well it kinda sucks for the girl since she has to find a dress and everything but if she wants to go and just didn't go because she couldn't find a date...BETTER LATE THAN NEVER!! go ask her right now :p

the day before should be cool enough. Any girl who hasn't been asked by then would be more than happy to go. Anytime would be good enough. Just make sure you ask her before you make all the reservations.....or just go with some friends.

The instant she's accepted someone else's invitation.

Now get your ass in gear.

Some stupid girl asked me to go w/ her the night b4 prom. Would not leave me alone about it. In your case, I dont think you really have a timelimit. There are alot of Jack in the Box open 24/7, of if you are a high roller, you can even goto Denny's. Borrow your dad's tux, use a taxi. Things come out cheap. Good luck, have fun.

Better yet, don't ever ask. The guy spends a wad of cash and doesn't get a thing. If you're in the top 5% then you may get a one-time screw out of it. Go buy a Radeon instead.

Hmmmmm... 4 days before? That's what I did. Wasn't going to go at all, until my friends (and mom) convinced me that I should go, at least for the social experience of going to a formal event. I went, had a blast, was out till 5am, had a soccer game at 8.

<< When is it too late to ask a girl out for Prom? >>


2 months down the road when you discover she's pregnant :Q;)

jk, I would say..........a couple weeks like 1-2 just to prepare for the most boring-est day. I thought my Prom sucked balls. It was poorly organized and the music (OF COURSE :|) sucked. The only cool thing about the whole damn event was that they had a little casino, and I was playing blackjack allllllll night. My date (currently was my gf) got mad and left me alone. But, i would say a 1-2 week in advance. to be honest i'll probably be able to ask a girl the day before.

I'd say you need about a week. That's about how much time I had to prepare once I secured a date :)

it's never too late :) 2 weeks is plenty of time to take care of all the things you need ( dinner, etc ). Just ask her now and get it over with

Depends on the girl...some girls need a month to find a dress, some need a day.

Prom lick nuts, unless it's a nookie run and you know you are going to get some, don't bother going.

(The other reason to go is if it's your girlfriend, then it's worth going with her, but if she was your GF you wouldn't have to ask, so I'm assuming that's not the case)

Find some girl you like, and ask her out on a normal date, go do something that the two of you enjoy. It will be a night much better spent. Not that I can I minded seeing the girl I like head to toe in a tight black velvet dress, but I think I'd rather have asked her to go to a movie or go fly a kite or something (she loves flying kites, she never got to do it when she was little).

As for dinner reservations and stuff, well it depends on your city and where you want to go. I rented my tux about 2 months in advance, and we made our dinner reservations about a month in advance, but there were 12 of us in a group, it wasn't just me and her, and it was one of the nicest restaurants in the city (small town, no really big fancy $500/meal restaurants there).

when she is getting out of the limo with another guy. I wouldnt jump right into asking her just yet, you may change your mind later.. hint around at it, and let her think in her mind you are going to ask her, that way she stays available to you, but dont promise anything, and if no one else better comes along, you have her there. If someone does come along, you never made the commitment to her, so you're off the hook.

Just to be safe, give it 2 weeks before the prom so it'll give her time to respond, and then for you to get the reservations afterwards . . .

I've been a bit shy and trying to get up enough courage to ask my wife to prom. Sure it's about 25 years too late, but hey, most guys get lucky on prom night! On second thought - I'll wait until I really need it.
