Would he say yes to homecoming?

Why not just ask? Be casual about it. Don’t act like it’s a life or death thing. If he says no, just say okay. If he says yes, then you have a date to homecoming.

Welcome to Fluther.

Damn, that’s some good advice there. I don’t think I can improve on it.

@chyna, would you go to homecoming with me?

^I thought you’d never ask.

The only way you’ll know if he will say yes to homecoming is if you as him.

In this day and age it’s just not that unusual for the girl to do the asking.

Just do it.

And Chyna’s advice is spot on about not making a bigger thing out of it than it is.

In your lifetime there will be plenty of future boys and future homecoming (or similar events). Get a head start now and learn to be direct about what you want. It’s good practice.

If you just sit around waiting for everybody else to do the asking, life can just pass you by. Be an active participant rather than just a hopeful observer.

Just ask him and see what happens. You might be pleasantly surprised.

I can’t see any reason why not.

Most boys, especially at that age, would be thrilled to have someone ask them instead of having to be the one to ask. So go for it, just like @chyna said.

You should ask him yourself. Sending your friend to do it is… lame.

I agree with @AshLeigh 100%. Google the sentence “Speak for yourself, John Alden,” and report back to us.

I also agree with @AshLeigh. A girl once sent her friend to ask if I would dance with her, but I thought it was a joke or a trick because she wasn’t asking herself. So I said no, the girl got upset, and we didn’t talk about it until eight years later.

Ask. That’s the only way to find out.

What @SavoirFaire said: Most boys, especially at that age, would be thrilled to have someone ask them instead of having to be the one to ask. is so true!

It is also true at any age.

How many people go through life lonely or dateless because they lack the nerve to chance getting a negative answer. Be the brave one. It will improve your life and the lives of many others.

@Bayjo98241 So how did it go? Did you ask him? We need an update.

I went to ask him and said will you and he cut me off and asked me to homecoming. Homecoming at my school is on October 11th, this coming saturday. I’m super excited and so is he.

That’s awesome! Have fun. :)
Thanks for updating us.

That’s terrific. Have fun.

Now we will want to know how the date went after you go. If you can, please inform us.

It was amazing we had lots of fun at the homecoming game and homecoming dance. We are dating now, thanks everybody.

Good for you !
