Here are some great ideas from previous years on how to ask a guy to a dance. Each school has it's own name: Sadies, Tolo, Sweethearts, Morp, etc. but usually the girl is supposed to ask and pay for everything. Over the years, the ways to ask have gotten more and more elaborate. Post your own ideas below but be sure that they are not too expensive, complicated, messy or dangerous.

Fun Ways To Ask

Here are a couple of ways to ask to a dance that are fun!
  • "It would be 'cool' if you would 'dew' me the favor of going to _______ dance with me" and get a styrofoam cooler and fill it with ice and mountain dew with the letters of your name on the bottom of the cans.
  • "Don't be a dumb-dumb, be a smartee and go to ______ dance with me" That ones self explanatory!
  • "I'm spreading good news, I'm asking you to ______ dance!" Then get news paper and spread it around his room and you can write your name on one of them or make it really hard and circle letters in your name on different sheets of news paper.
  • For a halloween dance you could say "Out of all the pumpkins in the patch will you go with me to Monster Mash" and then cut a little slit in the top of the pumpkin and write the letters of you name on pennies and put them through the slit and leave it on the porch.
  • If the guy you are asking is a sports freak you could do something like this (baseball example) "Mitt $25, balls $50, bat $150, ticket with your friend _____ to ______ dance... PRICELESS" and then get a little kids mitt, some plastic balls and a plastic bat. And the prices aren't real for the items but the whole thing is a joke so make the prices realistic. And then make some fake tickets and leave them on the porch in a bucket or something.

By Nicole

A friend did this once. First buy a bucket like one you'd make a sandcastle with, then buy a little treasure box. Inside of the box. write "Sadies?" and put it at the bottom of the bucket. Fill with jelly beans or another candy, and put a note on the outside that says "dig for a treasure", and you can have a little spoon or shovel for them to find it with!

By Paige

All right, a few ideas:
  • Put fortune cookies in the microwave a few seconds. Take them out, take out the old fortunes, then put in new ones with "Tolo/Sadies/go with me?" Heat them back up, then close them up
  • Make a puzzle that he'll have to put together
  • Scavenger Hunt: cute poems: so much fun. It's fun to do it with a friend and their date too, especially if they're friends
  • Put a boulder and a small pebble on his doorstep. Leave a sign "if yes, return the pebble. If no, the boulder."

I just asked a guy to Morp today and it was pretty funny. First of all, I got a stick of butter and taped a piece of paper with his name on it to the stick of butter. I had his first period teacher give it to him. Next I got a poster board and wrote "Now that I've got you all "buttered-up" I thought I'd "POP" the question and ask you to Morp!"

For where the word POP goes, you get a thing of microwave popcorn, carefully take the popcorn bag out of the plastic bag and write your name on a fold so that he'll have to pop the popcorn bag to find out who is asking him to the dance. You put the popcorn bag back into the plastic bag and carefully tape it closed, tape it to the poster board and get a piece of paper and write "POP" on it. It's really cute. I've had my date laughing all day!

By Anon

Ok so I asked my boyfriend this way and it was so adorable! I went up to him one day and punched him and he said, "What was that for?" and I said, "Will you go to Morp with me, if you don't I'll punch you again."

He said yes. After 7 years together we are finally engaged!! He proposed last night in an equally cute way! It really works! Trust me!

Slip Him A Note

Hey, you can always try slipping a note in his locker and maybe putting your locker number on it so he can discretely drop a reply in your locker. If you've got any classes with him, you might try discretely slipping him a note or catching him after class. If you know what his last class of the day is (even if it's not yours), you might "just happen" to be around when he gets out. If he's with friends, ask him if you can talk to him for a second and walk away slightly (with him in tow, of course!) and ask him. Most guys like it when you're straightforward. Ask him first if he's thinking about going to the dance. Then ask him if he's asked anybody. If not, then ask him if he'd like to go with you. If he says he's already going with someone, ask him if he has any friends, or knows anyone, who doesn't have a date. That might save some face in the situation. Good Luck!

Keep It Simple

I think sometimes it's just best to stay simple. Just ask him.

By Guest

Although most of the ideas I've seen here are incredibly adorable, and very sweet (though some are a bit odd), I have to say, that I think the best way would be to just ask the person face to face. Make it clear that you're not fooling around, and that you really would like to go with them.

