the_rev Posted September 27, 2004 Share Posted September 27, 2004 Hey everyone, I am asking a girl to homecoming. Not here on PM, but in real life. Tell me how this note sounds asking her. Now I'm a sophomore and she's a freshman, the only class we have together is band, and were to busy getting ready for homecoming! Tell me how this note sounds: Dear Amanda, Well, it was nice talking to you after school yesterday! I asked you if you were going to Homecoming. I really asked you that, because I like you. I would like to get to you know you better. Basically I just want to ask you if you would like to go with me. You know yesterday how you had difficulty getting picked up? Well, same happened with me, when I wanted to go home. I called the person who usually gives me a ride home, they said that they had no car. So I called home, my grandmother answered, and she said that my mom wasn’t home, that she went to the store. Now my grandma had surgery yesterday, so she really wasn’t completely aware of what was going on! Anyways, I tried calling back at my house, and my grandmother forgot to hang the phone up. So I ended up walking the two miles to my house! I was so disgusted. Anyways I gotta get going. See you in Band! Eddie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thy Geekdom Come Posted September 27, 2004 Share Posted September 27, 2004 I think you should wait for a girl to give you advice on this one, but did you know that [i]Amanda[/i] is a gerundive (future passive participle) in Latin, meaning [i]going to be (or must be) loved[/i]? Use it wisely... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Aluigi Posted September 27, 2004 Share Posted September 27, 2004 why not ask her in person? i know that can be more nerveracking or something, but it's prolly better imho Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
disturbedxfairy Posted September 27, 2004 Share Posted September 27, 2004 the note isn't bad, but i wouldn't write the last paragraph about your grandma. good luck. **kisses** Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
picchick Posted September 27, 2004 Share Posted September 27, 2004 Awesome note!!! As a girl I would like it. The only thing is that I would talk to her in person. Getting a note is great and all but asking in person is so much better in my book. It is so cool when a guy walks up to you and talks to you and then says, "hey, I really like you. You have a great personality, smile, (whatever you like about her). I was wondering if you would like to go to the dance with me." It really has never happened to me. But I hated when everyone used word of mouth. Also when I wanted to tell a guy that I liked him I considered writing a letter. My friends told me not to and that the best thing was to say it to their face because a letter kinda shows your afraid to talk to them. Me? I am always afraid and I almost collapsed when I told the kid that I liked him. But it was worth it. hope this helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrs. Bro.

The note is really a cop-out, sorry to say it, but it is. The girl, (I know if it were me) will wonder if you really want to ask her, why you don't do it in person? It's more convincing that way. Show courage, ask her via your mouth, not paper and pen/pencil. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] You know, it makes it easier on the guy to read a note, but it really is better if done in person, especially so that the girl can get immediate feedback from his behavior, body language, expression, etc. That makes it much better and it doesn't allow the guy to think up a strategy. I think if a girl expressed these types of feelings to me...let's see... 1. My ears would turn red and feel hot. 2. My cheeks would turn red. 3. I would look at my feet and glance up with my eyes only every once and a while, while trying to force back a grin and try not to look too flattered, lol. I don't know if all men act like this, though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] I've seen many people do it. You just go to screw around...social dancing. I've done it. It's sort of somewhere between dancing with a girl you love at a prom and dancing with your mother at a wedding, lol...somewhat close, but somewhat detached.

WillT Posted September 28, 2004 Share Posted September 28, 2004 Another good idea is to write her a note saying that you would like to talk to her after school or something, and then ask her when you meet up. It worked for me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
