For CP's "date" with Dee ("Message Board Reality"), I would say pull up to her house in a big limo filled with roses... of course, if you can't afford that, I can always loan you the cash... but remember, *spooky voice* you owe me. Of course, I could be overdoing it... On second thought, a simple bouquet or even a single flower will do, and you can decide what you want to do with the rest of your date ahead of time.
-------
For CP's prom situation ("REAL Reality"), I would say just go up to her (whoever she is) and just ask if she has a date to the prom. That's it. I know, you're going to say "It's not that simple," but guess what? I really is that simple. The reason you don't think it is is because you have a fear of rejection. Guess what? Rejection isn't all that bad.
"Yeah, right, but what if she acts really insulted that a guy like me even asked her out?"
Then that means she's not someone you'd want to go out on a date with anyway. Think about it, if a girl acts like a total jerk about the fact that you gathered enough courage to ask her out, then she's not your type. You can usually get a good idea if a girl's going to be a total snob about it even before you ask her. TRUST YOUR INSTINCTS. You will always be able to "feel out" what type of personality she has by her interactions with her friends and with you, etc. The best thing is to know something about her personality before even attempting to ask her out. I know it's a dumb teenager move to ask a girl out without having any idea what type of person she is, basing the entire decision upon her looks, etc. (I know, I've done it myself before). So, if you're really interesting in asking this girl out, at least know ahead of time that she's not going to be a jerk.
So, let's say, in your scenario, you've already established that she's someone you are attracted personality wise. At this point, I would go with my first bit of advice, which is simply to ask if she's already got a date to the prom. Since she's a nice girl, the worst case scenario is that she simply says yes, but thanks you for your interest.
See? That wasn't so bad, now was it? True, she already has a date and you're out of luck, but hell, there was no embarassment, no awkwardness, no nothing. At this point, you simply reply "That's too bad," or "Okay then," or even "Dang, I should have asked you sooner." DON'T ACT DEJECTED! Whatever you do, don't pout or act like she just tore your heart out. Let it slide, and don't feel bad about it.
Best case scenario? She says no, she doesn't have a date to the prom. At this point, JUST ASK HER!! Again, if you're sure she's a nice girl and might be interested in your company, you have absolutely nothing to fear. She'll probably say yes, or maybe, or "I'll have to think about it"...
SCORE!!
Of course, even if she says she can't, or that her parents don't allow her to date or something, it's still not that big a deal, because now she knows that you are interested. Whatever reasons she has for hesitating or not being interested in going to the prom with you, she'll still know that you had voiced your interest in being her date.
Again, don't act dejected or upset, and don't keep bugging her if she said no the first time. If she's undecided or unsure about her plans for prom, give her some room. You can say that you will give her time to think about it. GIVE HER YOUR PHONE OR EMAIL. Let her know that she can contact you whenever she makes her decision. It'll get pretty tense waiting, but trust me, YOU MUST WAIT AS PATIENTLY AS POSSIBLE! If you see her the next day and she still hasn't made up her mind, DON'T PRESSURE HER. Even asking if she's made up her mind yet is pressuring her to make a decision. So if you see her, DON'T BRING UP THE DATE. She'll bring it up herself in conversation when she's good and ready to.
Realize that asking a girl out is not as momentous a thing as you may think. The world will not tilt off its axis if you don't get your date with her, and your love life will not die prematurely unless you give up even before trying. And yes, not getting a date with her would suck, but that doesn't mean you have to hang up your gloves. If she says no, ASK SOMEBODY ELSE!! Believe me when I say that YOU DO NOT HAVE A "PERMANENT REJECTION" CURSE ON YOU. Keep asking girls out. Don't give up. Persistence pays off in the end.
So, to put this huge essay into one sentence, my advice to you is this: Don't be a pussy and just be yourself. Her head will not explode if you ask her out, and you will not, I repeat, will NOT look like a doofus as long as you look at the situation logically.
That's all. I can give you advice on what to do on your prom date if you want later. _________________ "The principles you live by create the world you live in; if you change the principles you live by, you will change your world." -Blaine Lee

what's he up to?
At ToonZone: Inflicting pain on the unworthy, like he'd do here.
At TDA: Trying to reconcile a futuristic green layout with Gothic-style lettering (take a look) and rendering clips of new-style Toonami goodness. _________________ "When I became a man, I put away childish things, including the fear of childishness and the desire to be very grown up."- C.S. Lewis
