I want to ask a good friend to prom, but I would rather ask the old-fashioned way than the creative way, because I am a more personal type. I plan to ask her when we are bowling, because that is what we always do with our friends. However, I feel like if I ask her the old-fashioned way at bowling, she'd think to herself, "Why couldn't he ask me on the scoreboard or do something else creative?" I feel like she might think it's lazy for me to ask the old-fashioned way. I would say something personal, like, "There's been something I've been wanting to ask you for a while. Will you go to prom with me?" Do you girls think the old-fashioned way is a bad way to ask someone to prom and can't compare to a creative way? Or am I okay asking this way?
If most of her friends are getting prom proposals, I would ask her in a creative way.
My sons both went with friends, and they still had to go through the whole rigmarole of coming up with some surprising idea.
This is the tough part. This girl is in college, so a lot of friends her age won't be getting prom posals. However, since she is such a good friend, she is whom I want to bring.

You kids watch too much TV. Everything has to be dramatic or creative or super-romantic. If you want to be creative and old-fashioned at the same time, give her a card at bowling. Or buy her a milkshake with a little flag in it that pops the question. Or take her to a dessert place afterwards, and have a pre-ordered cake delivered to the table that says, "Will you go to Prom with me?"
But remember the guys who do a big dramatic marriage proposal in public, like in the middle of a crowded restaurant, only to get turned down in front of a roomful of strangers. The more you go out on a limb, the farther you have to go if you crash.
You're not asking her to marry you. It's just a school dance. Sheesh.

So wait ... You are in high school and she's in college?
I don't think there is anything wrong with the old fashioned way. After she accepts, say something like, "I thought you would appreciate being asked the old fashioned way." or "I thought a collegian would prefer an old fashioned invitation over a promposal.
Ok, I'm 56 years old. I'm somewhat old school but, here's an idea.
Go buy a nice corsage and secretly take it with you when you go bowling.
After you get to the alley, get your ball out of your bag, get your shoes on - get ready for the first frame, take the corsage out and walk up to her as if you were putting it on. She's going to ask, what are you doing and you're going to reply with, I'm seeing how beautiful you'll be when I pin a corsage on you the night I pick you up to take you to prom, if you'll go with me?
