Say this: "Hey, would you like to go to prom with me?"
She will most likely reply with something like this: " Yeah, that would be great" and she will smile at you.

Just ask her. You don't need to make it special, it already is special. A guy (YOU) is asking her to the Prom. It is beautiful in its simplicity. She does not want a special proposal. All she wants is to be asked to the Prom. Remember that she is probably nervous about it too, so just make it easy for her to say yes. Just stand up and hold her hand, look her in the eyes, smile and say, ?Will you go to the Prom with me?? Really when it all comes down to it, there is nothing more romantic then that.

And what ever you do, don't include her mom in it. Most teenage girls are not too keen on having their mom involved in their love life.

Howabout you just ask her?

You aren't asking her to marry you.

If she rejects you, you'll just look like a bigger tard.

what I did for last year (took me forever to come up with too), I think I posted it back then, or maybe it was in a chat room. Anyway:

1) get a box of chocolates (preferably a heart)
2) on the outside write something like "The only girl I'd go to prom with"
3) then she opens it
4) on the backside of the top, you have a mirror of some type (lol, I think my was from a crest whitestrips box)
5) then another note with like "[name] will you go to prom with me" and then signed your name.

As cheesy as it is, it's rather cute and apparently works.

2. Have her mom say that she's havin computer problems. Go, pretend to fix them, and have her mom ask me if I speak any French. I then ask her in French.

The way you describe this, it sounds like you want to ask her mom to the prom...

Hell no, but I would need her mom to be in on the plan....









On another topic, do you ask the parents before you ask the girl to prom?

No. Prom is less of a date than an actual date. It's like a forced date.

lol, good one; you know, once your ask her, it doesn't hurt to ask her on a real date--or at least to go out. And if you click, then it kinda turns into one.

Just suck it up and ask her if she'll go with you?

Also, we need pics to continue further, you should know better.

oh geeze, to be young again. ;)
in my day, the guy asked the girl on their meeting in the hall between lunch and gym.

I think your idea to do with coffee is cute... this is how you could do it... alot of places have glaze your own pottery. You choose what type of piece to glaze. they have platters, plates AND coffee mugs. write 'would you go to prom with me" on the bottom of the mug and then finish glazing it. ask her to come over or give it to her mom ahead of time and then go visit her.
as her mom to offer you coffee and have her use that mug for her. When she gets done drinking the coffee... there will be the message.
It is a lot easier than it seems, if you pull it off, you will known as the romantic of your school!
