if i was the chick, id think it was pretty lame
who wants to listen to someone else's favorite music?
all my girlfriend likes is country, if she made me a country mix tape, it would pass through my hands into the trash
buy her flowers
Yeah, our Homecoming is the 20 of October. I'm surprised I'm even going... with someone else let alone. It's rather weird actually, I'm a freshman and a college girl from work wanted to go with me. I am still stunned that I'm going with an 18 year old college chick, and I'm only 16.
I'll be getting her flowers and a corsage, WITHOUT a mixtape, 'cause that's how I roll.
EDIT: Our Homecoming is "Mardi Gras." So I do not have a clue what to wear, just beads?

You never get anyone anything when asking them out cause it makes them feel weird and it makes you seem like you obsess to much. Just a phone call would work. BTW go with my earlier advice and go single and if you end up "dancing" with her all night then ask her out the next week or something trust me. BTW again you being a frosh listen to upperclassmen that are currently in high school. And as a freshman I did a lot of growing and frosh tend to be a little too "emotional" if you know what I mean
yeah i missed that, you defiantly dont want to get her anything when asking her out, if you do ask her out, you might consider bringing her a single red rose when picking her up for prom, girls always like that
the problem with not asking her, is, that if someone else asks her, you're not going to be dancing with her, so i say go for it

Yeah, I think the mix tape is out. Even though we have the same taste in music, I don't want to make it look like I made a big deal out of it.
I'm just going to ask her in person tomorrow.

See, I always make mix cds for girls, either because we just started dating or because I want to date them. For girls I am dating I usually use songs that might remind me of them, or some favorites through the years of mine that I think they might like. I think a well done mix cd can be cool. The old tapes were fun because you could write out the songs and personalize the inserts and stuff. I have a lightscribe external drive and I find that personalizing the label with something makes the cd seem extra special.
But, keep in mind that I am a) in my late twenties, so mix tapes were a big part of my high school and college experience, and b) I tend to veer towards indie/punk rock music and circles, where mix cds are pretty common ways to exchange interesting music.
So, OP, I think if you approach the cd a certain way it could work. Find songs that sound like her in some way (strong women, whatever) and play it up as you were making playlists and thought she'd like it. Go for it.

"Now, the making of a good compilation tape is a very subtle art. Many do's and don'ts. First of all you're using someone else's poetry to express how you feel. This is a delicate thing. "
"[last lines]
Rob: The making of a great compilation tape, like breaking up, is hard to do and takes ages longer than it might seem. You gotta kick off with a killer, to grab attention. Then you got to take it up a notch, but you don't wanna blow your wad, so then you got to cool it off a notch. There are a lot of rules. Anyway... I've started to make a tape... in my head... for Laura. Full of stuff she likes. Full of stuff that make her happy. For the first time I can sort of see how that is done. "
I am also a freshman...i just asked the girl of my dreams today and she said.....YES!!!

WOOOHOOOO!!!!!
i am very happy!!!
WOOOHOOOO!!!!!

That's motivating.
I just wonder if I waited too long. The dance is Saturday. I needed time to clear it with my parents.
make sure you post and let us know what happens.
im in the same dilemma, kinda sorta. theres this one girl, beautiful, she seems cool. but idk and havent talked to her. shes a senior, im a sophomore (dont know if that matters to her). all my friends tell me to talk to her but i dont want it to be awkward by going up to her and just start randomly talking to her when she doesnt even know me.
what to do?
Well, I would definitely talk to her. Have you ever talked to her before?
Oh, and about this girl I'm going to ask. I think I'm going to get a yes because for some reason, any guy from any of the deveolping cliques will tell me that she's super freaky and out there. I don't know why. She's a cool girl to me at least. There are also rumors of her being a lesbian, but I highly doubt them. I don't think she's planning on going with anybody.
thats the problem, i havent. ive never gone up to someone idk and just start talking to her. i always get to know them before. at my school we have a dance group called the red jackets (shes apart of them) and im in drumline, in the past yrs drumline and rj's always get together and get along and whatnot. this year we really havent done anything yet. this friday is homecoming and im seriously thinking about going up to her and introducing myself (which ive never done) i guess i will have to wait and see
true, i guess i will have to go up and talk to her soon before homecoming. if i remember ill post an update, if anything happens.
Dude quit second guessing yourself and just ask her out. You don't need to think of things to give her and what not. Just ask her and get it over with.
Take it from someone who was scared to ask someone out when they were in high school. I found out years later if I would have asked they would have gone out. If you don't ask her you will always ask yourself what if...and also kick yourself!
Don't be scared of rejection. If you do get rejected move on to the next girl that may appreciate you.

Trust me, I can also speak from experience about worried about the non-existent rejection from someone. The reason why I was stalling was because
1) I was bouncing back and forth between going.
2) I needed clearance from my parents. (Anything with a slight romantic accent in my family means you're marrying the person and Aunt Sally's going to call you to tell you that she's a bad person to associate with without meeting her.)
3) I wanted to make sure she wasn't already going with someone.
Dude, if she is a lesbian you can be her beard! (I am mostly joking).
Aunt Sally sounds like a tough audience. Maybe you should hold off on introducing them.
God this is stupid.
How can my school have Homecoming when we have no football team. There is no theme. No one really wants to go to this thing.
The soccer team is substituting the football team lol.
I don't think the planners know what they are doing. Most kids in my town either kinda know the rules of football or don't at all.

Mostly joking? Um, alright.
What I mean is that I MUST tell me parents, who embelish it and pass it down the family assembly of gossip.
Heaven said:So any updates? This is is getting interesting..
Yeah, I was planning on asking her after my third period class right before lunch, but then some other weird girl from that class tagged along, so I had to ask her after school. She said yes, but she's already going with a group, so, no. I guess I would've gotten a plain yes if I didn't have to wait for the clearance from my parents or if I actually grew a pair.
Though I don't feel rejected at all.
