So TL seems as good a place as any to ask for suggestions on a creative way to ask a girl to prom. I know I can't really expect very many good responses or responses that aren't "just say 'will you go to prom with me?'" or aren't starcraft related, but I still have a little faith left in humanity. Please give me some real ideas!
Here's the situation just so you know the context: We aren't really friends but we share many mutual friends. We have 1 of 7 classes but sit across the room from each other, so we never really talk. I know it won't be awkward if I ask but I just want to be creative and unique about it because I'm thinking past prom into possibly dating her. The problem is that since we don't really talk that much there isn't any inside jokes I can utilize. Anyways, she's one of the few girls at my rich white people's school who isn't a bitch and maintains an above-average level of attractiveness. Prom is on April 19th and I know it's best to ask about 2 weeks before, which means I'll probably be asking at the end of next week.
And since I know TL is going to ask for pictures, I'll post them after prom if there is a good suggestion here that I end up using and it works.
this takes a bit more courage than most methods, but girls LOVE it if you decorate their house. when i did it i got a dozen roses, streamers, balloons, and a "red carpet" with a roll of red butcher paper i jacked from my high school's art dept. 100% success rate. also 2 weeks might be actually cutting it close...
*edit* yes this means you need to somehow get in contact with her parents or siblings without her knowing
Talked to her teacher to lend me a video presentation that she made. I copied the first bit and then spliced in a little *The following broadcast has been interrupted by Senior Ball* and followed up with a video of me asking her out. After that I ran in with flowers I'd been hiding all day.
Best part(besides she saying yes) was that she had to finish the presentation after I left.
wow, decorating her home, thats a good idea. Just figure out when her dad is home/she isn't, go knock on the door and introduce yourself, explain why you're there, and look him in the eye the entire time. If dad likes you, everybody likes you.

Is it really expected for a guy to do that much work just to go to promfuck for the first time with some random girl who you'll probably never talk to again in one or two years' time?
2 weeks is too close. there's a solid chance she accepts some other guys invitation, even if she's not serious about him, just so she has a date or doesn't hurt his feelings.
decorating house - i don't like this idea, but it's romantic if you want to do something special.

HMMM
maybe
I ended up going out with her for 8 months lol
i'm going out with her for 4+ years lol
Woah, when did you start dating? before or after prom?
i'm not too well acquainted with this cultural habit, prom, but if you are a nice guy and not overly nervous the simplest method of just asking her with a smile would be best imho.
*edit* i think if it was me i'd tell her that she woke my attention / i took to her even before and if not prom what would be a better opportunity to get to know her better (not creative but could work with some girls).

I drew all over the wall-sized mirrors in a girl's bathroom at my high school with markers with a couple friends. It was a really dumb idea while we were doing it. It was really awkward whenever girls walked in, so I hid in the stalls. Really really dumb.
Then my girl friends grabbed the girl I was gonna ask out, dragged her in there, and I was waiting outside with flowers.

What the fuck man, if you knew that you'll eventually ask this girl to prom the moment you met her then you should have started to do casual chit chat and the like because asking her to prom like a stranger/acquaintance is awkward.
oh this is gold btw.

...Without ever telling the friend to do that.
Girl: wtf, ask me to prom to my face. Me: I asked you to prom? O.o
...and then we ended up going together and had a great time, so perfect success rate so far!
I remember what my friend did but I'd doubt you'd be able to pull this off since it's on a different context. My friend and the girl were from two different (exclusive) schools so this was what transpired: Friend: Hey I'm going to your prom. Girl: Really? Who's your date? Friend: You.
Hmm, I dunno, I don't think I can really contribute but here's what I might do on top of my head: write her a letter about it, and fold it into an origami heart.. The good thing about that origami is that your message stays inside. Now, to give her the letter, you might want to pull off 2 or 3 magic tricks where the last one involves you giving her the letter. This way, it kinda throws her off guard with 2 magic tricks (so she won't be all that bitchy about your invitation and all) and the third trick will just get her off guard about your prom invitation.
- Get to the one class both of you have together early, and write on the board at the front something alone the lines of "X, would you be my prom date? - and sign it.
- Ask her over the school announcements in the morning if that's possible?
- Go up to her, get down on one knee and say 'X, I know we only share one class together, but seeing you in that class brightens up my day so, so much. Would you do me the honor in going to the prom with me?
- Link her to this thread.
In my opinion, they're too 'romantic' for just asking out her to the prom. The best way is to just straight out ask her. Last year I basically invited myself to another schools formal through text. I was randomly texting a friend from an all girls school about her day etc, and she told me she was really excited about her formal and that. So I simply joked around and said 'oh jeez thanks for the invite ".
