| Yeah... Uhhh, last time I checked, my homecoming is about 3 weeks away... and my friend so kindly reminded me of something Ive been dodging for a while. Asking a girl and getting through the dance. Alright, heres the short story. I met her last year, we were in the same band. One of my friends knew her, and introduced her to me. My section leader was currently going out with her, and I just met her, so... I didnt have THAT much of an attraction to her. They broke up, she started swooning over Seniors (She was a freshmen like me mind you) and we became closer friends during lunch. This "habit" broke, and it was way past homecoming, and she was accepted into our "possie". About halfway through freshmen year, I became slightly attracted to her, never saying anything, but getting to know her better through the year. We got on a good level of friendship by the end of the year, then summer came. Marching band comes at the end of summer, and I think she totally forgot about me. So we still have one lunch together and one class (not band) and we catch up a little. The subject of homecoming comes along, our lunch group talks about who is going or not. I say not sure because Im not much of a dance person, but then I hear she was asked by someone and she turned him down. My friend so kindly told me this just now, and we had a long discussion about homecoming. Now I think I want to actually take her... and I have no clue how. Ive had 0 dating experience up to this point. I have no clue on how to approach her, and even if she did say yes, Id still have no clue how to actually get through the pre-dance, the dance, and the after dance. Emphasis on the "I cant dance at all" part All of you people who went through this, please share a little wisdom.  |

| I never went to a Homecoming till my senoir year and that was with friends though. I did end up going to prom both years of junior and senior though. Just the junior year I went with my boyfriend at the time and for my senior year I went with friends again. Mind you I loathe wearing dresses and dancing. Just ask her out and don't get your hopes up too high cuz who knows what her answer will be. And if you two do end up going just have fun. | |||

Mwhaha, I went to Homecoming my umm..Freshman year and maybe another year after that..the dance. I never went to the football game because we sucked. I've never had a date to homecoming. I've gone with friends and it's fine just that way. Danced in a little circle..well I attempted to and I didn't dance too bad. I didn't look like a dork  . Don't worry about the dancing, just let everything flow. If you put too much thought into it then you can screw it up and you don't want that. But! Right now you have to focus on asking her out so just do it! Yay for Nike. Mention homecoming to her, see if she's going, see if she'd like to go with you. Either that or some other way you may like better.. |

| I've never gotten this "Homecoming" thing (I live in Australia) so I had to look it up in Wikipedia My advice to you -- learn how to dance a little. If it's slow dancing, ask your olds. Your Mum will probably think you're precious and jump at the chance to teach you, if she's anything like most Mums.... As for your date, just plain... ask her. Maybe with some flowers. |

| High School slow dancing is easy, if you're just there and not dating, put your hands on her waist, she'll put hers on her shoulders, and rock back and forth slowly moving around. It's when you get out of high school where dancing gets hard, (I'm learning how to waltz, not exactly the easiest of things for me, but I need to learn how to dance before I get married some day) As for making it through prom, find some nice clothes, I doubt you need a tux, you'll need to get her a wrist corsage, usually about $20, and find a nice place for dinner, or eat with a group of people... then after if things go well, you can ask her to a place like IHOP or Village Inn that is open 24 hours for some early morning breakfast... and talk. That's all I ever did for dances in high school, things went well only once, so don't count on going anywhere afterwards. |

| I think you can definitely learn how to dance, it's not that hard. Besides, you don't have to be dancing for every song, just go out there and have a good time with her. Like BL said, group dinners and stuff are always easier and generally more fun for everyone. If you two really click, you can go out after by yourselves, enjoy time alone after.  Good luck with asking her and all, and I hope you get to go and have a great time.  Never having dated before isn't a reason to not start now, you realize that don't you? You can do it. |

Oh, and when you ask her, if you want to bribe her into saying yes you can get her some roses or something, I mean only a cold hearted bitch would say no to someone with flowers in their hand.  . |

| *Sigh* Step 1: Find girl to ask. (Check) Step 2: Get to know her better. (Check) Step 3: Actually sit her down and ask her. (Help) Yeah. I can never seem to get her and me alone long enough for me to actually ask her. Either its before class and the bell rings and the teacher cuts the talking, or its in the halls and if I do stop to talk to her, we will both be late. I tried to talk to her on Saturday during Tag Day, but she was with her group of friends. I wanted to talk to her Friday after the game (I had brownies that day, so that was going to be my bribe ) but she just kinda disappeared after turning in her Marching Uniform. It would be a lot easier if I still rode her bus, but there was a stop switch, and now that doesnt happen anymore. Stay still dangit, I like you!So, yeah. How can I actually corner and ask her? Without other friends getting in the way? |

| Maybe find out what she's doing one day after school, offer to go see a movie or go get something to eat, just as friends, and when you have that time with her alone.. GO FOR IT! Or what a lot of guys do at my school is, they bring flowers and a nice letter and stuff to school, put it on the girls desk of whatever class she has 1st period, and either sign their name or leave it anonymous until a break time when you can see her and be the hero who brought her flowers and asked her to a dance. |

| That could backfire hardcore. Just be all like "Yo, you wanna chill at the dance?". For added affect, you can stuff you crotch. | |||

Did you ask her, or were you two just.. shoved together in the group?  Let her know you want to take her.. or something. And learn how to dance. |

| Just pull her out for all the line dances! Easy and fun! Not so much embarassing at all! Wait, do they even have line dances at Homecoming? Slow dances... Haven't got there in my life yet.(edited by Snika on 10-04-05 12:24 AM) |

| Don't tell him to line dance, wtf is wrong with you. >8( KATW, I bet you could learn online. There are like.. 6 steps to it, and you just repeat those steps until you're good enough to do that while spinning, and there you have really great dancing! |

| It's good you guys are going on the group date thing! Sounds fun I used to go with friends but there weren't any guy friends . The dancing thing? So..what is it about it you need work with?  watch how other people dance and get your jiggy on. I do that . The rest can come natural. Watch some music videos and see how they do it to the music and some how make it simpler for you. Or yeah, online could also help . |

| The only thing I'll be needing any help with is... Can you ask someone (at a later time during the dance maybe) who's already got a date to dance? Last I heard, it wasn't so uncommon for someone to have 2 or more dates (as in dances with 2 or more people by the end of it), but I'd like to know personally. I was gonna ask ahead of time, but this one girl's been meaning to ask this one guy since the beginning of it all, and... I wasn't so sure I even wanted to go yet, until now. Doesn't necessarily mean it's too late, but I wouldn't try to get *TOO* optomistic here. (edited by Seph2k4 on 10-11-05 08:30 PM) |
