Creative Ways To Ask Someone To Prom

Prom season is almost upon us and it’s just the right time to begin thinking about who you’d like to take as your date. If you already have someone special in mind, but are unsure of how to ask them, then try some of the following ideas.

Send It In A Letter

Writing a letter is a good way to communicate your interest, especially if you are shy. Let your personality come through in the letter. For example, if you are funny, then utilize your sense of humor. If you are wildly romantic, then let that come through.

Allowing your personality to shine will help you feel good because you’ll know that you are not putting on an act, or trying to be something you’re not. And the lucky recipient will feel good because they’ll know it’s an authentic note from you and not some practical joke. If you have the person’s email address, then you can just send your question via email.


Burn A CD

The prom is fun

If you really like this person, but never get a chance to be alone with them long enough to ask them to the prom, then think about burning a cd. The great part about burning a cd is that you get to choose whatever songs you’d like the person to hear, and again, it allows your personality to come through.

Music is one of the best communicators. Pull him or her to the side, and let them listen to a few songs. Afterwards, you’ll both be feeling calm, relaxed, and if you’re lucky, a sense of connection. This is an ideal time to ask your question.

Say It With Flowers

Have flowers delivered to his or her’s house with a card that reads something to the affect of “would you like to accompany me to the prom?”. Mind you, it doesn’t have to be those exact words; something similar will do the trick.

If a bouquet of flowers is not your style, then just send one flower. If not flowers, then send some other gift, like chocolate, or a paid subscription to their favorite magazine. Send a note along with your gift asking if they’d like to attend the prom with you.

Be Bold

If you have a big personality and are not shy in the least, consider asking the person you like in front of class. Here’s how to do it. First, choose a class that has a friendly teacher, and ask him or her if they wouldn’t mind giving you five minutes of their class time. Teachers have a pretty strict schedule, so they might allow you to speak while they are taking attendance, or during the last few minutes of class.

Be flexible and work with your teacher. Most teachers are pretty good-natured and won’t mind playing along. Plan what you are going to say and wear in advance, and then get up and do your thing.

Already Dating?

If the two of you are already dating, it makes the asking substantially easier. Since you have an established relationship with his person, you can be as creative as you’d like. For the most part, the most important thing you can do, is choose the setting very carefully.

Finding a way to ask someone to prom, at say, a fast food chain, is very different from asking them in a park. When deciding on a location, consider if it has special meaning to the two of you, and if it’s the most appropriate place to ask such a memorable question.

A Final Word

The prom is all about celebration, so embody that spirit when you ask someone to go with you. And keep in mind, no matter what creative way you ask someone to prom and no matter where, it will always be memorable.

Ask a cop if he will pull the person over. Make the cop act serious and ask for the license and registration. When the cop gives the boy the ticket then have the ticket say "Will you go to Prom with me" Love your name. It works better if the boy is a good boy who would never do anything wrong.

I think that boys need to be a little more romantic because we girls like a boyfriend that gives us flowers and a box of chocolates.

Okay, colored snow...a bit creepy/sick. Nonetheless, clever.
