In the Bag
"I secretly liked a guy friend and wanted to ask him to prom. I drew a prom picture of us on a bag and wrote 'Will you go to prom with me?' on it in glow-in-the-dark crayon. Inside I put directions for how to read the 'secret message,' and then I left it at his house. He called to say yes, and we had a ball at prom!"
—Jaime, 19, Imboden, AR
Happy Camper
"My best friend and I were camping with our boyfriends. Mine hadn't asked me to prom yet, so I planned to slip out of the tent that night when he was asleep and write a message on the dashboard of his car to ask him. But when I tried to crawl over his sleeping bag, I accidentally woke him up! I had no idea what to say. He looked at me, smiled, and said, 'Is this your idea of asking me to prom?' And that's how I 'asked' him!"
—Brittany, 17, Ontario, Canada
Office Help
"I wasn't into the whole prom idea, but I ended up asking my best guy friend to go with me. Then, two days before prom, he said he was taking another girl! So my mom got her gay work friend to take me. Even though he was 33, he was the best date there and the only guy who knew how to dance. He made it the best night ever for me — and all of my friends."
—Dana, 19, Miami, FL
Musical Dates
"I asked a guy to prom in an e-mail, but he never answered. I found out he was deciding between me and another girl! So I asked a close guy friend to go. Then my crush said yes! At first I wasn't sure what to do, but I went with my friend. He made my prom so fun. I'm glad I took him instead of Mr. Flip-Flop."
—Jackie, 18, Collbran, CO
Give Me a Sign
"This popular guy, Colin, was in my math class. I figured he had a prom date, but my friends convinced me to ask him. So one morning, I hung a banner about his locker that said, 'Colin and Alexis for Prom King and Queen!' He said I was insane — and that he'd love to be the king to my queen."
—Alexis, 18, Des Moines, IA
Buddy System
"I was unable to pin down a guy for prom, so I decided to take my best friend, a sophomore, instead. I just wanted to go out and have fun — and I did! I got to dance with a bunch of guys instead of staying with one date all night."
—Natasha, 19, Tuscon, AZ
