Ambrose Posted December 22, 2006 Share Posted December 22, 2006 Alrighty, tomorrow I'm asking a girl out to winter formal. I don't need help getting the guts to do it, etc, I'm perfectly comfortable doing so. What I DO need help with is how to word my request. A little background on "the plan": We share a physics class. Every day our teacher has a physics quiz on the whiteboard, which is covered by the projector screen at the start of class. When it's time for the quiz, he pulls up the screen so we can see what the quiz is. I worked it all out with my teacher. Before class, I'm going to write my request on the board behind the screen as if it were a quiz. When he pulls the screen up, there's my little message, and whammo, I'm standing by her seat with a rose. So that's taken care of. Basic problem is, how should I word "Will you go to winter formal with me?" on the board? Maybe I'm just nitpicking over this detail because I pride myself in being a halfway decent writer, and "will you go to winter formal with me?" seems like quite a mouthful. Other things I've seen are, "Winter formal?", plain and simple, or similar things like "Winter formal with me?", etc. I don't know which one works best. So what should my little message on the board be? Creativity is encouraged, but let's be realistic here Thanks in advance for any replies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hayden Kered Posted December 22, 2006 Share Posted December 22, 2006 Well to keep it simple how about, <girl's name> Winter Formal? <your Name> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Det. Bart Lasiter Posted December 22, 2006 Share Posted December 22, 2006 Cool teacher. I'd suggest just the plain "will you go to the winter formal with me?", since you're writing it, I wouldn't worry about it being a mouthful Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SithRevan Posted December 22, 2006 Share Posted December 22, 2006 I like to keep it really simple even though I have never had to do this. What you need to say is this... Will you be my date to the winter formal? She will most likely accept if she likes you and if she doesn't... well... tough luck. Anyway good luck!

St. Jimmy Posted December 22, 2006 Share Posted December 22, 2006 I'd just go with, "Winter formal with me?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coupes. Posted December 22, 2006 Share Posted December 22, 2006 Why not simply do a flip, land on one knee in front of her with the rose between your teeth and your arms in the air ? See... no need to even say a word. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

See... no need to even say a word. And then give her a spit-coated rose? Jeez, try to be a little more classy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
St. Jimmy Posted December 22, 2006 Share Posted December 22, 2006 Correction: Blood coated rose. (unless you de-thorned it) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Samnmax221 Posted December 22, 2006 Share Posted December 22, 2006 Cool teacher. I'd suggest just the plain "will you go to the winter formal with me?", since you're writing it, I wouldn't worry about it being a mouthful Since when do you give dating advice, non Meme-filled dating advice that is? If it were me I'd just break her door down, throw her over my shoulder, and proceed to the dance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Emperor Devon Posted December 22, 2006 Share Posted December 22, 2006 If it were me I'd just break her door down, throw her over my shoulder, and proceed to the dance. That's being a looter and not a libertarian/Randist, is it not? I think "Will you go to winter formal with me?" sounds best, though. But I'd try and look at this from her perspective. If someone were to invite you to a dance over a whiteboard, what message would sound best to you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Samnmax221 Posted December 22, 2006 Share Posted December 22, 2006 That's being a looter and not a libertarian/Randist, is it not? Normally I can keep my hands off of things that belong to other people, including their person. But being 1/2 Norwegian, stealing women just comes naturally.

Rabish Bini Posted December 22, 2006 Share Posted December 22, 2006 Probably just stick with"Will you go to the Winter formal with me?" Or "Winter formal with me?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason Skywalker Posted December 22, 2006 Share Posted December 22, 2006 "<her name>, will you go with the me to the Winter Formal?" Here's my suggestion. Good luck stud. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diego Varen Posted December 22, 2006 Share Posted December 22, 2006 "<her name>, will you go with the me to the Winter Formal?" Here's my suggestion. Good luck stud. That must be one of the most obvious one to ask. Also, try not to look nervous. Act natural. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HerbieZ Posted December 22, 2006 Share Posted December 22, 2006 Let me stick my oar in. Graha no. Umm. I love your way, but whatever you think of initially, stick with it. Stick with it and be confident. That's all i can say. Kudos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grey Master Posted December 22, 2006 Share Posted December 22, 2006 Be confident and stick with the basics, but be cool if she says no to you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jae Onasi Posted December 22, 2006 Share Posted December 22, 2006 "<Name>, would you please go to the Winter Formal with me?" If I got just 'Winter Formal?' I'd be wondering why I wasn't even worth the time to write a complete sentence. And good luck with the plan. If she says yes, I suspect this will be a topic of discussion for some time around your school. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kitty Kitty Posted December 22, 2006 Share Posted December 22, 2006 :blinks: Seriously? Erm, ok then. My best advice is to stop asking on a gaming forum what you should say to a girl you want to ask out. 'Lines' and rehearsed garbage will sound like exactly what they are, superficial and fake. Just say what you feel and speak from the heart. If it doesn't work out, well... those are the breaks, but at least you'd have tried and been sincere. In any case, any girl who'd spend more time and effort worrying about the exact words you used rather than actually listening to what it was you were saying probably isn't worth spending the effort on in the first place... Not that I'm saying she *is* that sort of person, nor did you exactly ask me, but that's my two bits regardless. Good luck! -Kitt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
igyman Posted December 22, 2006 Share Posted December 22, 2006 Well, if you want something more from her than just a date for the Winter Formal (and from the way you're going to ask her it sounds like you do), then maybe you could go with something like: ''<Her name>, would you do me the honor of being my date for the Winter Formal? <your name>'' I think that it shows that you respect her, besides sounding romantic. Otherwise, go with what everyone else said: ''<Her name>, will you go to the Winter Formal with me? <your name>.'' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
milo Posted December 22, 2006 Share Posted December 22, 2006 You could go for some cheesy Utah line, like "there' snow other girl I'd rather go with to the dance." Get it? Get it? "snow other girl"... I'm so witty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
