So, it's prom season. As in the dance at the end of a high school year, in America, at least. Long dresses, tuxes, the whole shebang. As a senior in high school, I think I'll be going, but I have not yet asked the apple of my eye, and I'm looking for a creative way to do it...

Last year I asked a girl with a limerick attached to a fruit basket, which was fun, if not a bit campy, but I feel the need to top it this year. I know someone who baked cupcakes, each with a letter on top that spelled out "Prom? (smiely face)"

I've been throwing around the idea of getting a fortune cookie that asks her to prom, but I'm not sure how I would accomplish that...

Any ideas?

This will be funny.

Also, my suggestion: JAHO.

Rent a Spitfire and fly it over her house, shooting down German planes so that as they're crashing to the earth in flames they spell out "Will you go to the Prom with me?"



You said creative, not practical.

Send her an email asking her to the prom and license it under the Creative Commons Share-Alike license

Now that's Creative!

Weren't you a senior in high school like three years ago?

Anyway, personally, I'd just do it with words. Maybe I've been out of high school too long to see why it's so important. It's not like you're proposing. Failing that, wear a dress and ask her if she would like to wear one just like it.

I like this one. Where can I get a Spitfire? And people willing to crash a few dozen German planes for that matter...

And to IHaveAFatDog, I probably said that because I wanted to sound cool while I was a freshman. (That is, I broke a commandment somewhere in there...) I actually am a senior now!

I just took my date on a nature trail, and hid a small stuffed bear hidden in a hollowed out tree with a letter asking if she'd like to go to the prom with me beforehand.

Buy her a cassette player, make her a mix tape of your favorite tunes, and at the end of the tape ask her.

The only problem is making sure she gets to the end of the tape

Spitfire, just borrow one from a museum. And for people, try Germany? :shrug:

In Enlgand we don't do proms.
but ill have a go

Me "Do you want to go prom?"

Make a scavenger hunt for her, but do it in an area where random people wouldn't mess with the stuff.

Sit outside her window with a radio blasting some amazing music oh wait......make a strawberry cake with the words " Will you go out with me for the prom?"
in all strawberries. Sure it is a lot of strawberries but I am suggesting this because of forum dictates this. Then you make a witty joke about strawberries and BAM!

Or maybe I could use cherries instead.

AWW YEAH

Maybe a pizza though... I might actually do that...

ahhh, you've come to the right place my good man

for you see, despite having minimal knowledge on the female mind, rest assured I have your answers

1.drink some telvanni bug mask, I trust there's a store near you that sells it
2. approach the dame
3. look at her lustrously (maybe let your tongue hang out for good measure)
4. ask her out in these exact words "hey baby did you know the human body has 261 bones? want another?"

I assure you she shall be lapping at your pools of affection like a gravely injured dog laps at its wounds.

DISCLAIMER: I, Hagashager P. Wellington, claim no responsibility for any resulting consequence brought about by this process. Perform at your own risk

all jokes aside, do people really like the whole gimmicky fancy stuff as you've talked about, I'd just be casual about it.

"Hey, wanna go to prom with me?" seems like a fairly straight-forward and un-assuming question

Use reverse psychology

Tell her you would never want to go to the prom with her and she's an ugly fat slag of a pig

She'll instantly fall for you

Oh I thought of a good one Kidnap her family hold the hostage and then tell her if she wont go you kill them and if she don't believe you cut of her little brother ear and send it to here.

Well, we're actually already dating, and asking someone to prom is just a nice thing to do if you're a couple, I guess... I don't know if people do that in places besides here.

In any case, the fact that she's going to say yes regardless of how I do so just makes it something fun to do more than anything.

Without her knowing, put a crumbled-up a piece of paper in her food that says "will you go to the prom with me?"

Something involving balloons. Or you could dress up as something/ someone

This is completely reasonable and guaranteed to work. If you can't happen to find Telvanni Bug Musk, I suggest using Ant Queen Pheromones.

Make a youtube video? A facebook group/event? Spell it out in cups in OB/MW/FO3/NV, take a screenshot, and show it to her?

What's wrong with just asking? My highschool didn't have a prom, just a grad but most people didn't take dates.

A trail of Post-It notes leading from her locker to yours.

Re-enact the balcony scene from Cyranno.

Leave small animals as tribute on her doorstep.

Gorill-o-gram in class.

That's brilliant, why do I never think of these things?

Also @FateOrFatality, what is Jaho?, my google search isn't giving me the answers, and people here seem to be using it frequently.

It's actually a bit of an in joke - although, this is the internet, so I guess it's a BGSF meme. JAHO, acronym for Just Ask Her Out. We get a lot of relationship threads here, you see.
