asking a girl to homecoming

Yes, to echo some smart, experienced and tasteful posters above: use
effort, creativity and thought...not money. Come to think of it, that advice will come in handy later in life, too.

Plus, Build-a-Bear not only weak, it is also a scam. Come on, man. Judging by your sig, you've got good taste.

I liked the custom direct mail piece. And the tennis ball thing.

What about buying a cool old wooden frame from Goodwill ($5 or so) or off 3bay or something? Engrave or inscribe a few words asking her to Homecoming on the SHAFT. Of the racquet. Maybe a handpicked flower (something that will look good later when it dries out) and some vines 'growing' out of the strings....presenting it to her right before tennis one afternoon. Something she might even put up on a wall in her room....if she is enough of a tennisgeek.

EDIT: I've got a cracked old Dunlop Maxply Fort if you want it.

She's not that enough of a tennis geek. I just got her a boquet of roses and went to her house. She said yes of course. I plan to ask her out Sunday if we play tennis or next time we go somewhere.

For Homecoming, yes, girls definitely don't ask the guy out, but does your school have "Sadie Hawkins" dances (i.e. dances where the girls pick the guy)? Before I dropped out of high school (two weeks into my freshman year),

...

(please check one below):
___ Yes, I'd would like to attend Homecoming with you
___ Yes, I'd would enjoy attending Homecoming with you
...

;)

Sorry, but I had to do it!

I'm going to get her some flowers and just go to her house and ask her. She's liked me for a while so I'll just ask her out at homecoming. Maybe I'll catch her in the right mood and we can go somewhere else.

good business!!! sounds clean and gutsy

One of my friends left class to go the bathroom, but he really went to another class where he interrupted the teacher and read a poem aloud. The girl said yes and gave him a hug (from what i've heard).

^^^urrr, You took idea,, did it work ?? did maria go with you to the homecoming ?? and where is the pics of you and maria ?
 
I'm a sophmore in HS and I'm asking this girl I like to homecoming. I know she likes me too so I was gonna ask her, but then I was informed that you have to make it "special" or something. So I was thinking about getting her a build a bear to ask her. For those who don't know, you go to the store, stuff the bear and name it and crap.. She plays tennis so I was gonna give it the tennis clothes and name it Ace. Only problem is this is 30 bucks, then I have to pay for dinner for 2 homecomings (we go to different schools), so this will be very expensive. Would it be better to buy her some roses and just ask her, or would this not be special enough? By the way, I know she's going to say yes so it's not a concern.

haha guaranteed she says yes if you get the build-a-bear thats pretty original. back in the day i just wrote "want to go to homecoming?" on a tennis ball and chucked it to random girls until one finally said yes ;)
