"How to Ask Someone to Prom" by Tia B

As we all know Prom is somewhere around the corner! Prom is a very special day for a girl. It’s
supposed to be the best day of her life. Not so much for the guy. Guys are pressured into making sure
that their girl’s night is the best. If it isn’t, he won’t ever hear the end of it. Anyways, Prom won’t be
great if you have no one to go with! By the time my blog is posted there will probably be only ten days
till Prom! Better read this quick and follow every step!
Step one: Know who you are asking. First of all, you have to know who you are asking. Is it the really
hot guy, you’ve had your eye on since grade school? Is it the really popular girl that has no idea you
exist? Is it just a random stranger that let you borrow his/her pencil one day in class?
Step two: Follow them around. Once you got your eye on someone special, you must follow him or
her around school. I mean STALK them. You must find out what classes they have and where they
hang out during lunch and in the morning and after school. WARNING!! You have to be real slick
about this. You don’t want to get expelled or anything. Here’s a helpful hint: Bring a camera with you at
all times and take a picture of him or her as they wander around campus. They won’t be scared or
freaked out by you at all. You’ll have the perfect excuse! Just say that you are in Yearbook. (I do this
all the time.) *BE SURE TO KEEP THE PHOTOS
Step three: Stand out in the crowd. This is a very important step. Now that you know where he or she
hangs out, you must make yourself different. You must catch his or her attention. Here’s a suggestion: In
the morning, go to the band room and steal a guitar or any beautiful instrument that you see. I suggest
stealing the grand piano. *If you do steal the piano, make sure you have a friend that is willing to push
you around the school while you play it. *
It doesn’t matter that you are musically untalented. No talent is needed for this step. Now that you have
an instrument, walk this special person to each class playing it and singing to it obnoxiously. This will
totally get you his/her attention!
Step four: Ease the tension. If you have followed the first three steps correctly, this person will
probably be avoiding you! DON’T WORRY! It is a good sign! It only means that he/she is too nervous
and shy to talk to you. If this is the case, go develop the pictures that you took of him/her from step
two. On each photo, write something you like about them. For example, “I like the size of your nose
holes,” or “I like your ear lobes.” Once you finish, go to each of his/her classes early and give it to their
teacher to put on his/her desk. When they read it, they will fall in love with your wonderful comments
and might even want to ask you to Prom!
Step five: Ask. Now that he/she has some type of attraction towards you, it is time for you to ask.
There are several ways you can do it. You could go ahead and buy him/her a slice of cheese or even a
Poptart. Just hand it to them and say, “Take my food and be my Prom date.” If you demand it, there is
no reason for him/her to say no. Another way to ask is you could write a special Prom song for them.
Once you have it written down, sneak into the Activities Office and get on the intercom. Once you have
a hold of the intercom just casually say his/her name and dedicate the song to them. Sing it with
confidence and they will totally say yes!
If you followed all 5 steps CONGRATS you have a Prom date!
In all seriousness, if you know who you want to ask to Prom just ask them! It’s better to risk
rejection than risk having regrets. You don’t want to regret letting one of the greatest nights
of your life slip by.
