Approach your potential spring formal date. If you're nervous, ask him to step away from his friends using some excuse. If you're at a mall, ask him to come with you to get a snack. If you're at school, walk him to his locker to "borrow" his biology notes.

Tips & Warnings
If you're planning to ask out your crush, try to get to know him first. Hanging out regularly or talking between classes is a great way for him to put you on his radar and for you to make sure you actually like him enough to ask him out.
If you're feeling crafty, ask your guy out in a fun way. You might want to stick a note in his textbook or throw a paper airplane at him bearing your question. Just make sure you throw it at the right guy!
Don't assume the guy you want to ask will say no before you ask him. Psyching yourself out before asking him will make you seem jittery and more likely to back out. Just do it.
Don't ask out a guy who is in a relationship. He isn't likely to say yes to you, and if he does, you will have a jealous girlfriend breathing down your back for the entire dance. Keep your eyes on the single, available guys.