My school is holding a Sadie Hawkins Dance for the very first time (since I've been in the high school anyway). I would like to ask this boy I have a crush on, and originally came here to search for an idea. But I have come to the conclusion that since both he and I are extremely quiet and shy, the best way would be to just try talking to the person in a regular conversation. Then, almost as though you were suddenly remembering it, ask if they'd heard about the Sadies Dance being held. When they ask why, you can ask if they'd like to go with you. That's my plan anyway. The problem is, I still have to work up the courage to actually talk to him first >.<

By Laterose

There is a dance at my school on November 11th and I didn't know anything about how to ask a guy or in a cute way so I asked this guy named Jesse. We are really close friends. He said yes but the only problem is that i had no idea you were supposed to ask them in a cute way so now i feel like a complete idiot! Anyone know what I should do or something that would help me to make me feel at least better or feel like I asked him the way I was supposed to?

Editor's Note: This seems to be a more recent fad, to ask in a cute way. We used to just ask. Your date said "yes" so I really wouldn't worry about it. I'm sure some guys would prefer to just be asked without the fanfare.

A Guy's Point Of View

Well. I'm a guy. For me, I don't really think it matters HOW you ask a guy.

Like, there's this girl, and she likes me. I think.. o_0 Anyways she just asked me and that's all that matters. In fact, if she asked me in a fancy way, I'd think it was pointless and a waste of time.

Eternally Unforgettable

I am a rather shy and quiet girl, so asking a guy to Sadies was a stretch for me, but ended up being the most rewarding experience.

I knew this boy who I had met several times before. He was undoubtedly the most handsome creature I had ever met. I knew him through my good friend, who also happened to be his cousin. I wanted to ask someone that I knew, but was not incredibly "love struck" by (to avoid awkwardness). So, as you can guess, I chose to ask him.

I needed an idea that was creative, simple, unromantic, and... unforgettable. This was how I accomplished that goal:

  1. I purchased a stuffed animal frog.
  2. I made a crown out of construction paper that said: "Sadies?" and attached it to the frog.
  3. I made a pop-up card out of magazines, pipe cleaners, and lots of elmers glue.
  4. THE MOST IMPORTANT PART: inside the card I made a frog that popped up that said (the key note): "Of all the froggies in the lake...YOU are the prince I want to take"

The execution:

I simply gave him the card and frog after a day at the beach of playing volleyball, boogie-boarding, and lots of laughs and jokes. It was great since you can simply do this in any way you want, especially for the shy and innocent girls, as I was.

Where did it go?

He said yes of course! Sadies was a complete and utter blast. Went to a baseball game, played vball, and then had a bon fire at the beach where we roasted marshmallows and hersheys chocolate bars. :)

I didn't see him much after that, until summer rolled round.

We hung out as friends again, it was simple and fun. We started dating one year later. After 16 months of dating, I asked him what he thought about me asking him to Sadies. He simply laughed and said it was the best way I could have asked him.

One month later, we both came home for spring break from college. We spent the weekend with his family, cooking dinner for a movie night. I left my sweatshirt in his room. When I was leaving the room, I noticed the frog I gave him for Sadies by his computer. It still had the crown on (Sadies was a little faded)

It's been 7 years to date when I last asked him to that Sadies so long ago. We are now engaged, and he still has that frog.

I asked a guy, he had a truck and so I had first hour with him and the teacher gave him a Big pink rubber duck and it had a note keep this with you for your next clue so second hour he brought it and it was blue paper and saran wrap then third hour a toy truck. So when he went to his truck the bed of his truck had blue paper in it with saran wrap on it to look like waves and rubber ducks all in it and said on the back window "out of all the duckies in the lake your the one I want to take to ____" and the bottom of a duck had my name on it! He said yes and we had a great time!

I say at first get to know him because you don't want to end up asking a guy you don't know and find out he has a girlfriend and get hurt, so find out info.

say
" Hey so I see you play football, you seem to be pretty good at it. You should go pro."
It could help that would be a great conversation starter. For me I asked a football player. Change it how you want to start it of.

So me and my boyfriend have been dating for two years and we go to different schools so we are going to both of our proms Well, we both know that we are going with each other but I thought it would be cute to ask him in a way he will never forget.

My school has a day coming up that we are off, so I am going to drive to his school and leave him something in all his classes.

