Alright, so a bit of background info. My highschool prom is quickly approaching, and I've been meaning to ask out this girl I really like out. We get along great, and I have no problem talking to her. She's a really nice girl. The only problem I DO have still is actually asking her to be my date.

Well I think I may have made a huge mistake. I guess she was tired of waiting, so she already bought her ticket, and reserved her seat with a few of her friends. I just feel terrible for waiting so long, all of her friends have dates, and she doesn't. I'm sure if I had asked, she would have said yes. It's just so difficult.

There still is a week, though, for me to buy my ticket (and a month until the actual event). Even though her table is full, the arrangements aren't set in stone yet. The problem is, I've tried many many times asking in person, but I honestly can't do it. I feel like apologizing for leaving her without a date, this honestly makes me feel terrible. I can only imagine how she must feel being the only one of her friends to not be asked out by a guy. Do you guys think I should still try asking her? If so, how could I do it?

Hey man!

Isn't being in that position just awesome!?!? *sarcasm*
I still think you should ask her bro or you will regret it for many
weeks to come. I have two suggestions.

1: Just bring up in conversation the prom and ask her if she has
got a date yet. When she says she doesn't, let her know you
don't either. Then suggest that you both go together. Easy as pi.

2: If you STILL don't feel comfortable doing so, write her a note
asking her to go with you. If you pass it to her while in class you'll
have a reason for not talking to her in person

All the best man! My thoughts will be with you !

When I do it, should I mention something about the whole seating situation?

Number 1 priority is actually being her date. If that goes all to plan,
then ask her about the seating arrangement. And see work your way
around it. I don't know how your school arranges such etc etc. So
you'll just have to take it as it comes

You must must ask! Shes waiting... For you'
May be hard, but she wants a guy with courage'
You should try & ask in person'

First, what's with the nick? Internal organ? And why that one?

Anyways, take a deep breath here, get over yourself, and just ask her. There's no magic answer here, just do it. She likes you, you like her, and it sounds like there's no risk, so whatever holds you back isn't real.

"Hey, I know it's late, but I'm more cowardly than I should be, will you go to the prom with me?". That bit of humor goes a long way, too...

Coming from a girl, I think it's a bit sexist to just assume she even wanted a date or was waiting for someone to ask her out. I went to prom with just my friends and I was glad I wasn't stuck with a date there, I felt like I could have more fun and then leave whenever I wanted.

So what if you don't take her as a date. It's not like you can't socialize with her while there and even dance with her?
