Well..
You stop dead in your tracks as your eyes fixate on the girl half your class knows you have a major crush on. Everything around you dissolves and at this point in time, only she exists in your world.. and the prom(!) this weekend, “Oh God how am I ever gonna ask her out??”, you let out a sigh of despair as reality hits you hard, ripping whatever fantasies you had of her agreeing to be your prom date to shreds.
You reluctantly watched her walk away with her friends – so near, yet so far, out of your grasping hands. You made a mental note of the male friends she was with; they’re all more attractive than you and surely one of them must have taken a liking to such a beauty of a girl. That is just the tip of the iceberg; rumour has it that guys get attracted to her like bees to a honeycomb. If that proves to be true, then you don’t really have much time left to ask her out before someone else comes along and whisks her away.
How can I ask her to be my prom date, you ask?
Truthfully, there really isn’t any template sentences or pick-up lines that you must use to get her nod of approval, as each person is different and hence, they respond differently. Many people tend to act outside themselves, often backfiring as a result. How then, should you go about doing it? Here are a few tips that you can choose to use:
1. Be yourself when you ask your crush out
Iif you’re soft-spoken for instance, don’t try to sound loud and hope that she finds it sexier. “Would you like to go to prom with me?”, now say that like how you would any other sentence.
2. Get to the point
They say too many cooks spoil the broth, and that is especially true in this scenario.
It is all too common for people to beat around the bush and end up saying more than they should. Say what you have to say and leave it at that.
3. Schrödinger's Cat
Fans of The Big Bang Theory would remember this, when Penny was seeking Sheldon’s advice on whether she should date Leonard.
Schrödinger's Cat is an experiment designed by Erwin Schrödinger. It comprised of a cat in a box with a sealed box of poison that would open at a random time, killing the cat, and until that box is opened, the cat could be thought as both dead and alive. Hence, the only way to find out was to open the box. Similarly, for those afraid to ask your crush out, the result of you asking can end up both ways; good and bad. It is only by actually asking her that you find out which it is.
This article concludes with a reminder that following all these tips doesn’t guarantee you a date for prom, but rather a reminder of what you should try your best to avoid when undertaking this enormous task. Good luck!