I know all of his favorite things so I was just going to leave something with a note saying like:

will
you
go to
prom with me..

Is this cute or no??

I don't know if he is going to like it...feedback please =[

i got an empty Rockstar energy drink and then put inside a piece of paper that was long enough so part of the note went over the top so that he could pull it out. The paper said "you'd be a Rockstar (Rockstar written as the logo with the star as an A) if you went with me to Sadie's." and i'm giving it to a guy who's my friend tomorrow so wish me luck!(

I have so many cute ideas! You get the crush drink. You can find it at wal-mart and just say I would be crushed if you said no will you go to the dance with me?

I have also have done this one. I got a ton of things that are PINK. I got like random things any thing I found pink i got I put it all over his room and said I would be tickled pink to go to the dance with you! Super cute!

Here is one more get stars and put star bright star light hoping to see you with me ___ night!!

My boyfriend just asked me to our senior prom and we have been on and off for two years almost and we just got in a big fight and stopped talking so he put pictures from our past all over my room and had a poster that said remember when.. then next to each picture said remember when we made my mom a cake and there was a picture of the cake and he said remember when we took our fist picture and he had a our first picture and he just went on with all these pictures in the past two years and then the last picture was us from a previous dance and it was from behind and we were holding hands and it said remember when life was perfect then there was another poster that said lets make prom perfect!

Then there was a CD with our songs playing It was so cute. Now I have to do something just as cute to answer if you have an idea let me know please!

My friend was asking this guy to pref. dance last year and we took three boxes and put tissue paper in them with tons of candy and stuff like that in it. then we had them taped so that it was like impossible for him to open them and then at the bottom of the last box we cut out a piece of paper that was the size of the box inside and we wrote will you go to pref with me and taped the paper over it and then we made a little postit note with a string attached to it and put it on his front step and had him follow the string to the box and there was a note on the box that said open in your driveway and we watched him open it and when he got to the bottom and lifted up the paper they were like all confused and we all jumped out of the bushes and she was like will you go to pred with me. he got a kick out of it, so did his whole family. :-)

I asked this guy to Morp by first finding out which classes he has. Then go to the teachers and ask them if they will help. Once you got them on your side, you figure out his favorite drink, or candy, I just used the drink. Then you write one word on each can, like will then the second can, you, and the third go...you get the idea, and then on the bottom of the can write down a letter from your name, try to do it in order so it's not so confusing, have each teacher give it to him during the class, that way it's an all day event!

To ask my date to sadies i bought bags of tootsie pops and took out all of the cherry ones. then i took a piece of tape and wrote on it a oneee a twooo a threeee sadies with me??? i put a bunch of different sayings (like u have a 5% chance of opening the right one, keep looking, is it that hard to find, etc) and put them under the wrapper and wrapped them all back up. then i put them all back into the bag, just the cherry ones, and glued it shut. i made a sign that said his name and how many licks does it take to get to the center of a tootsie pop? unwrap to find out. then i put it in a class we had together and put the bag on his desk with all of the other tootsie pops on the floor it was so cute and he loved it :]

Well, I love a bunch of these ideas! But another cool way to ask a guy to Sadies, is to purchase a big, white balloon. Then draw a pig on it. (sounds sorta weird, but wait ;]). Then attach a note that reads, "when pigs fly, will you go to Sadies with me?"

i asked my boyfriend (who loves baseball) to my homecoming one time, and it went like this:

he came home from a friends house and i had signs that led him through the house that ended up in his room, the signs said,
1. (the guys name) i think your a real "catch"
2. so i decided to step up to the "plate"
3. and hope for a "home run"
4. so i hope you don't think I'm coming out of left field because...
(then he opened up his bedroom door)

and I was holding a sign that said "I think we would have a grand slam time together at Homecoming!"
and I was wearing a baseball jersey and a matching hat.
He said it was his favorite of all time!
You should try it!

Well see, we both wanted to ask the same guy to Sadie hawkins last year...so we decided to make a kissing booth just for him. After football practice we told him to meet us at my house where the kissing booth was set up. We took turns making out with him and he had to make the decision of who he wanted to take.
He absolutely loved it! He couldn't make up his mind so we both went with him to Sadies! It was simple and easy.

