Thread's purpose- to give non-creative guys help on how to ask your date to prom.

Any ideas you have/ past ideas can be mentioned.

My idea i was going to ask my girlfriend was when she isn't home go into her room and fill up a bunch of balloons and have one balloon with a note asking her to prom. And she'll have to go and pop the balloons till she finds the balloon with note.


Yes i do realize they have a ladies men cult but i felt that it is kinda dead and this would get more attention to it.

You can ride in the front seat with me, unless you want to ride in the back seat. It's next friday, I'll let you decide.

Mr. Start , I hope your class is contagious +k I think a letter sent through the mail in fancy old paper and pen( +wax )would be simple and thoughtful ( who doesn't like receiving a letter )

Take her sking tomorrow or this weekend but take a run before her and spell it out on the snow with spray paint under the lift so she sees it as you go up the lift together.

Im really stoked on prom this year. I was walking in the hall way and i saw her and said i'd be more than happy to take her if she wanted to go. Then after she said yes i was like oh wait i've got this for you, and gave her a rose and she loved it. it worked perfectly ;)

I snowshoed happy birthday to the guy i dated at sunday river last winter into the snow under the starlight chair by the pool. It's how I got the idea. I figured there's not enough fresh snow to walk it so spray paint would be better.... And they're fine with it as long as it's not on any of their stuff like poles or chairs.

thanks! I shot that video using Canon's standard picture style with color tone neutral, saturation jacked all the way up, contrast jacked all the way up, and sharpness all the way down (a method I do NOT recommend). then i graded the shots using magic bullet's No. 85 Look.

Is it an American thing to plan extravagant ways to ask someone to be your prom date?

No hate, just jealousy.

When I graduated the most creative thing was, "Hey, wanna be my grad date?"

it should be as big of a deal as you want to make it, as long as you don't do something extravagant but dumb. for example, i'd say i made a pretty big deal out of it by doing a project that took me over 20 hours, but it was completely worth it and it made her super happy. the more effort you put into it, the happier the girl will be (as long as you do a good job with it)

My GF hate soda and weve always had a little joke that i would find her a soda that she liked so I scanned the label of a jones soda into photoshop and put a picture of me holding a sign that said prom over the jones picture. It was subtle but she loved it.

haha well i actually didn't grow the flowers, that's the beauty of making a short film. the seeds i 'planted' were actually just pumpkin seeds. a couple weeks before i made the film my mom had a huge dinner party at our house, and we had bouquets of flowers all over the place. so on the day that i shot the flower scene, i went around the house snipping the flowers, leaving about 2-3 inches of the stem; just enough to make them stick in the ground. then i went out into the woods and arranged them.

yea, but you just have to put some thought into it. when i would get bored in class, i would just start thinking about how i wanted to ask her. as the idea started to come together, i would just jot stuff down on my notebook paper, i even storyboarded the whole thing while in math class. so it really wasn't too hard to think of something good

this is how i got asked this year. my girlfriend's dad is friends with a cop so she talked him into pulling me over. he said i was speeding, took my license and registration blah blah blah and came back with a ticket. he said i had to read the citation out loud and sign to agree to it and it said "i will take her to prom". it was good but now i have to come up with a better way to ask her to ball

My prom date is in charge of Paper Cranes for Japan at my school, its a charity that donates $2 for every origami crane they recieve. So what I did was make her 12 cranes, one of which was huge and had prom? written on it. I texted her to meet me out front of her dorm to get the cranes, when we met up i asked her to count them to make sure i had gotten them all. When she counted only 11, I pulled out the big ass crane and asked her. BOOM

Maybe the guy is super awesome at life and he just decides that he is going to straight up ask a girl because he has the balls to do something like that instead of giving her a note or making her read it somewhere. Yeah, then you would be missing out.

Romance isn't really needed it's prom and it's not a movie.
