prom is on may 13th - i know less then 2 weeks! i still don't have a date & i really want to have one! i am not great friends with many guys, so i don't really even have much of a choice on who i can ask. i have one friend (we don't like hang out or anything, but we talk in school) who i considered asking but then i realized (& a friend agreed with me) that he most likely doesn't want to go to the prom at all. she used to joke with him (before she knew i wanted to go with him) about prom 7 he would always say he wasn't going & he doesn't want to go. however, he's basically the only one i can even really think of as a possibility, so should i ask him anyways? i also don't know when to get him alone to ask him if i do (i don't want to do it infront of people, but i want to do it in person). what should i say to make him see i want to go with him. also i don't think he's likes to dance, so would it be stupid to ask him? i want to dance, but he probably would say no to going & to dancing. what would you do?!?!!? (i don't know him really well, just as sort of an in-school friend)

even if he doesn't like to dance, don't worry about it! you don't have to stay glued to him the whole time at the dance anyway! im sure you will be able to get him to dance and loosen up, because once he sees everyone else having fun and doing that he is likely to do it too! but even if he doesn't, you can still dance with your friends and stuff! it will be fun! :) so go ahead and ask him, and deffinitely go even if he says no! prom was soo awesome! have fun!

headfonephreak15 answered Tuesday May 2 2006, 9:20 pm: well i personally am a guy and i know guys who can be just a shy as a girl can so i think it would be great to try it if he says no then guess what maybe all you might want to try or he wants to do is be a great friend and then maybe you could ask him to go as a friend and if he still says no dnt stop searching there's plenty fish in the sea go for it u may never kno the answer if u dnt try it 50% and higher of people in my opinion hu dnt ask the important questions will never kno if its what they were hoping for it to be.

go ask him the worst that can happen is that he says no.
if it makes it easier, write him a note or have a friend w/ you when you ask him.
devilspawn_666 answered Tuesday May 2 2006, 9:10 pm: If you know the guy doesn't like to go to dances and doesn't like to dance in the first place, you're probably wasting your time asking him. If he does say yes, he probably won't dance at all. Honestly, I think you would have a better time at prom if you went with a big group of friends, rather than with a single date. It should be about having fun and getting to spend one evening with your high school friends rather than stressing over having a date. Just go to the dance and enjoy yourself.

xLiisten2urheart answered Tuesday May 2 2006, 9:08 pm: I know everyone wants to go to the prom with someone...i'm not there yet but i have a cousin who i'm pretty close with. What i would do is just start a convo w/ him and kind of go into the prom thing like "the proms commin up...u going with anyone?" and if he says "i'm not going" say something like "oh. ok i was just wondering if you would go with me" and u never know that could change his mind!
