Volleyball Homecoming Proposal (2024)

FAQs

How do you propose for homecoming? ›

In high school nowadays, when it gets close to homecoming or prom, instead of just asking someone to go to the dance with you, you are pretty much expected to make a grand gesture. A proposal. But, not just any proposal. Oftentimes it involves a giant sign, food, flowers, and other people.

Simply put, don't be afraid to ask someone to the homecoming dance. There's no pressure to go with someone, and absolutely nothing wrong with going alone. But, if you do have someone in mind, don't allow any fears or self-doubt to get the better of you.

Dates are overrated and purely optional for homecoming. Have your teen grab a group of friends and go to the dance! This can be more fun anyway. They wouldn't be tied down to any one person; they can mingle with other people at the dance, or just hang out with their friends all night.

Community Q&A. Is it stupid for a girl to ask a guy to homecoming? No, it's not stupid at all! In fact, many guys would be very attracted to the idea of a girl making the first move.

Homecoming may seem to be the event of the year, but for others, this huge event in high school is just like an ordinary day. But truly, the people that aren't going aren't cliched characters from a John Hughes movie that are completely anti-dance.

Saying something like, “It was really sweet of you to ask me, but I'm not interested in going to prom with you. You're a great person, and I'd love to stay friends” lets them know you are still happy they asked, but can't accept their offer. It cuts through some of the sting and awkwardness of a rejection.

Is it OK to not do a promposal? ›

Not everyone wants a display of affection in front of their peers, family, or coworkers, and not everyone reads social cues that hint at uncomfortability. Prom doesn't need to be some romantic gesture when going with friends or alone is perfectly acceptable.

Although prom in its precise definition is short for promenade dance—a formal dance party for high school students held toward the end of the school year—there are several other activities that typically take place on prom night, including group photo sessions, dinners and afterparties.

Dates can ruin the whole point of Homecoming. Homecoming is all about dancing with the people who make you feel comfortable to dance with and sometimes people are only comfortable doing that with their closest friends. Having a date can also be awkward before the actual dance.

Organise a date night in advance. In fact, have a series of date nights so that by the time you propose, you will completely take her by surprise. Go revisit a few of the places that have sentimental meaning to your relationship. Tell her how much she means to you (read: how much you love her) and pop the question.

Basically, the idea of a Sadie Hawkins dance is that the girls ask their desired date to the dance, as opposed to the men (in their conventional gender role) inviting their dates. While in the 1950s this may have been a big deal, now, girls ask their crushes to dances ALL the time and, seriously, it's NBD.
