Ask a Girl to Prom or Homecoming in a Cute Way

Asking a girl out to the prom or homecoming is one of the most stressful things that you do during high school. The expectations of making a grand proposal can be more stressful than the dance itself. Luckily, there are a variety of creative and thoughtful ways that you can ask a girl to the prom or homecoming. With the help of props or your friends, you can ask the girl of your dreams out in a unique and memorable way.

Steps

Using Props

  1. Place signs on the side of the road. You can Design-an-Attractive-Lawn-Sign in succession to ask your crush the question. Each sign should contain one word in the question so that they have to continue reading them to see what it says. Make sure to put it on a stretch of road that they use often, and remember to include her name so that they know who the signs are for.[1]
    • Your signs can say something like "Morgan, will you go to the prom with me?"
  2. Hide your question inside of balloons. Use a sticky note with the big question and hide it inside of a balloon before blowing it up. Then, blow up a bunch of balloons and invite your potential date over. Tell them that you have a big question for them, and it's hidden inside one of the balloons. This is a fun and creative way for you to pop the question.[2]
    • Remember to give her something sharp, like a key or pin, so that she can pop the balloons easily.
  3. Use posterboard or sticky notes. You can ask your date to prom by setting up different pieces of poster board or sticky notes that spell out the word "Prom?". If you're using poster board, you can write each letter of "prom?" or "homecoming?" and then paste the pieces onto a wall. If you're using the sticky note method, use different colored sticky notes to spell out the words.[3]
    • You can set up the question on a wall in your room before inviting them over. When they walk into your room, they'll be able to see the question.
    • Other places to put the posterboard or sticky notes include a garage door, a wall that they pass regularly, or on their car.
  4. Spell the question out with candles. Spelling out the question with small candles is a great romantic gesture. Purchase tealight candles from a department store. Wait until the person is home and spell out the question on their front lawn. Give them a call and tell them to look out of the window so that they can see it.[4]
    • It's a good idea to get permission from your date's parents before you do this.
  5. Set up a scavenger hunt. This method is for people who like to solve puzzles and problems. Create a list of notes with clues on them and hide them all over your house. On the last note of the hunt, write down your proposal to the prom or homecoming. Later, invite your date over so that she can do the hunt.[5]
    • Your notes can say things like, "You can find the next clue where you wash your hands," "The next clue is behind something that tells the time," and "The final clue is the place where I sleep."

Getting Friends to Help

  1. Have your friends spell it out. Write down the letters in the words "Homecoming?" or "Prom?" on different pieces of poster board. Gather some of your friends and ask each one to hold a different letter in the word. Invite your date over and surprise her with the question. You can do this at your school at the end of the day or in the morning before everyone arrives.[3]
  2. Organize your talented friends to do a song and dance routine. Think of your favorite romantic artists and musicians. Choreograph-a-Dance routine before hand and practice with your friends. Then, invite your date over and put on the routine and pop the big question at the end. If you can't sing, you can play the track over speakers and lip sync the routine for a more comedic feeling. Choose a song that you both enjoy, or a romantic song that she'll know.[6]
    • You can find simple tutorials online if you don't how to create a dance routine.
    • Search for choreographed dances online that you can use for your proposal.
    • Some good songs to play include “Let’s Get It On” by Marvin Gaye, “I Want It That Way” by the Backstreet Boys, “I Wanna Dance With Somebody” by Whitney Houston, and “Love Shack” by the B-52’s.
  3. Get a friend to deliver the question in a note. If you want to be subtle with your question or you don't know your potential date that well, write down a note that explains why you want to go to prom or homecoming with the person. Remember to include details about why they are important to you and how happy it would make you if they went to prom with you. Slip the note to a friend and ask them to pass it to your date.[7]
    • Your note can say something like "Hey Jane, you're an amazing person. Ever since we met I knew that we had a special connection and bond and I just want to get to know you more. I'd like to know if you want to go to homecoming with me. Please answer on this note. Yours Truly, Brad."

Personalizing Your Proposal

  1. Write down a list of their interests. Knowing what kinds of things that your prom date likes doing will let you cater your proposal to their tastes and interests. Write down a list of what they like to do, including what their hobbies are, any sports or activities they are involved in, and the kind of music that they like. Try to incorporate one or more of these things into your proposal for homecoming or prom.
    • For instance, if the person you're asking out is really into tennis, you can spell out your proposal using tennis balls.[3]
  2. Do something that's meaningful for them. Think of the person's personality and what touches them or gets them invested emotionally. This could be a specific song, photo imagery, or something that they have experienced in the past. Try to weave that into your proposal so that it has the most emotional impact.
    • For instance, if you know they have a favorite romantic song, you can create a dance and singing routine covering the song.
    • If you've taken pictures with your date, you can include them in a scavenger hunt for your proposal.
    • If you both like a quote or a line from a book, try to integrate that into your proposal.
  3. Determine if the person enjoys privacy or likes grand gestures. Some people don't like grand public gestures and are easily embarrassed. If your date has this kind of personality, doing something public and romantic might turn them off. In this case, you should ask them in a private setting. If your date enjoys showing off their affection, a grand or public proposal might be the better route.