Hey girls from a guys point of view. The past years
here view; I like it corny and I love high school musical with passion. So heres some ways I've been asked and how I asked girls some sweet high school musical ideas and trust me I loved them and the girl thought it was so cute.

So breaking free, we're soaring flying theres not a place in heaven that we should be except sadies with me.

You are the music in me. Will you be the music in me at sadies?
Gotta go on my own way. We might find a place in this world someday like at sadies, but if not I gotta go on my own way.

With these ideas I decorated their rooms and they decorated my car. Good luck!

Here's for girls with soccer hubbies:

Get a soccer ball and replace his with one that says "Will you kick it at _____ with me?" You could also line up a bunch of balls and spray paint the letters of the dance you are asking them to under the balls. Either leave a note or write it on the balls "Will you kick it with me at..." and somehow let them know they have to kick the balls to see the letters. Then while they're distracted with kicking the balls, come out and surprise them!

Go to Home Depot or Target or somewhere with a garden center. Look for the big fake hollow rocks people use in their yards and write on the rock "Will you ROCK with me at (dance)?" or "(Name), You ROCK my world, will you go to (dance) with me?" If you wanna go the extra mile, make a trail with smaller, real rocks leading up to the huge one so its not just standing alone there.

I hope this helps!

RE: Ideas For Asking a Guy To a Dance

Well, I'm not shy at all when it comes to my feelings. The guy I want to ask (and I know he likes me back) plays JV football. And since nobody comes to our JV games except for parents, I was going to make a poster that says, "Number 60--Sadie Hawkins?" and just hold it up at the start of halftime. I don't care who sees--and I know he's going to say yes. Wish me luck, because I'm asking on Friday! (09/22/2007)

I just tried the fortune cookie in the microwave. It works! But it's a lot easier to sprinkle water all over it first--it helps it to get softer faster. And put it in the microwave for about 15-20 seconds. The result is well worth it! Great idea! (09/22/2007)

I have a best guy friend that I have had feelings for for 2 years and I know he's liked me since then too. Anyway we always hang out at Starbucks and whenever we go I always get those big decorated sugar cookies that they sell in baskets by the register. We were sitting at a table there and I told him I was going to get a cookie and got up to go to the counter. I had made a cookie shaped just like a Tiffany gift box (that was the theme for our formal) and decorated it in the same style that Starbucks does, and wrote "FALL 07??" on it and put it on a plate and just came back and put the plate on the table and offered him some of my cookie.

On seven of the balls they had letters that spelled out my name. on a big poster i put "Do you have the balls to go to Sadies with me?

My friend got asked to homecoming by her crush the other day and it was so cute. It could work for a sadies dance too though and its pretty easy. He brought a cake and left it in the discipline office for her! He had one of the administrators call her down and question her about skipping class. Of course she hadn't skipped so she said she didn't. Then the administrator said "well someone ratted you out" and he pointed to the cake. And the cake said "homecoming with you would be icing on the cake" and then love "his name" it was so cute and so funny. And if a girl did this for a guy they would love it and crack up all day.

Then fill the heart box with water and freeze it. Give it to him and he will have to defrost it and wait all day to see what it says. (10/02/2007)

This coming from a guy- GIRLS LISTEN TO THE BEST WAY OF ASKING A GUY TO SADIES- Guys don't need to be impressed by anything flashy, the best way to ask one is to give them something that deals with an inside joke between you and the guy. This will make it less awkward for you, and the guy will be more interested and will feel like you really care about him (10/24/2007)

RE: Ideas For Asking a Guy To a Dance

I got this on another site and im going to use it because the boy im asking has a really good sense of humor so i think he'll like it. From: http://help.com/post/16360-i-need-a-really-cute-way-to-ask-a-g you hand him this story(or put it in his locker, class,whatever) and have him read it. The story: Sadie Hawkins is one of Capps most memorable characters, who made her first appearance in November 1937. Until the mid-50s, November was known as Sadie Hawkins month and became an unofficial collegiate holiday and a comic strip character classic. Hawkins was the ugly daughter of the most wealthy and powerful man in town and was avoided by all the towns men. Despite her families prestige, she seemed destined to suffer the utmost humiliation with which a woman could be cursed  becoming an old maid. Hawkins father intervened and used his power to snare her a man. He lined up all eligible males and shot off his gun. When the gun was fired, they knew to run for their lives and their freedom. The gunshot signaled the unwed females to enter the race and try to catch a man. When an unfortunate male was brought back, most often kicking and screaming, he had no choice but to marry the woman. Hawkins seemed to be as quick on her feet as she was ugly and finally chased her man down. The other girls, who did not manage to catch their man, liked the idea and made Sadie Hawkins Day an annual affair to be cherished by women and dreaded by bachelors. So, are we going to do this the easy way or the hard way? ;] -you name. (11/05/2007)

