How should I ask a girl to prom?

I am in no way socially inept, but prom in my town is a big deal. Anyway, I'm going on a date with the girl on friday, and I need a couple of good ideas to ask her to prom. Must be inexpensive though, like, 20 bucks or less. Suggest away!:)

I asked my gf at the time to prom in sign language... it was cool, 'cuz she was fluent in sign language and I didn't know a lick of it, but I learned what I needed to know to ask her. :D

Anything along those lines that's possible?

The best advice I can give you is not to follow any advice given to you from an internet message board filled with people who are not very good at dealing with "the three dimensional people out there in that world with the big bright yellow sphere in the air". :p If you're already going on the date with her, just ask her. It doesn't sound special, but you'd be amazed at how often just plain ol' asking works.

Zemmervolt - if you'd like to gauge my effectiveness in dealing with people "in real life", come talk to me in real life.

Regardless of how shy people may be in real life, the majority of us aren't that socially inept. I do say, though, feel free to speak for yourself. :D

Just plain old asking is usually the best way to ask, although if you can do it in a romantic way, you'll both be the better for it.

"Would you like to go to prom with me?"

or

"Would you go to prom with me?"

This isn't rocket science.

Since she is going out with you on Friday, she obviously isn't against the idea of being with you. Wait until you two make some sort of connection on the date and then just ask. It's april and she is starting to stress about not getting asked.

It's really tuff on us girls to have to wait until you guys finally ask.

Sarah <== went to 2 proms. 1 memory of lifetime, 1 waste of time.

I should have been more clear on the fact that since I was here to post the message, I was included in that group. And the ":p" was because I didn't mean it seriously. You're right that finding a romatic way can be better, but I still think that simple straigh-up asking is all-around the best way because it's really hard to screw up. That's an important consideration for people like me. :D I wanted to point out that plain ol' asking does work most of the time and he shouldn't be too terribly worried about finding the "right" way to ask.

One last thing, it's "ZeNmervolt". :p (I don't really care, no-one else spells it right anyway.)

Junior year I announced it over the intercom...I knew she wouldn't deny me cause I was her boyfriend heh
Senior year I had like 15 friends walk in w/ balloons behind me while I sang you've lost htat lovin feelin in the middle of one of her classes...
Other things I've heard of that are good are fillin a tub of roses and leaving a trail of hershey's kisses to the tub w/ a note
People also write all over each other's driveways or somethin to that effect....
The most creative thing I've ever heard is I have a friend who looks like rufio from hook...he did his hair all up and had all of us be the lost boys...and we ran in to her choir room yellin rufio...rufio...ruuuffffiiiooo....and he came in w/ a rose and skateboarded around the room for awhile w/ a sword and then went up to her and asked...she melted
Last thing I remember was one dude didn't wanna go to prom w/ his girlfriend cause he was in college...well he once wrote her 101 reasons why shes the best...she wrote 101 ways why he should go to prom w/ her...I thought some of the list was pretty funny
