I would just ask her on the way out after bowling. You said you are going in a group? Maybe offer to walk her to her car or something and ask her. That way, if she does say no you don't have to have an awkward evening.

I didn't think promposals were a thing! I thought that was just on TV. I have only been out of high school 11 years! I went to senior prom when I was a junior. My neighbor who drove me home asked me to go with him as his friend. He was driving me home and right before we pulled in my driveway he said "Would you like to go to prom?" and I said yes.

I feel for boys nowadays. The pressure to be cutesy and original over a high school dance is completely stupid.

Same goes for marriage proposals, which I guess promposals spun off of. I don't think anything beats an intimate talk that includes an invitation.

If she's not your girlfriend and you don't want her to be, then there's really no reason not to keep things simple. Just ask her as a friend.

Sure. Ask her to go with you to buy snacks or, as another poster suggested, just walk her out to her car and ask her. Calling her and asking her would also work -- CALL, not text. :-)

It's the same with those jackasses that propose marriage at ball games via those big screens. There are YouTube clips all over the place that show those and some show the guy getting rejected.

Can you imagine how embarrassing that would be all around. Embarrassing for both parties.

IDK, I'm kind of a private and more reserved guy in real life and that shyt just isn't my style.

Ok, now I KNOW you are just punking us.

I'm sure you already know that those big production 'promposals' are always a step towards, and a cry for, 'intimacy', not a way to get a platonic friend to stay a platonic friend.

So you will be 20 years old by the time prom comes around and she will be 25? That sounds legit.

I think it would be a good bet to do it afterwards, but she doesn't take her own car to bowling. She comes with 2 other people since they live on the same street.
