Asking a girl to homecoming you don't really know.

[ElStud]

Well, I'm thinking about asking a girl out to homecoming and I wanted to know, is it alright to ask out a girl you don't really know? For instance, just going up to a girl and asking, “Hey you going to homecoming?” “No” “Cool, what time should I pick you up?”. I want to know what you guys think about this.

i did it for my senior homecoming, and that was back in my chump days! Whenever you ask a girl out, you need to get some level of rapport first. That can come from as little as one meeting, altho ideally I think 2-3 meetings are better. But like I said, I met a girl at a party the week before my senior homecoming and I phoned her up later and got the date...back in my AFC days.

For prom that same year, I got a girl that I had even less contact with.

Just do it!

umm, to answer your question a little more precisely,

Remember that you have about a 5% chance of a girl saying "yes" just by randomly going up to her and saying, "Hey, wanna f*ck?" (I haven't actually tried this, but that's what I hear...)

You dramatically increase your odds with just 5-10 minutes of convo, however, and if it's a shy/conservative girl then it might also help to meet with her once or twice more to fully maximize your chances.

If you don't really know her don't even bother. I've seen this happen a lot of times including to myself and trust me it never works.

I asked a girl I didn't really know that well to prom. She didn't go to my school, so her going with someone else was unlikely. I just called and left a voice mail (probably should have done it live though) asking her if she would want to go. She said sure.

Well if you don't know her, you got nothing to lose.

I say go for it, but build some rapport first. Concentrate on more than just getting her to laugh, try to get to know her as a person a bit instead of just as someone to tell jokes to.
