SasukeUchiha Posted October 18, 2015 Share Posted October 18, 2015 So, I'm not exactly the most popular person in my school, but it's my last year and I really want to get a date for prom. There are three girls I've been thinking about asking, but honestly I'm not sure they'd say yes. I don't really talk to them like... ever. I only know them because one of them did the play with me last year and the other did the play with me and was in one of my classes last year, and the third one has been in a few of my classes over the years. We've talked at those times, but we never really talk anymore. They're all nice to me and are cool girls, but I just don't see my chances of getting a yes to be very high. I really don't have any way of talking to them other than finding them in the hall and just asking them to prom. But I'm just worried they'll say no? Will the direct approach work even if I rarely talk to them? I mean, we know each other, we just don't talk on a regular basis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mhowe Posted October 18, 2015 Share Posted October 18, 2015 Most people know their prom dates. I think asking them when you are barely acquaintances will result in a "no thanks" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
melancholy123 Posted October 18, 2015 Share Posted October 18, 2015 Is there a girl you know better than these 3? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Movingforward3 Posted October 18, 2015 Share Posted October 18, 2015 Are there girls you know better that you could ask? You have time to build relationships with the other 3 before the prom, which may result in a yes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SasukeUchiha Posted October 18, 2015 Author Share Posted October 18, 2015 I know multiple other girls better than these three but I don't really want to ask any of them to prom Not that they're not cool, I just don't think of them in that way Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SasukeUchiha Posted October 18, 2015 Author Share Posted October 18, 2015 Plus, I really have no other way I can talk to them other than stopping them one day in the hall and asking them to prom. I mean, we get along well when we do talk, but we hardly ever do. They all think I'm a nice guy, I'm pretty sure, so I have at least SOME chance, right?

j.man Posted October 19, 2015 Share Posted October 19, 2015 Stop them when you catch all three of them together in the hall and say this: "Look, I know all three of you want me to take you to prom, but I can only take one. You sort it out." Once they do, you'll undoubtedly get a call from one of 'em. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
appies Posted October 19, 2015 Share Posted October 19, 2015 your date to prom doesn't have to be someone you have feelings for. Sure its nice to have a pretty date for the pictures. But you will have way more fun with someone who is your actual friend, and it would be WAY less stressful. If there is one thing I don't miss about highschool was the stress of trying to impress people who weren't my friends. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SasukeUchiha Posted October 19, 2015 Author Share Posted October 19, 2015 I already know them somewhat, it's not like I've never spoken to them before. And no, I don't have feelings for them, but they are attractive girls with fun personalities who I would have a fun time with, no stress involved, so long as I get a yes from one of them. (also j.man that's funny but no I'm not doing that lol) Do you think I should go for it? Should I ask one of them to prom? And then if they say no I'll ask the second one, and then the third?

I think you should just ask a girl that you know better. Even if you have zero romantic feelings for them. It's about the experience, hanging out with friends & winning prizes at the after prom party anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just ask a friend that will probably say yes. Your chances of getting a yes from anyone will continue to drop after they have heard you have asked & been turned down by multiple girls. No one likes being third string. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know it would definitely work on me - I like the wit and the humour, lol. The timid, scared and angst approach usually has the opposite effect. OP, light-hearted, fun and BIG smile.

SasukeUchiha Posted October 19, 2015 Author Share Posted October 19, 2015 How do I approach it? I'm not really that great at talking to girls, and honestly, there aren't really any girls I have romantic feelings for... But I still wanna get a date. The problem is, all of the girls that are in my classes, none of them are really my type. They're cool, they're not unpleasant to be around, I'm not saying that, I just mean I'd never consider dating them. But should I try asking one of them to prom anyway? Like I said, they're not unpleasant, they're all pretty cool, and I'm sure I'd probably have fun with them, but I don't really know whether I should. And how would I do it anyway? Do I have to make it big? Does it have to be special in any way? How do I approach it with confidence? How do I phrase the question? Should I ask someone else if the first one says no?

melancholy123 Posted October 19, 2015 Share Posted October 19, 2015 Ask the girl you like the most to go to prom with you. Ask her when she's not surrounded with her friends, make it special for her by asking her privately. Just say - I'd like to go to prom, would you like to go with me? Dont get overly complicated about it. If she says no, ask the next girl that you like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SasukeUchiha Posted October 19, 2015 Author Share Posted October 19, 2015 The thing is, I really don't know who to ask. All of the girls I have been thinking about asking aren't really my type, and I don't really like one of them "the most", so how do I choose?

Theniceone Posted October 19, 2015 Share Posted October 19, 2015 If all you want is a date for prom you do not need your date to be ''your type''. You can invite a girl to prom as a friend. Also...you can go to prom by yourself. I did, and had much more fun that way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
