Its fairly common at my school for people to ask girls to homecoming in some sort of elaborate way like decorating their car or something like that.

Do you guys recommend doing something like that or just being straightforward and just saying it?

Holy crap, are you sure you're not actually playing out a set in an episode of "Happy Days?"

Alright, let's give this one a go:

"Hey, can I have your opinion on something? All these car signs and flower decos to ask girls to the dance seem to be played out . . .I mean, WOULD YOU get excited over car signs? Would that be a cool thing or would it embarrass you to death? Tell me, what do you think would be a cool way to pull one off?"

99% answer, "I dunno know" or "Well you have to be creative. You have to come up with one?"

So you go, "OK, OK . . . fair enough. Go to the dance with me and I promise I won't embarrass you with the same ol' crap. I'm going to SURPRISE you tomorrow." Offer your hand.

Then just show up with the same ol' crappy flower shit but wear a blue tie or something. "Did you like the blue tie variation?"

Dude, you're in school. . . that might possibly be lost in a worm hole . . . but still, have fun with it. No need to over think the whole thing.
