Winter Formal


Question Posted Tuesday December 30 2008, 8:21 pm

My school has a winter formal coming up. The thing is, I go to a private, all girls school. Not many of my friends have guy friends, and the ones that do are already setting some people up. I really want to go. I'm a junior and haven't been to a dance yet (my old school only had homecoming). Anyway, there's a guy from work I've been thinking of asking. The problem is, I don't know when or how to ask him. I talk to him, not a ton though. One of my friends said it would be creeping if I just out of the blue asked him to the dance, but then she changed her mind and said it wouldn't be. What do you think? Another thing, I'm afraid of people at work finding out. It's not that I'm embarrassed, it would just be awkward and they would be asking questions and whatever. I'm really shy, never had a boyfriend, so doing this would be stepping completely out of my comfort zone, which is something I really want to do. What do you think? How should I ask him? I don't want it to be like in the break room when everyone is around, and while we're working, there's people around and it would be awkward to ask. I was thinking of getting his number first, and asking him from there. How should I go about getting it? Any ideas? The dance is at the end of January. Thanks!

You don't HAVE to go to the dance with someone ;]

But I would just ask him. If you don't talk to him much, say maybe you can get to know each other more if you go together.

I don't know, I can't really plan out a conversation for you to have, because I have no idea who the guy is, and I have no idea how he'll respond.

You definitely should step outside of your comfort zone because if you don't, you're never going to meet new people or do new things. Just go for it. Seriously, so what if people at work ask about you two, and so what if he says no. It isn't the end of the world, because there are so many other things out there that are much worse than that.

Sorry, I don't mean to be harsh.

Thanks for inboxing ;]
