I figure one of you guys can help me out, since all my friends are staying afterschool or are at the DMV now. This is extremely urgent. I'm extremely interested in this girl, and she's already been asked to homecoming. She declined, thank god, and I am going to ask her, but i never see her at school except on rare occasions. I have her e-mail, but asking people out online is stupid and I don't want to sound dumb. Anybody got advice? Sucks that homecoming is creeping up on us already.

Umm, try calling her. Sorry to be stupid, but I go to a small school in Canada (no eh jokes) and we don't have homecoming. But I dunno what homecoming is. Is it just like a formal school dance?

It's not your school. I don't think we have homecomings in Canada. And I don't know what they are either. |

Well when I lived in the States it was a football game that everyone goes to and you by garters or some crap. I think you buy girls mums... which I refer now as my mother.
Anyway, this is what I'd do if I were you, since I'm having a trouble with my partners right now as well:
1. If you see her on a "rare occassion", make eye contact and then just kind of keep looking. Don't stare or she'll think you're creepy.
2. If you know one of her friends, or have a friend that has a class with her, then get them to talk to her about you and junk. But don't do the whole 2nd Form (er... middle school) thing where the first thing they say to him/her is: "Hey! My friend thinks you're dead sexy!"... that's bloody annoying.
3. Look paticularily nice this week. Keep all the geeky clothes and Sonic Youth T-Shirts to a minimum. Think of what SHE likes. It's not about you, mate.
4. It's ALWAYS about her. If you have her AIM screen name or something, then talk to her on that. But don't bug her, and DO NOT ask her online. Just talk about all the stuff SHE probably would want to talk about.
5. No Counter-Strike or crazy language. That doesn't mean don't be yourself, it just means cut out all the "Negative" and "Affirmative" just a bit. Use it every once in a while jokingly to make her laugh.
6. Be outgoing. Girls don't like guys that are all kept to themselves, or guys that are self-centered. Remember, make THEM talk as much as you can. Asking questions is a sure way to get what you want. ( ;D)
Other than that, try to make them laugh, but don't be stupid. If something goes wrong or something act embarrassed and do the whole "look at me I'm cute because my face is red and I'm studdering" thing. It works every time.

Actually Prom is the most formal. I am going to ask a girl to homecoming next week. Our's isn't until Oct 25th. I don't like asking to early and a month ahead is a good time.

Where in Canada do you live (if you don't mind saying). I live in Nova Scotia and I think that maybe it is just a Maratimes thingy, but its hard to say. Not many schools around here have football teams or anything like that. I live in Vancouver. My school has a football team though and many other sports teams. I think a lot, if not, all schools around here have at least a few. |

I am positive i will get a yes from her if i ask, now the only problem is trying to find her at school. Our school is now so extremely overpopulated (freshman...) that finding any one particular person is extremely difficult without prior arrangement. Would it be too geeky to write her an email asking where she hangs before school starts?
I don't know her phone number, and i will NOT resort to asking her out online.

Yeah... whatever you do don't ask her online.
I guess you could send her an email about that or something. Do you have AIM? It would better if asked in a conversation, rather than just a random question.
If you do ask her randomly, it'll let her know you're on to something though. ;D
