I’m asking a girl to go to prom using a valentine’s day card, should I say anything when I give her the card?
I just don’t know if the card and what I wrote in addition to what it had is enough or if i should maybe wait till she has read it and then repeat the question from the card. All advice, greatly appreciated.

Isn’t it a little early to ask someone to prom? If you really want to tell her on the V-day card, do it like a P.S. Say something like ….
Dear _________,
I hope you have a Happy Valentine’s Day!
From: (your name)
P.S. Would you like to be my prom date?

I would wait until she’s read the card and see if she responds. If not, ask her in person right then.

If you have already asked in the card, I suggest you don’t ask again.. it may make you sound a little pushy/desperate.. you don’t want that now do you.. just wait for her response.. good luck!

hehehe, why don’t you give her the card (when you’re older, you’ll always mail them, but i understand how things are in high school) and say “Happy Valentine’s Day!”
Her: “oh how sweet, thank you!”
You: “And I wanted to ask you something, do you have a date to the Prom?”
Her: “No, actually, I don’t…”
You: *smile* “Would you do me the honor of going with me?” (girls love that stuff, trust me)
Her: “Uh.. uh… *blush* sure!”
You: “Great! I can’t wait! I’ll get some arrangements made then” *big smile*
Her: speechless and charmed by you taking the initiative, handling the arrangments and making her feel so special.
If she says no, you can always graciously say “Alright, well, I hope you have a wonderful time! Perhaps I’ll see you there ” and go ask someone else.
If prom is not until late May, then wait until at least March to ask her, unless you think she’ll find a date this early.

Is the timing correct to ask a person to the prom Feb 14? Are other people already getting their dates to the prom?
I think if you are pretty sure that the girl likes you, and would say yes, and the prom is not very far away (1 to 2 months)…then go ahead and ask her in the valentines card. It’s cute. Put a big question mark? You have to give her a few days to answer your question. If she doesn’t answer your question in a couple of days then you have to talk to her about it. You must have an answer that is definitive and does not drag on. You have to have the opportunity to perhaps ask someone else.
On the other hand, if you are absolutely unsure about what her answer will be, and you guys rarely talk, and don’t hardly know eachother then I would not ask her to the prom in your valentine. I would ask her on a date (movies) and see if she would be interested in going to that with you first. If that goes well, then ask her to the prom.
Best of luck to you! It all sounds fun.

I suggest that you actually ask her and forget about the card. It will be harder initially, but you will get an answer or reaction immediately. What if she takes the card and doesn’t respond? What would you do then?
