As October 13 approaches quickly, creativity and love is in the air. As a tradition, boys ask the girls to Homecoming. Whether this is in front of all her friends, with flowers, writing on her driveway, or simply just asking, the number of ways a guy can ask a girl to Homecoming is endless.
“My boyfriend sent me an office note, sending me to the theater. He was on the stage with the spot lights on him, playing the piano and singing our song, Perfect Two. And then he handed me a rose after the song and then asked me to Homecoming. He also had made pamphlets that were supposed to be recital programs, but instead they had our names and our story on it,” Senior Kaitie Wallace said.
Some guys may not feel comfortable making a big scene in order to ask a girl to homecoming by belting a romantic love song, there are other ways to ask a girl in a more subtle way.
“Zac Kernell and a bunch of his friends showed up at my house in the middle of the night. They left a trail of lit candles from my driveway all the way down the street. I walked down the street when one of his friends (Josh Crawford) was standing in the street telling me I was getting closer. I continued walking down the street when another one of his friend (Alex Trinidad) told me I was getting even warmer. As I got closer to the end of the candle trail, Zac was standing there with white roses in his hands and asked me to go to Homecoming with him,” Junior Emily Rhew said.
Complex and elaborate planning are necessary for proposals like these. The simplest way to ask a girl to Homecoming is simply walking up to her and asking.
“When I was in high school, boys just walked up to girls and simply asked, do you want to go to Homecoming with me? To which a girl would typically respond, yes. It was that simple,” Social Studies teacher Lindsey Plaster said.
In the end, however a guy asks, the question is still special. No matter how many hours are spent planning, vocal lessons are taken, or how much money is spent, the same question still lingers in the air; will you go to Homecoming with me?
