So what if what you're doing is considered atypical? You should go for what you want instead of waiting around for the phone to ring. If you know who you want to go to prom with, then you should take the initiative and ask him. The worst that can happen is that he says no and you end up finding another date. The best that can happen is that you impress him with your creativity, your confidence, and just the fact that you're not like a lot of other girls. Be proud of yourself for asking and know that it's worth the risk. Many guys go through the same worries, and it's perfectly natural to be afraid that things may not go your way. Though a fun, wacky, crazy, or showy prom-posal can be a great way to snag a date, you have to think about where the guy is coming from, too. If he's a really shy guy who keeps to himself, he may not be into a huge prom-posal in front of half the school. This may actually embarrass him and make him feel bad if he doesn't want to go to prom with you. Doing something cute and private may be the better route to take, depending on the guy. When you decide how to make your decision, just make sure you're thinking as much about what you want to do as how he will react. Though there are no hard and fast rules about what not to do when you ask a guy to prom, there are a few things you should stay away from, if you have any doubts. Here are some things to think about: Ask around subtly, if you can. Make sure the guy hasn't been talking about asking another girl or doesn't have "a thing" with another girl before you ask him. If you do, this can make him feel bad. Don't have your friends ask him for you. Show that you're confident enough to do the asking yourself -- even if your friends help you with the process! Most of all, don't be down in the dumps if things don't turn out the way you planned them to. If you didn't take the initiative to ask the guy, then you would have been in the same place you'd be in if you asked and he said no. This way, you can be at peace with his answer and start your search for the perfect prom date anew.

Summary: Be proud of yourself for wanting to ask a guy to prom. Make sure to take the guy's preferences into account. Know what not to do.
