If it doesn't work, post her AIM name, email, + phone number. We can all send her messages to try to convince her for you. (Kidding)
 
uhh why don't you just ask her, straight up?

It's going to be much more devastatingly humiliating if she rejects you after all that effort. Plus, if she says yes, it won't be because of the flowers.

So you did it and she said she "has to think about it'?

I don't know how a girl can go from "really excited" to "thinking about it".
Yeah, sounds like if she does say yes, he'll be the consolation prize in her quest for a prom date.

Well, went with a friend and delivered all but one to her classes early in the morning... left them with the teachers. She seemed so happy and was excited all day from what I hear from her classmates in other periods. She had no idea who it was... then when fifth rolled around, I told her she was missing one, she smiled and told me she had no idea who it was. She was happy, but told me she had to think about it. So, I do have my doubts, but it didn't look like a bad thing. Glad to at least make her day if all doesn't go well in the end.

you're a good guy man. better than most. here's hoping it works out well for you...


(if it doesn't, its honestly her loss)
 
The fact that she "has to think about it" worries me quite a bit. I give you props, however, for the wonderful effort you made. :cookie:
 
Yeah a little over the top... I took a skinny chick my first year of prom and she turned out being a total bitch (I was singing to a song but the speakers were so damn loud I'm sure she couldn't of heard me...) so yeah, she took and slapped me while covering my mouth.. I didn't talk to her or dance with her the rest of the night (just had a good time)...

Last year I went with a shorter chunkier girl (she's cool though) and we took like a kickass Ford Mach1 or something like that... damn what a sweet ass car... that was worth it and prom went great.

I don't know what she'll say to you, but you probably went over the top, I mean it's cool you have balls, but still, not a good idea due to the chances of being rejected...
 
man you folks crying overkill must not be remembering the people who wrote "will you go to prom with me" on their chests and standing up on the table at lunchtime, and crap.

but regardless, this definitely sounds like one of life's modern dilemmas.

What?!? Totally disagree. Life is about risks and that's what makes it worth living. Moments like those will last a lifetime, especially if she accepts.
 
Well, OP got a reality check. Life isn't like the movies. Don't get your hopes up with "I'll think about it" either. Not to rub salt in your wounds, but didn't you say that she went with a complete loser to another dance? Even if she eventually says yes, how does she see you?

Thanks for posting tasteless crap. The world needs more of that.
 
you got PWNED. it was a bad idea in the first place.

p.s. "I'll think about it" means that you're in a holding pattern until the guy she really wants to go with asks/doesn't ask her.
 
Well you got the balls to do that, so you at least deserve to go with her. If she eventually says no, go with one of her friends because you will at least get to dance with her at some point.
