly everyone.
But one of my classmates asked his girlfriend out by getting his guy friends to wear white t-shirts, each saying one word of the phrase "will you go to prom with me?" And they all lined up. It was pretty good | |

| That hangman idea was perfect - if I were you I'd do that. It's cute but not barf-tastically mushy or embarassing. | |

| wellll .. it's not like you're asking her to be your girlfriend or whatever, if you were .. the whole treasure hunt idea would've been super cool, the math formula is cool too .. how cutee!
but if you're only asking her as a friend i like whatismouse's hangman idea. | |

| i think something too huge and public is kind of off-putting
but the hangman idea is really cute
taboo during study hall has become this huge thing at my school and a friend of mine was going to ask another friend of mine to prom, haha, and they always play taboo together during study hall. So he was going to ask her via a taboo card. but there were other circumstances that wouldve made this awkward, so he didn't. would've been really cute though!
I think it's nice to do something that has to do with what the person likes or related to some sort of inside joke you guys have | |
