Prom Date 101: The Top 5 Do’s and Don’ts of asking a beau to Prom

 5 best ways

1. Play a game of hangman with her that spells out “Will you go to Prom with me?”

2. Send her on a scavenger hunt, giving her clues as to where she can find the person who wants to escort her to Prom.

3. Serenade under one of her windows to a song you have written about your Prom night together.

4. Make a candy bar

poster that says “Sugar Daddy, Please don’t Snicker. Will you go with me to Prom? I always wanted to go with you, since you’re such a BIG HUNK. Love, Your Sugar Baby.” (Or make up your own message. Some good candies to use: Oh! Henry, Nerds, Chuckles, Milky Way, Mars, Mamba, Skor, Lifesavers, Sweetarts, Almond Joy, Mounds, Hot Tamales, etc.)

5. Have a Chinese restaurant put a note in a fortune cookie ahead of time giving details about your Prom date. Take her there and have them give it to her. Classy.

5 worst ways

1. Over text, enough said.

2. Through Facebook chat. This may even be a close tie with texting, but it is a sure fire way to get rejected.

3. Using puns, such as putting Hershey Kisses on a girl’s doorstep and leaving a note that says, “Now that I’ve kissed the ground you walk on, please let me take you to Prom.”

4. Have a movie night with her and watch “Prom Night” and at the end, ask her.

5. Assuming. For those of you who are in a long term relationship, do not just assume that your girlfriend is going to go with you. Ask her.