Get a pinata and fill it with tons of candies. Put your name on a little piece of paper inside it too. Put a note on the pinata saying "It would be a FIESTA if you went to ______ with me! Find my name in the pinata!" (11/06/2007)

RE: Ideas For Asking a Guy To a Dance

A really cute way to ask someone to a dance is fill up their bathtub or if they have a pool, then put toy fish in there, then at the bottom have a piece of laminated paper that says "OUT OF ALL THE FISH IN THE SEA WILL YOU GO TO (name of dance) WITH ME?!" totally cute! (11/12/2007)

RE: Ideas For Asking a Guy To a Dance

I asked a friend last year to winterformal. We were close, still are, but in a brother-sister kind of way that I love. Anyway, he liked to go hunting and fishing, so I got one of those plastic ducks from home depot and put a "Wanted" notice inside it that said. I'm HUNTING for a date to Winterformal? Could it be you? He showed up two days later in all his hunting gear and with flowers and of course, said yes. It was fun! (11/26/2007)

My boyfriend put a bag of flour in my car and had a note that said "The answer lies in the flour!" and so I dug through the flower and found a note that said "Wrong flour check the glove box." There was a bouquet of flowers in there with a note that said "Homecoming with me ________?" It was cute! (01/06/2008)

THE BEST IDEAS EVER!

If you have a Facebook or Myspace you could make a quick, creative one minute video asking him and post it saying "check this Youtube link out, it is hysterical!" Then when he clicks on it he sees you and freaks! :) (01/06/2008)

RE: Ideas For Asking a Guy To a Dance

Okay, so last year for sadies i was dating this guy. And i got a bucket that you put sand in, and i had some sand from a warm place in a plastic bottle. So i filled it up with sand. Then the game scrabble was kind of an inside joke between us so i put the letters to my name in the sand. Then i put fake shells and a shovel on the on top of the sand, and with it a note that said "I would "dig it" if you went to sadies with me". Then he had to dig up my name, even though he already knew it was me :) He loved it! (01/09/2008)

RE: Ideas For Asking a Guy To a Dance

An amazing idea would be to get a big mirror or even a small one and take a big picture of yourself and put it on one half of the mirror and then write in lipstick on the other side "Could you see yourself going to ________ dance with anyone else?" (01/30/2008)

RE: Ideas For Asking a Guy To a Dance

Steal his phone and record something like " It's______, lets go to sadies!" Then make it his ring tone. Give him the phone and while its in his hand call his phone. (02/03/2008)

RE: Ideas For Asking a Guy To a Dance

One of my guy friends didn't want to ask this girl to homecoming face to face so instead one day he asked to see her phone and he changed his number in her phone to Homecoming? Then he called her and when she answered it was him and she said yes! (02/05/2008)

RE: Ideas For Asking a Guy To a Dance

Last year, I asked my boyfriend to turnabout by getting a disposable camera, and taking pictures of the letter in a sign. For instance, the T in Taco Bell, and so on. Then I gave him the camera and told him to get it processed. When he did, the film came out with each picture spelling out "Turnabout" and then a picture of me at the end. Its so cute and he loved it! :) (02/10/2008)

RE: Ideas For Asking a Guy To a Dance

My boyfriend absolutely loved this when i asked him to snowball...

So I thought of 5 cute little rhymes that would make him think of me & would ask him to the dance and I made a heart which I cut out of a styrofoam board. I cut the heart into 5 pieces and the 5th middle piece into the shape of a key. I taped the clues to each piece of the heart and cut out the pieces to be put in numbered boxes. Then when I had decorated all the pieces on the front I put them all together and on the back wrote "now that you have the key to my heart will you go to snowball with me? Love, your name"

He absolutely loved it & loved how creative it was....my favorite for sure :] lemme know if you use the idea id love to hear about it! (09/13/2007)

RE: Ideas For Asking a Guy To a Dance

Ok, so this is how i got asked to Prom!

