what a load of bolox that is.

There's no other way around OP you just have to ask her. when you do it you'll realise how easy it was and why were you making such a fuss :P

This.

But I do second the alcohol.. Next weekend I presume you both will be out so after a drink or 2 (not at the end of the night) just go up and ask her.. Obviously not in front of everybody but don't drag her away either!

Not that it matters of course

Ask her straight OP, good luck

In Cork, the lads call it the grads, and the girls call it the debs...haven't a clue why though:P

Around here where I'm from you can't say no (well you obviously can) but it'd be extremely rude and you'd have loads of people talking about ya! I've never heard of somebody saying no!

Well since you know her what I'm going to suggest wont work, but it's great for a laugh as myself and a few of the lads discovered.

Right, write your number on a piece of paper, fold it up, go up to the girl and say "Hey you drop this!" then you escape asap!
This one is good, especially when they text you!

Or, now, never done this, but, go up to girl with a notepad, ask her for a pen, write your number on the notepad, tear the page out, give it to her

No don't say "as friends".

Ask her "would you like to go to the Debs with me?".

Its better to make it plain and simple than to try and make her feel unpressurized. I've done this before and all it does is it comes across as trying too hard.

Relax and be yourself, thats what girls like in us lads the most.

I asked my grad date out by "wanna come to my grad, as friends like, no pressure!"
I'm ballsy, it was by text.


And i won't be surprised if he reads it, stop trawling the boards and study!

Suppose we're just so well mannered around here..! :P

Naw I think it's cause theres like 70 of us girls and about 70 in the guys school (in LCert) so we all know each other and stuff.. So you'd be saying no to your friend/classmate (even though ye're not in the same school) in a way.

My problem is I'm not going with anyone but would like to go with someone! I'm a lad also. There's a girl that i went out with for a small while but we broke up for no major reason at all and later on she went out with someone else! They've now broken up for about 3 weeks and she has no one to go to the debs with either (I think ).

Just wondering how should I go about asking her if she'd like to go with me? We get on really well by the way!

What you need is a car, a garage.... and a lightbulb.

:pac:

Why are some people calling the debs the grads?
Grads = graduation. That night out we had about 3 weeks ago.

Ask her OP, you wont feel anyway relieved until you do, either way.

had mine back in January. Glad to have done it then and to have it finished with now.

That was the Grad Mass.. August is our Grad..! Pffft..! lol...

Although I heard Debs are what girls have (coming from the old tradition of Debutante Balls) and boys have grads. I go to an all girls school and we have a grad..!

Most schools around here (neighboring towns) call them Grads, but then again they would mainly be mixed schools..!

We had a mass, but then we had a piss up at the night club :P
I've honestly never heard of it being called a Grad. :P
Down here it's Debs whether it's a girls, boys, or mixed school.

Anyway... Just ask her next time ye're together. If you guys get on well and she doesn't have a date I can't imagine why she'd say no. It's not a marriage proposal, there's not too many ways to go about asking her. :P It's not even a big deal. Just do it and you'll be relieved you did.

No's are as rare as good fake tans around here!

It's kind of a manners thing, I suppose.. I'd feel awfully rude saying no, its like saying "I can't bear to have a photograph taken with you or sit beside you for an hour long meal."



Aaaaaand... We call the graduation the Grad Mass, and the 'ball' the grad!

Ha I go to a city school and we call it the debs...it's a girls' school!:P The neighbouring girls' school calls it the debs too, and the two boys' schools call it the grads! My boyfriend's school was mixed, and the lads called it the grads, and the girls called it the debs!:P
