Question Posted Friday May 5 2006, 5:33 pm

i want to ask this boy to prom. however he has told other people that he does not go to school functions & isn't going to prom (he doesn't know i want to ask him though). should i still ask? i think it would be awfully embarassing if he said no & i would feel awkward around him after. however there is no one else to ask & this is very last minute (prom is may 13th) & i want to do it before this weekend ends. some people say it's wrong to do over the phone & it's better to do in person, others say it it's OK. so first of all do you think i should risk asking him? & also, is it bad to do over the phone because i won't see him this weekend? thanks!

I think it is better to do it in person because you can see it in your eyes, face and everything. HMM iI think if you really liek him you should risk it. Think about it... Is he worth it? If the answer is yes, then ask him.

Asking a person to prom over the phone can be good or bad considering the relationship between the two. If you and this boy talk on the phone often just to talk then casually mentioning it would be fine, and saveyou embaressment since it was during a conversation. But if you and this boy do not often talk on the phone or have long conversations over the phone i would suggest in person would be best. This way, you can read his reaction and be able see if it is a yes or no before he answers.

Now when asking, since this boy seems to think the whole concept is lame, act casual and carefree. mention that you don't have a date and prom is coming up and you know he isn't into that kind of thing but it would really mean alot to you, and that he would be going to a big party i mean how bad could it be? If you are not incredibly close with him, then in person will make him more likely to say yes because it will be more personal.

Now when you say "should i ask him" the answer is yes. Because think of this, the worst that happens is that he says no, ok shrug it off and he will too. But when he says yes you will have a prom date and have a wonderful prom night to remember. AND you will have a closer relationship with this boy. But if you don't ask, you simply go to prom alone and slow dance with the wall? You have nothing to lose but everything to gain! have fun prom night!

Yes, i think it would be good to take the risk. You'll never know if you don't try.

And as for over the phone or not, you do it whichever way you feel is comfortable. I agree it would be better in person because if he said yes, you'd be able to hug and him and what not. But if he said no, it wouldn't be that good. Over the phone may be a better option if you feel like he'd say no more than he'd say yes. I think it would be a little easier on you on the phone if he said no, rather that in person. :]

Gook Luck! i hope he says yes. :]

I think you should ask him. The sooner you ask him the better. If you do do it over the phone it would probably be less embarrasing if he didnt want to go. No one would be around and only you 2 would know about it. Usually people tend to say its better to do it in person, but if you want to do it soona nd your not gonna see him you could use that as an excuse of calling him

okay well if he isnt planning on going to the prom anyway then dont risk asking him because it could be very embarassing. If you need a date to make yourself feel better ask a guy friend of yours to go with you as friends or just go with a group of your friends, its always fun with friends :)

hey!! alright well he has said that he doesn't like to go to school functions, but that doesn't mean that he will say no if someone asks him! it's prom... it's the way to end the school year... and if it's high school prom it's the best way to end your high school career! you have nothing to lose if you ask this guy! so what if he says no? it's not because he doesn't like you, it's because he's not really into dances. but what if he says yes? then you have a date! as far as things being akward if he says no... nah, they won't be! you might feel weird about it for a few days, but it doesn't matter! it's almost summer so you probably won't be seeing him anytime soon anyway!

you are right though, you have to do it ASAP because he NEEDS TIME to get everything ready! if you want to go with him don't delay asking him for another minute! as far as asking him over the phone or online... who cares! do what makes you feel comfortable! you're not asking him to marry you, you're asking him to go to a dance with you. you can do it however you want, don't worry about what other people say! it's not their problem and it's not any of their business! :)

so call him up or IM him or meet up with him... whatever you want, and just ask him if he wants to go to prom! if he's hesitant about it just tell him it will be fun and he has nothing to lose, and that it would be a shame to leave high school without seeing what a dance is like! and remember, if he says no... blow it off and be happy that you at least tried! then go to the dance with your friends and have fun! don't miss out on it no matter what! good luck and HAVE FUN!! :)
