There are many hands-on manuals on how to invite a girl to a prom, but none that fully explain the complicated process behind this extraordinary event. This article will explain exactly the steps you need to take, starting with how to ask her, how to dress and how to go get it.
Steps
Step 1. Don't make any unnecessary guesswork
If you haven't asked them yet, do it! It doesn't matter if you've already been dating for a lifetime, you have to ask him. And do it in style! Don't just say hello to her in the parking lot, while she's changing to go for a run, and then say, "Hey, so … I was thinking about going to the prom … and you?" Bad! If you're going to invite a girl, try to do it right, but do it creatively (see the tips section, for some nice ideas). Don't forget this step! She won't forget this and her friends will take it out on you if you don't ask her properly. If the girl is your new crush, you will need to be even more creative and ask her in advance. There is nothing worse than arriving too late. The girls have been preparing to go to the prom from the days they dressed their dolls. Invite her a month in advance Not it is too early (see warnings). But, if you make a fool of yourself, there will still be other single girls looking for a date. So buy two tickets (see tips), and you will see that you can get a prom date.
Step 2. Find a suitable dress
If you don't have the courage to ask your lady what she will wear, you can play it safe with a classic black or white tuxedo. It will go well with whatever she wears. If you can find out what she's going to wear and would like to try something original, you can too, but make sure you check that it goes well with the shop assistants, because they know how to do their job, but you don't. When it comes to prom, a slightly original tuxedo might be the right choice.
- When trying on a tuxedo, be sure to wear the pants at the waist, forget the low waist, or you'll risk looking like a South Park character with boxers out. This is a formal dance, not a rave. Also, the tailors will have taken the right measurements, so if the pants are too long, you are probably not wearing them as you should.
- One part of the outfit that people always notice is the cufflinks. The basic rule is that if they hurt, itchy, or are annoying, you're not wearing them properly. When wearing cufflinks, make a small fold in the sleeve of the shirt and then punch the fold from side to side using the cufflink. If you do it right, you should see the button on the outside of the shirt and the closure also it on the outside. There should be nothing inside the shirt or in contact with your skin.
Step 3. Go get your lady
- Make sure you have some flowers. (see tips).
- Arrive on time. There is nothing worse than leaving a girl waiting for you.
- If you meet friends there, talk to them, but when she arrives, make sure she is the center of your attention (see tips).
- Pin the flower. If you forget your boutonniere, don't worry, you don't need a flower (but she does, so don't try to forget it).
- Take some beautiful photos with her (because girls love to be photographed).
Step 4. Be a knight by opening doors to her and being polite
You're going to a formal, civilized evening… you don't want to ruin it by doing something stupid. Escort her wherever she goes, offer her your jacket if she's cold and have fun. She needs to be the center of attention throughout the evening, so make sure she hears herself. Do what she wants, even if there is something you don't like that much. If you do this, you will have an unforgettable evening that she will always remember. The rest is up to you. Read the warnings and advice for more information.
Advice
- A creative way to invite her to the prom might be to ask your class leader to read a message in class. Usually it wouldn't bring anything good, but this time the message might say, "Do you want to come to the prom with me?" Or, take her to a photo exhibit and flag one of her photos as sold. When she goes to check who bought it she will find a message asking her to go out. Just remember to sign the message. Don't send her anonymous messages. An unpleasant situation may arise for both you and her, and possibly for another guy as well.
- Some bouquets of flowers look terrible. To find one worthy of yours, look at a small florist. If you already know how your girlfriend will dress, even better! Tell them and they will find you a suitable bouquet. If not, choose white flowers or even small red roses. They go well with everything. Just make sure they aren't half-wilted flowers that say nothing. There must be at least one single flower in the bunch to be able to define it as such. Girls love flowers and love to smell their scent, remember that. Also, if you buy the flowers in advance, make sure they don't wilt by refrigerating them. Don't bring dead flowers to your lady.
- Buy tickets yourself. This is a date, not an informal social gathering. If she offers to pay, you can split the expense in half. However, make sure you meet all other expenses.
- Don't get impatient if your girlfriend has to leave you waiting while she's styled or wants to do some last-minute touch-ups. Remember she wants to make herself beautiful for you, and girls are very sensitive, so don't force her. Also when your lady comes down, compliment her, and make her feel like the most beautiful girl in the world.
Warnings
- If you invite a girl you have a crush on and she says she has to think about it and will give you an answer tomorrow or some other day, don't invite someone else until she gives you an answer. There's a chance both girls can agree, and you don't have to hurt their feelings. Accompanying both girls would most likely end up in a slaughterhouse and you shouldn't even consider that.
- Girls are very sensitive. They spend a lot of time getting ready for a dance. But, don't be afraid to have fun. Tease your girl a little bit, but be fun. Compliment her and then surprise her by saying, "If I weren't here, you'd be the most glamorous person in the dance." They love this kind of joke.
- If you invite her weeks after prom, try not to feel uncomfortable while waiting for prom day. If you were great friends before and can't talk to each other after you invite her, then something must have gone wrong.
-
Dancing doesn't give you a license to reach out. Do not overdo it.
- Do some dress rehearsal. It will make the time go by faster and it will be fun.
