This was directed at you, OP. What kind of a caveman are you, that is so out of tune with his most basic instincts???

1) Stalk girl and uncover her daily route
2) Lurk in the shadows of a dark, lonely street/corridor/stairwell
3) Wait for her

4) Refer to Quoted text.

Go up to her and ask.
You: "Hi, are you planning on going to the dance? I would love to take you to dinner and the dance".
Her: "Golly, that would sure be nice"
You: "great! I will make reservations at a restaurant we both enjoy and we will have a great time".
Her: "Sounds nifty!"

Simple. ;)

You stand up straight, and walk up to her and ask her with a not over the top smile if she'd like to go.


Oh and grow up you tool.

:disgust: Not all of us are friends with the fat girls. If they are desperate enough to ask you, there must be a problem.

never thought I'd end up at a high school dance until my senior prom, but then I ended up having a g/f soph-senior year which ruined everything.

at there was a happy ending.

Actually, a lot of schools aren't that way these days. I remember in my High School, if you didn't ask the girl out in some elaborate way, they'd be offended. I've seen skits in the middle of school, mariachi bands, a huge amount of balloons, fences with a thousand cups stuck in them spelling it out, movies made, etc. I'm guessing his school is like that.

Eeugh! But the kids did know that girls fart, go to the bathroom, have unsightly body hair and other things like that, right? That they weren't some holy divine angels that descended directly from heaven?

I have no idea how it started, but that's how it works around here. Of course, for "Winter Ball" where the girl has to ask out the guy, it works the same way too. I had to go on some really elaborate "treasure hunt" with 2 girls I barely knew, to end up in the middle of the school football field being asked out by some girl I actually knew.

Ah, yes. Donnie Darko is one of my favorite movies, so that's where I got the name. :)

I was so pissed about this sh!t last year (I was a senior, but graduating a year early). I asked this one girl out that I had gotten pretty close with (she was a junior, but b/c of early grad, had been in my grade till last year). She said she'd think about it, and eventually said no because her parents "didn't want her to go to senior prom until she was a senior herself". I was going to ask her to junior prom instead, even though its way crappier than senior prom, but someone beat me to it with some stupid scheme like this. He used one of those folded paper things that you put one finger and thumb in and go back and forth with and they open up like three times (usually used to like tell a fortune). Needless to say she said yes, and I didn't go to either dance, because at that point it was to late to get a date.

Call me stupid, but we're prolly gonna go this year.

Just drop it on them. Find a girl you know that is cute and grab her before your friends do. Personally I go for the girls that over achieve to the max and rarely talk to guys. The advantages of high level math classes.

I am late to post... but this thread is totally ghey. (just in case nobody has called it, yet.)

I didn't read a bit after I realized what the OP was all about.

@OP:
Those suggestions are a little...overkill. Just ask her when you two are one-on-one, preferably right before the two of you have to go somewhere (right before she gets in her car to go home, assuming you're gentlemanly enough to walk her to her car; right before each of you has to go to class, etc.) to avoid the awkwardness afterwards. Easy line is "Assuming you don't have any plans for Homecoming/Prom/Dance, I'd love to take you." or something similar. The key thing is to be genuine and don't try to be something you're not.
