Step1
Make sure that, to the best of your knowledge, your intended does not already have a date.
Step2
Choose a quiet location and an appropriate time to pop the question. Asking your future date in front of a large group of people will only serve to make him or her uncomfortable.
Step3
Prepare yourself before you ask. If you are nervous, take slow, deep breaths. Inhale through your nose and exhale through your mouth. Avoid caffeine, which will increase anxiety.
Step4
Avoid overselling your proposal. Simply remind your intended that the prom is approaching and express your desire to attend the dance with him or her.
Step5
Tell your date that you will be in contact to discuss logistics, assuming you've received a positive reply.

on 6/15/2008 Hmmm you might also want to add about what you can do for yourself as a person before asking a person to the prom too. I am referring to how you can make yourself someone people would want to be with at a prom. You know ...have you got style ?? Are you a Lady/gentleman ?? Do you have manners ??
Those kind of things go a long way too !

on 3/26/2007 I put in lights "Prom?"... it was senior prom so i figured i might as well go out w/ a bang.. the lighting arrangement was along the backstop just at the back of my house.. it was big enough so she could see it from about a football field away.. classy easy.. and she'll remember it forever!

on 3/8/2007 **** in a bag and set in on fire on their doorstep. They will stomp it out. You then pop out dressed in a turd suit and say "Lets poop are way to the prom..TOGETHER!"

on 2/6/2007 First by a bag of flour. Then on the outside of the bag write "a note for you is in the flour." Don't actually put a note in the flour. Next give her the bag and walk away. Later that day when she sees you, have a bouquet of flowers with a note in them. Hopefully by now she will have torn the bag open in looking for a note which is actually not in there. This is a good one, she will always remember it.

on 11/28/2006 My friend's boyfriend asked her like this, he drew on one side of her car "You + Me = Prom?" and drew a stick figure boy and girl and then on the windshield he drew to boxes one with a yes and one with no and on the other said love (name) and in her windshield wipers were her favorite flowers. very cute and no girl can say no!
