Sweet Ways to Ask Your Date to Prom

Prom season is here and if you haven't got a date yet, don't worry. We'll help you get there! It can be really hard to ask someone to the prom. There's that fear of getting turned down, the stress of getting the courage up to even ask to begin with, the chance that he or she will say "yes"...wow, it's no wonder that most teens put this off until the last minute!

Here are some sweet - and true! - stories about how some teens asked their date to prom:

- One boy, with the help of his grandfather, built a wooden sign that he painted the word "Prom?" on. Then, he took a girl for a canoe ride at a local pond. As they approached a part of the lake, the boy's friends came out in another canoe, holding the prom sign. Then, he popped the prom question. She said, "Yes!"

- Another boy wrote a song that concluded with the question, "Will you go to prom with me?" and he sang it to his date in one of her classes while a friend played along on the guitar. She started to cry at the thoughtful song - and of course, went to prom with the boy.

- One girl came to a boy's baseball game and stood in the stands with a large sign asking, "_____, will you go to prom with me?" Then, she had the announcer ask the boy over the loudspeaker when he came up to bat. He said, "Sure!"

- Another girl went to the pet store and bought a gold fish. Then, she put the fish in a bowl and attached on a ribbon and tag that said, "You're the only fish in the sea for me, please be my date to the prom?". She took the fish to the boy's house, rang the doorbell, and surprised him with the pet! He was very surprised - and happy to go to the prom with the girl.
