How to Ask a Girl To Prom

Asking a girl to prom can be a stressful event for a teenage boy. However, if you plan out the whole process in advance, you can avoid a lot of the stress associated with asking a girl to prom. Do not let yourself get too worried or worked up about searching for a date. The worst that can happen is she will say no. And if she does, move on--there are plenty of other fish in the sea.

Difficulty:

Moderately Easy

Instructions

1. Select the girl you wish to ask to prom. The girl should be someone you know and are friendly with. If you've been on a date with her before, that makes her an even better candidate. However, even if you are just friends, you can still ask her to prom.

2. Find out whether she is going with someone else. If you aren't comfortable asking the girl directly, ask a couple of her friends whether they know if the girl in question is attending prom with anybody yet. If she isn't, that's a green light to proceed.

3. Talk to the girl who you decided to ask to the prom. Relax and be yourself. Broach the subject of the prom and gauge her reaction. If she seems open to the idea of going but doesn't mention a date, that's a clear signal that you can prepare to ask her to the prom. Even if she doesn't sound too excited about the prom, you can still plan on asking her. Her hesitancy might be associated with a lack of a date for the prom.

4. Ask the girl to the prom in an informal setting. You don't have to be on a special date to ask her. However, it's best to ask in person rather than over the phone. Once you have decided to ask her, just do it and get it over with. Ask her simply and directly. Whatever her answer, the stress will be over.

Tips & Warnings

• Always be confident. Your confidence will make the situation less tense.

• Don't beg a girl to go to the prom with you. If she declines, move on and find a different girl.
