Asking a girl to homecoming

Post Reply New Topic

So, I'll start off with saying that another guy had this unique idea of asking a girl to homecoming; writing the question on a baseball and giving it to her. I figured that since I have lots of baseballs here at home, I would do that myself. What would be a good thing to write on there to ask a girl to homecoming?

His username looks like something from a U.S. baseball team name.

Maybe they're both interested in it?

If so, you can do that OP but don't leave, wait for her to answer.

Try to do give her the ball in an endearing or subtle way.

For example, if she is a very playful person, when you next see her and she says hi, from a small distance of a few meters (or 'feet') you could say 'think fast' and throw the ball to her (at a slow speed and carefully, of course, and try to throw it so she'd be very likely to catch it with her hands).

And once she catches it, don't act like you've written anything on the ball.

If she sees and reads it, and asks about what's written on it, you could say:

"It says what? Let me see".

And then once she shows you, you could look at the writing curiously.

"Hmmm...that's interesting. (look to her) So, how about it? (make a cheeky smile)"

This would only work best if:

1. She is interested in it too.

or

2. She knows you decently well and you're known to her as a big fan of baseball.

And what do you write on the ball?

Well, how about:

"Will you go to the homecoming BALL with me?"

It depends on how well he knows her, and how well he pulls it off.

Something like this takes a lot of confidence.

It's not that bad; it's creative and confident.

It's taking a big risk yet approaching it in a light-hearted way.

If she rejects him, he's got to place it off cool, like it doesn't phase him too much, even if it does.

Since OP has Aspergers, however, I expect he probably wouldn't be able to pull-it-off, I know I'd probably do half as good as the way I described it, but I'm decently confident enough to not screw it up completely.

Besides, my laidback and goofy personality when interacting with others would simply help reinforce the idea that, yep, this is something only I would do to ask a girl out. The whole "that's typical Outrider for ya (light-hearted laughter/amusement)" thing.

This is something that can either go spectacularly good or horribly wrong.

I think if this is the kind of guy OP is, the kind of guy that would think of and do this idea, then it's better he put a bit of his individuality in the asking out rather than just the generic old 'Would you like to get a coffee' B.S.

Why don't you just ask her?

I would forget the baseball idea.

There are girls who really don't want to handle baseballs; they think they're dirty. And she might not have enough room in her handbag/knapsack for this baseball, which she must lug when you give it to her.

Instead, I would give her a nice card asking her to the Homecoming.
