Hey, theres this girl in my pe class and I think she might like me. Well, I kinda like her too though. She acts kinda like it and gives me hugs sometimes and stuff and jokes around with me and stuff, and she seems like she always brings the topic of Homecomming up to her friend, lets call her Jenny. Anyways so she always says to Jenny that sits next to her when we sit on numbers for role call that she needs a date for Homecomming. But... I'm kinda scared to ask her to Homecomming because I don't know what to do.. I mean I know you go out to dinner and stuff and the guy drives the girl... but I don't have a car yet do I have my dad or mom drive us to the restaurant and then to the dance? I know to get her flowers or a corsage... ugh I don't know what to do! Someone tell me what to do about this and what should I get her and pretty much walk me thru the date! I mean like I could go with my friends or her friends because she says to her friend that all her friends are going to this fancy restauraunt with their dates and she wont get to go unless she has a date... so who drives and stuff? What do I do.... Help, I'm 14/m.
Sorry if this was a little long.

Definately ask her to the dance! You have nothing to lose. If you are too shy, ask her friends if she was interested in going with you. If signs point to yes, then go for it! Since you really like her, why miss out on an opportunity to ask her to the dance? If she even likes you the tiniest bit, then she would never say no :) Say, "Hey, I don't have a date to the Homecoming yet. Wanna go to the dance with me?" when she says yes, say "Okay, cool (smile). Maybe we could grab a bite to eat beforehand. How does that sound?" when she says that it sounds cool, say "Any suggestions on where we could go?" That's when she should bring up the the fancy restaurant her other friends are going to. When you go there, bring at least $120.00 to pay for you and her. Really, it depends on how much dinner costs. Ask your mom and/or dad if you can borrow that much money, and promise that you will do housework to pay off the debts. Unless you have the money to pay for it yourself. Anyway, tell her to come around your house at maybe, half an hour before you, her and her friends with their dates plan to meet for dinner. When she arrives, tell her how beautiful she looks, and pin the corsage on her or, if it has an elastic band, hold her hand and put it around her wrist. Your parents are going to want to take pictures, I can almost guarantee. When that's all over, say, "Shall we go?" and lead her out to the car. Open the door for her and let her into the car first Anyway, have you and your parents pick her up to go to the restaurant (Clean out your car really good and spray it with Febreeze. Oh, and remind your parents beforehand to not make any remarks about you and your date). Make small talk on the way there and at the restaurant ("I've never been to this restaurant. Is it good? I heard it has good food." or something along those lines). When you get there politely introduce yourself to the other girls and their dates (Hello, I'm (your name). I'm (girl's name)'s date.") Throughtout the dinner, keep an eye on your money. Ask her what she's ordering first, then see the price of it. Try to order something not too more expensive than that. When you pay at the end, it'd be pretty embarassing if you couldn't afford the dinner. Anyways, smile at her and offer her a bite of your food (don't be offended if she says no, she might not like what you ordered). At the end, say, "Oh, don't worry, (name), I'll pay for your dinner (and dessert, if she orders some)." When she thanks you, say "Oh, it's no problem at all." then smile. As for the dance, you should definately ask her to dance every slow dance (she might fast dance with her friends). When the last slow dance comes around, ask her once more, then say after about 30 seconds of dancing, "You know, (name), I really like you. Would you like to go out with me again sometime?"

I definately think you have a chance with her...since she sounds like she's been droppin' a lot of hints.

Good luck with all you do! I really hope you have good luck! :)