I just got home from work, walked up to my porch and there was a ton of hershys kisses on the sidewalk with a note tied to my door. I opened the note and it said, "Now that I've kissed the ground you walk on, Will you go to prom with me" His name was in big letters on the bottom!

I answered him by getting a huge poster board and used starburst writing "It would be a Burst of fun to dance under the STARS with you at prom" and another poster board with a huge "yes"(the yes spelled out with the starbursts). I put the posters and threw starbursts all over his room! It was way cute. And it fit cause our theme at prom was stars!! (09/13/2007)

RE: Ideas For Asking a Guy To a Dance

Well for our turn about dance I'm going to ask my crush to go with me so I bought a little trinket jar with a cork top and some Origami wishing star paper. u can write a wish in wishing stars but I wrote a letter in each one on the bottom end then I folded them.

After folding them I wrote numbers on each so that they made words I put them in the jar and wrote a note that read "align these stars in order and unfold them to crack my code with love ___your name___" and put that around the jar with ribbon. its way cute they look like this:

RE: Ideas For Asking a Guy To a Dance

I did this for the kid I liked when I asked him to winter formal, it was fun and he thought it was really cute.

I wrote in bubble letters on pink construction paper...BE MY HERO, WINTER O7? (Our theme was super-heroes) then I cut the pieces out and glued them to purple square pieces of paper. Then I mixed them all up and on the back of every different letter square I drew either a heart, start, triangle, circle, or a smiley face. On a piece of white paper I wrote the rules of the game, then glued them to a blue heart. Then I made a cute envelope with his name on it and stickers and stuff. basically, every group of the same symbols went together to form a word. (ie. all hearts spelled WINTER) He had to put it together and guess the phrase. Haha it was really fun to make and looked really cute. It was totally original and all from scratch. :) (09/13/2007)

RE: Ideas For Asking a Guy To a Dance

So I asked my boyfriend to sadies like this last year.

1. I went before school and put a tub of butter in his locker, with a sign that said "just thought I'd butter you up."

2. Then when he got to school I put 8 party size bags of popcorn in his truck bed. [dumped them out] and wrote on the windows "before I popped the question".

3. Then I went to his house and put a sign on the door that said "but you might wanna sleep on it" and I put sheets on his bed that said sadies all over it.

It was so cute! (09/13/2007)

RE: Ideas For Asking a Guy To a Dance

Okay well me and my boyfriend were going to hit one month and I couldn't figure out how to ask him, so i thought of this:

I have a myspace and so does he. Well on the software paint I made a green painting because thats his favorite color and wrote "babe its been one month and I love you" Then in the next painting i wrote "will you go to sadies with me"! his answer was yes, and its been almost a year and were in love and everything is perfect!

RE: Ideas For Asking a Guy To a Dance

The guy I want to ask plays baseball, so I'm going to write "(His Name), will you go to Sadie Hawkins with me? -(my name)" and get someone to give it to him. It's simple, but it's cute enough to not be lame. Same thing applies to football or hockey guys. (09/15/2007)

RE: Ideas For Asking a Guy To a Dance

So I asked this guy to sadies last year and he really likes fish so I got the colored goldfish. I took out all the green ones (because that's his favorite color) and put that one on the top and then put a note inside a goldfish jar saying, "out of all the fishes in the sea, would you go to sadies with me?"

For another dance this girl asked her date by getting a whole bunch of tootsie rolls together and then made a car out of the tootsie roll bank holder thingy and said, "hey toots, let's roll to homecoming together."

Pretty cute if you ask me. (09/16/2007)

RE: Ideas For Asking a Guy To a Dance

I want to ask this guy to homecoming but we're not dating YET! I don't want it to be too much, but I want it to be cute! Please help! (09/18/2007)

RE: Ideas For Asking a Guy To a Dance

My boyfriend asked me this really cute way to homecoming..so i decided to get him back. So what I'm gunna do is I'm going to wait till he gets home from football practice. When I know he is inside I'm going to get in a really big box and ring the doorbell. When he answers the door, he'll look down at the box, which will have his name on it, and he'll open it.

When he does I'll pop up with a sign that says "Sadies?"

It'll be amazing. (09/20/2007)
