Asking someone you've never really talked to before usually is more iffy because you really don't know how compatible you two are. @Anonie: Yeah, it’s usually better to ask someone you at least kind of know.

I guess you're a guy. ^^ As far as prom, though, I know a cute shy pretty girl that was asked by a guy from her class whom she hardly knew, and she accepted, but had a tough time feeling comfortable and eventually ditched the guy for her friends at the dance, also because... she's still sweet on another girl who already had another person (girl) to go with. It's tough out there for some people... :/ So yeah; maybe it's good to at least get to know someone as a friend for a bit before asking them to prom or such: everyone will be more comfortable and have a better time.

You don't want to ask her in front of her friends and they tend to move around in groups. Anyway I have always found the direct approach works best when asking a girl out.

Being a life time "geek", I used to have a really hard time approaching girls. I was so battered by rejection that i would always second guess myself when it came to asking a girl out. Until i put it into perspective. As a geek, I love to work on projects that would make a normal persons head explode...and i would fail...multiple time before got it right. I would always tell myself "F**k it! Just try it, the worst you can do is break it. Then you can just fix it again. No worries". I adopted a variation of that "mantra" when in comes to girls. "Just ask her out, the worst she can do is say 'No' and what have you lost? Nothing." I guess my point is this: Find what works for you and don't worry about rejection. For ever one girl that says "no" brings you closer a girl that's far better for you than you can ever imagine. <abbr><em>Anonymous Prime’s latest post: <a href="http://fnanon.com/2009/03/watchmen-review/" rel="nofollow">Watchmen Review:</a></abbr></em> I fully agree with you, Paul, asking a girl out only takes confidence.
