Getting the right prom date is often the result of
careful planning.
Girls typically work harder at
getting a prom date than do boys. They seem to know
intuitively how to get a prom date: planning months in
advance, spending time with the right guy, and hanging
out in the right group. These, the most successful
methods, work best with advance planning.
Guys need to face their fears: Will you risk
rejection by asking the person you are most attracted
to, or play it safe by asking someone else? For you, how
to get a prom date includes deciding what you want and
what you are willing to risk. Then, ask-but don't wait
until prom week.
If you did wait until prom week, you may still find a
prom date If you have a girlfriend or boyfriend, you
should already know how to get a prom date-but you
should have asked before now. The next easiest approach
is to ask a good friend. After that, asking someone in a
lower grade is a safe bet for guys, because junior girls
often make it a top priority to go to prom with a
senior. Asking someone in another school works, too,
since it feels risk-free all around.
If prom week is upon you and you are still wondering
how to get a prom date try asking your cousin, or your
brother or sister. Admittedly this is a last choice, but
it has a long tradition going back to the earliest of
proms.
