Boys. You can go to prom with ‘em or you can go without ‘em. But all too often, the fear of asking is what determines one choice from another. Well, never fear, confused Pres girls—the Voice is here to help! Whether you’ve just gotten interested in each other or have been together for a while, here are some suggestions to ask that special someone that you have in mind.
For the Coffee-Addict:
Go to Starbucks. Pick up a coffee cover and write, “Will you go to prom with me?” on said cover. Then, take your prospective date to Starbucks. Pick up their cup for them and slip on the “prom” coffee cover. Then give them the cup and try not to spazz as you wait for their reaction.
For the Gamer:
Give him a videogame cover of a game he doesn’t currently have. Switch the actual video game with a video of you asking him to prom. Then offer to play the game with him.
For the Brave Soul:
Disclaimer: This next one would probably best for someone who doesn’t get embarrassed easily. Give six notes to six of his friends and ask them to deliver them to him once a day for a week. The first note can say “will”, the second, “you”, and so on, until they spell out, “Will you go to prom with.” On the seventh day, show up with the seventh note which will say “me?”
For the Bookworm:
Start an argument with him over an obscure fact in one of their favorite books. Challenge him to look it up. Then pull out said book and tell him to turn to a specific page where it states the answer. When he does, there should be a note taped to the inside of the page asking him to prom.
For the Lover of incredibly lame jokes:
Give the askee an untampered-with bag of flour with a note that says “Look in the flour.” The next day, after he has searched the bag of flour with no luck, give him a rose (or other kind of flower) with a rolled up note in the middle: “Oops! Wrong flower! Will you go out with me anyway?”
For the Mathematically Inclined:
Tell them you have a really hard math problem that needs solving. Then tell them you’ll program it into their calculator. Take said calculator and on the screen spell out “Will you go to prom with me” (for those who don’t write notes on their calculators during class, you get to the letters by pressing 2nd and then the “alpha” key).
For the Puzzler:
Play hangman, and have the secret word spell out “prom.”
For the Debater:
Write a case saying “Resolved: you should go to prom with me.” Then list three contentions why they should do this (ex. Contention 1: we would be adorable together. Can’t argue with that logic!).
For the Talkative:
Sneakily take his phone for a couple minutes, and re-label yourself in his contacts as “prom?” Then call him and wait for him to pick up and answer your query.
For the Movie Critic:
Invite him over to watch a movie. Make a bowl of popcorn and at the bottom of the bowl tape a note saying, “Will you go to prom with me?” Then fill the bowl with popcorn.
For the Walking Dictionary:
Play Taboo with him, and pretend that one of your cards is “prom.” Give him clues like “it’s where you and I should be going on May 8.” Hope that he guesses it correctly…
For the Date that believes himself to secretly be a spy (or if you’re planning on asking Chuck):
Deliver a tape with this message, “Your date, should you choose to accept it, will be with ________ at _________ time on ________(day). You will be picked up by a person wearing ________. Your date will feel like he may self-destruct if you do not reply by ________.”
For the Musician:
Select four songs that the two of you like, and find the sheet music for them. One song should have a “P” in the title, the next an “R”, the third an “O, and the last an “M”. Cut out big red letters spelling “prom” and tape/glue them on top of the original letters in the title. Then lay out the pieces of sheet music in front of him, and the red letters in the title should jump out, spelling “prom.”
For the Gourmet:
Stick a fortune cookie in the microwave for about fifteen minutes till it unfolds. Then stick your own fortune inside, re-fold it, and deliver it to him. (Something along the lines of “in ___ days, you will go to prom with a girl named ____. Just be creative.)
For the Athlete:
If he plays a sport involving a ball (stop snickering, ladies) purchase one and write, “Prom?” on it. After that, you have a couple options. You can deliver it, leave it on his doorstep or throw it at him. Whichever seems the most appealing at the time.
For the Boy:
Just ask him. It’s seven words. I promise you’ll be ok.
Well Pres girls, best of luck in your romance-driven adventures. Have fun planning and executing the asking. And remember the most important thing of all; nothing ventured, nothing gained!
