Finding a cute way to ask a girl to prom is always fun
So you’ve decided who you would like to go to prom with, and now you’re unsure of how to ask that girl. It’s fun to ask people in cute ways, rather than just “hey wanna go to prom with me?”, but that’s not always the best choice.
When deciding how you should ask a girl, you should first know the answers to these questions:
- How well do I know this girl? How well does she know me?
- Would she expect me to ask her to prom?
- Is she likely to say yes?
Sometimes the answers are obvious — if you’re wondering how to ask your girlfriend, all three will be pretty obvious. Others you may have to take a guess on.
Should I ask in a cute way?
If you think the girl is likely to say yes, then I definitely recommend this. Sure, you could just walk up and ask, but asking a girl in a cute way will make it memorable for the both of you, and you’re going to love her reaction. There’s no need to go overboard in how much time or money you spend on this, but putting at least a little effort into it is definitely worth it.
Some guys may give you a bit of flak for doing more than just asking, but in the end, their dates will be jealous that they didn’t receive the same treatment.
However, if the girl is likely to say no (for whatever reason), I would recommend against it. If you go to great lengths just to ask, and then she says no, you’re going to feel worse than you otherwise would because of the lengths you went to. If your hopes aren’t high, then your best choice is just to simply approach her and ask.
What are some tips for asking her in a cute way?
- Do something original. A lot of people ask in pretty similar ways — flowers and a letter asking were pretty common in high school.
- Make sure she first finds out in front of her friends. This is a biggie — if you surprise her in front of her friends or she finds the question while around her friends, this is huge and earns you a lot of brownie points.
- Give her something to do. Make her do something in order to find (or answer) the question — whether it’s as simple as turning around or as extravagant as a treasure hunt, do something to incite her curiosity and make her work to find the question. Nothing too difficult or too involved, but a small task could definitely be fun.
- Personalize it. If you know she’s really into some hobby, style of music, or TV show, try to find a way to incorporate that in somehow. Just make sure that she’s either pretty clear about her interest in something or that she’s mentioned it to you before — otherwise this could come across as a bit creepy.
Do you have any examples?
Of course. Here are a few ideas I’ve heard of. Not all of these fulfill the above requirements, but they’re still good ideas:
- Write “will you go to prom with me?” on a small piece of cloth in sharpie, and then color the rest in with washable marker. Give it to a girl and tell her to run it through the laundry.
- Tape the note on a remote control car, and at lunch drive the car up to where she’s standing.
- Write it out on her lawn with forks
- Put a string leading from her locker with notes gradually asking each word: “will”, “you”, “go”, “to”, “prom”, “with”, “me”, and approach her as she reads “me”.
- Make a shirt asking “will you go to prom with me?” and below it write both “yes” and “no”. Give her the shirt and a sharpie so that she can circle her answer
- Use PostIt notes to cover her car/locker/something with stickies, each saying “Will you go to prom with me?”
- Get some friends to sing a song with you asking her to prom. Props if it’s one of her favorite songs or you write it yourself.
What if she’s my girlfriend?
If she’s your girlfriend, it’s pretty understood that you guys will go to prom together, but you could still make her day by asking her in some cute way. And plus, you don’t have to worry about rejection!

OK, laugh if you must but I’ll tell you how i ask a girl to prom in high school.
It was after lunch and i went up to her and said something like “I heard that that you were to going to prom….” she asked me who i heard that from, i told her none of her damn business. anyway….that convo floated to her saying “well then who am i going with?” to which i replied “Me!”. She chuckled and said “Really” and then i said “i’m picking my date up at 7, you gonna be ready?” shes said “7:30″ I said “Deal”.
simple, but yet not the normal way of doing it.
My suggestion to you guys is one word: Confidence.
Good Luck!
