Boys click here: promposals to score you the best date this April
“It’s only February,” you might be thinking as opening this page. “Prom isn’t until April.” . . . Oh, buddy. ‘Tis high time to find yourself that perfect prom date. Surely you have had to be seeking out at least one special someone to have on your arm. Speaking from a girl’s’ perspective we highly appreciate at the very least a month in advance to prepare. Unless you’re looking to attend the dance stag, put your big boy pants on and ask her! But before you jump the gun, you need some ammunition. I’ve got the perfect promposal for any kind of girl you could have in mind. Take my tips, they’re surefire.
For The Foodie: You can never go wrong to a buy a girl food and come up with a clever saying. The nice catch is that they can’t turn you down because, hey, it’s food. I most definitely would not! And remember you can never go wrong with pizza.
For The Binge-Watcher: The cute gal you’ve had your eye on is always tied up in a new series whether it be Grey’s Anatomy, The Walking Dead, or One Tree Hill. Hit on their sweet spot by taking a line directly from their favorite show. They’ll probably be utterly surprised, but mostly by the attention you paid to their interests.
For The Country Bumpkin: She’s comfortable in camo, she jams out to Luke Bryan, and she talks with somewhat of a drawl. Boy, you’ve got yourself a Country Bumpkin right there. Get in touch with her “southern side.” Maybe recruit some buddies and quote George Strait. If she’s got a hobby, key into that. She’ll find it cute; trust me.
For The Sports Enthusiast: Even though they’re sporty, they’re still girls and every girl appreciates a little thought put into something that doesn’t have to require much effort. All you really need is the ball that goes to their favorite sport. a Sharpie marker, four letters, and the appropriate punctuation. Show up at their next game with a sign or invite them to pick up game of basketball and surprise them. Anything goes!
For The Hopeless Romantic: You’ll be able to tell if the girl you’re interested in being your plus one to prom is a Hopeless Romantic if you’ve caught her gawking over a Nicholas Sparks film or cooing over a #womancrushwednesday post. With this girl, the cheesier the better (and I hear I’m pretty corny myself so I’ve got you covered *insert winky face*). Flowers are a definite yes―go for it with this type of gal. Also, giant teddy bears work too.
By now you’ve surely come up with an idea for that special someone you’ve had your eye on. Just remember: you got this. (Extra confidence boost: I’ve never heard a “no” come back from one of my promposal ideas . . . just sayin.) Good luck and have a great time at prom!
