EditSteps

  1. 1
    When your at the dance, try not to ask him right when the dance starts! Try to wait maybe 15-20minutes into because he may be anxious as well, so you don't want to make him feel over-whelmed by it. About 15minutes into a dance, everyone calms down and starts to have fun!
  2. 2
    The night before, try to have a shower and cleanse yourself as much as you can! (But don't overdue it.) Try doing some of the following the night before or the morning before:-Brush your teeth- Have a shower- Put on light makeup (face powder, lip gloss (balm), etc.-Try something with your hair (ponytail, bun, curl, straighten) etc.-Wash your face - you can do that in the morning or night-Hand cream or perfume (don't overpower yourself with it)-Shave legs -IF you don't already do it, ask your parents in advance-Clothes -maybe go to the store a week before and get a cute outfit but don't spend to much but you can just wear what you have (mix and match I'm sure you'll find an outfit right from your own closet
  3. 3
    From the time leading up to when you want to ask him, don't stare at him and twirl your hair. That's the last thing you want to do. He may think your a love-sick puppy and guys don't like desperate girls. Try to look available to dance, but don't make it look like you are desperate. You can make occasional eye contact, but don't overpower it.
  4. 4
    If he doesn't ask you, that's fine! He may just be as nervous as you are. But if you were planning on asking him, not asking you, then so far so good!  Guys are actually more afraid of dances then girls are. So don't feel stressed, or freaked out. Getting nervous before dances are completely normal. Especially if it's your first one. Even if it's your 2 or even 3rd time, it still can be nerve-racking. Don't stress, or freak out! Dances are fun even if you don't ask a boy. Hang around with your friends and enjoy!
  5. 5
    When you ask him, just walk up to him casually! If he's sitting down, he might see you coming, so it may feel less awkward. Either or, just talk to start! Talk about the setting of the dance eg (cool lights, good DJ etc) Staring off by talking about the dance can be a good way to lead into the dancing part. If a slow song is already on while you are talking, you may just want to wait out with him till the next one, that way you can have 2min-4min dance together. And you have a 50-50 chance of him even asking U first! When a new slow song starts, just say it! "Do you want to dance with me?" It's as easy as that only 7 words and your done!
  6. 6
    If he says yes good job! You got the courage to ask him! And you will feel very good about asking as well, even if he says no. If he says no, don't worry! He may just be to nervous to say yes and dance. But that's no reason to start spreading rumours about him or hating on him! Just remain friends if you already are. He also may not have been ready.
  7. 7
    If he says yes, go out and find a place to dance together! Wether it's a corner, or out in the close middle, it's still a dance! He might just feel better being in the corner where you can talk while dancing or just even having privacy. Shyer guys may do this or maybe for the above reasons. (want to talk while dancing, privacy.) If inside your head, when you start slow dancing, having a mini freak out, start talking if you haven't already! It will make you feel more comfortable about the situation, even though there's nothing to worry about! You may feel so happy, but at the same time, scared out of your mind! (I know I was!) But think about it, what are you afraid of?
  8. 8
    After the song, when it ends you just want to thank him. Tell him that you enjoyed dancing with him, and even end with a hug! Once your done, go back to wherever you were. Tell your friends about it! If it's a guy you like that may ask you, awesome! He just may like you back! But don't always assume that right away. Get to know him a bit more! (If you already don't.) Overall, don't be stressed or freaked out! No matter how many days you read these steps, I think this will help! Good lucky and have fun! Asking him will feel good! And if you get a rejection, don't give up! There's more than just 1 guy in the other class or even yours! You will have fun at the dance you have no matter what! Enjoy your dance and have fun!:)
