Step 1
Decide whom to ask to the spring formal. You might want to ask your crush out or maybe even a good female friend. Narrow your list to one person and prepare to ask her.
-
Step 2
Think up a plan of how to ask her. If you're asking the girl out as a friend, you should be more casual in your approach. If you're asking out a girl you know who is interested in you, you might try something more romantic.
-
Step 3
Rehearse. Asking a girl to a dance can be nerve-wracking if you're not going as friends. Practice what you'll say to her in front of a mirror or with friends.
-
Step 4
Find a good time to approach her. The best time to ask a girl out is when she's happy and having fun with her friends. It will be easier to pull her aside and ask her when she's in a good mood because you're more likely to get a definitive answer.
-
Step 5
Ask her to the dance. Say something like "I'd really like to take you to the spring formal. Would you like to go with me?" Keep your question simple so you don't sound too nervous and she doesn't get too nervous while waiting for you to get to the point.
-
Step 6
React to the answer. If she says yes, rejoice! If she says no, say "all right" and continue on with your conversation like nothing happened. Rejection hurts, and it takes a good man to take that rejection and move on from it without blaming anyone.
