How do I answer back to a girl that asked me to go to winter formal?
By Jacob J.
Thank you for asking, I would love to go.
Politely. Yes, thank you for asking me. Just remember, it takes a lot of courage to ask someone out. They face rejection from someone they like. So, if you already have plans, or care not to go with her, gently say no. Just remember, one day you will be asking someone to go with you somewhere, how would you like to be treated if her answer was no.

I'm asking one of my guy friends to our winter formal this year. I just want it to be creative because we're only going as friends. Any ideas?

"Hey! I want to go to winter formal, not alone of course, so come with me maybe?"
I'm dating a guy from a rival school and he is a head football player. We are seniors this year and it's our last dance before he goes to basic. So I want it to be very special. He is always super spontaneous and creative. For example, when he asked me to be his girlfriend it was the Fourth of July last year and we went down town on an old railroad bridge and watched fireworks. It was perfect. I want to wow him like he did me, by being super creative and maybe incorporating football into the plan somehow since he likes it so much. Any good ideas?

One doesn't take anyone for granted. Asking is still a courtesy, but don't beat around too many bushes or he'll get confused.
There is this guy from a different school that I would like to ask to winter formal at my school, but I'm not sure if it would be something he would think was normal. I've talked to him a couple of times and we know each other. I got the feeling that he had a crush on me the last time I saw him. I don't know if I should ask him? and how should I ask him?
By Apple K.
Since you know him, you can just casually tell him the Formal is coming up and you need a date and you think it would be fun if he went with you. He may just say yes. If not don't think he isn't interested, guys this age can be shy about such things.
I need a really cute and creative way to ask a guy to a winter dance. Got any ideas?

Here are a couple that me and my friends did
-trash his front porch with a sign in the middle saying Winter formal? with (your name)
-get a pizza and write on the front of the box "i know this is cheesey but winter formal" and on the inside write with your name
I've liked this guy for a really long time and we have had a couple classes together over the years, but we don't really get the chance to talk that much. We've had short conversations a couple times and now he always says hi to me in the halls (no class this year together).
I wanna ask him to winter formal, but it's hard because we hang out with a completly different group of people. How should I ask him without making him feel awkward?I think a simple approach is the best. He always says "hi" in the school halls so he clearly wants to keep in contact with you.
Have a great time!
My school is having a winter formal at my school and it's girls ask guys. I want to ask my boyfriend to go with me in a fun and cute way. It's in about a month and I know he'll say yes, but I wanna make it a nice surprise. He has no idea about it either and he goes to another school. Any ideas? :)

Take a piece of paper asking him to winter formal and have the paper eliminated. Put the paper in a bucket of water then freeze it. Have him melt/break the ice to see what the message says.
I'm writing a letter for my yearbook, saying my creative way of asking my boyfriend to winter formal, and I have no super creative ways of asking him. Help!
By Aubrey from McMinnville
Wouldn't it be taken for granted, if he is a steady boyfriend, that if you were going to the dance, he would be going too? That is the way any relationship that I know of works.
I have this winter formal dance to go to and, us girls, we have to ask the guys to go to the dance. I have no clue on how to ask this guy I really like to go to the dance with me.
Please help me, I need some help on how to ask him if I do go to the dance.The best way is directly. Ask him yourself; don't ask a friend to do it for you. Try to get him when he is by himself, smile, and ask him if he'd like to accompany you.
56 years ago I had to ask a guy to a Sadie Hawkins dance. I was a junior in high school. That guy and I just celebrated 50 years of marriage this year! Just ask him face to face. It was scary for me but I am so glad I did it!
Now we know how men must feel when first asking for a date!
First of all, I'd ask him if he is going to the formal; if he is already booked then you both need not be embarrassed by a refusal. Be interested in his response, and say you haven't quite decided yet whom to ask. A little white lie can save face.
One line a friend uses is to walk up to the guy she is interested in, tilts her head and smiles coyly, and then asks him if he'd like to get married or would he rather go on a date with her to whatever event is appropriate for the moment -- like in a bar, she saunters sweetly up to him, smiles and says, "Would like to get married or would you rather just dance with me?" Works every time.
This is our winter formal where girls ask guys! How should I ask a good friend who does rodeo to it, in a cute way?
By Hailee
If he is a good friend, why can't you just ask him? I don't understand why people think everything has to done in a cute way.
