10 no-fail prom convo starters

Things can quickly get awkward at the prom when the conversation runs dry between you and your date. To avoid the uncomfortable silence, here are a few convo starters you can use to keep your cutie chatting all night long.

 

1. “How did you do on the test?” Asking questions about classes will show your interest in how he is doing in school and can spark more convos about teachers and other assignments.
 
2. “What shows do you watch?” Everyone has a OMG-love-it T.V. show and even if you haven’t seen his favorite show you can use that as an opportunity to ask him to fill in the deets. At least half an hour can be spent talking about the background and characters on a show.
 
3. “Have you heard the new (artist’s name) song?” Music is the most universal human connecter in the world. You guys can talk about how much you both love the hottest new hit. If he isn’t into the same tunes as you, this gives you the opportunity to ask more about the music he does likes.
 
4. “What’s your fave food?” Now this might sound like a silly thing to ask someone, but as we get older our taste pallets expand and we start to love all kinds of new foods. Talk about what you love or hate to eat, or even the best grub spot in town.
 
5. “Do you have any pets?” There are very few things people love more than their pets (case in point: YouTube vids). Our presh pets always have funny quirks, which often make for really cute stories.
 
6. “What do you think you will want to study in college?” Most upperclassmen have this question on their minds. If college is too far away, you can always ask if he’s doing any sports next year.
 
7. “What are your plans for the summer?” With the end of the school year just around the corner, this is a go-to question. Plus, it gives you an opportunity to make plans to hang out over vacay.

 

8. “Did you hear about any after-parties?” This is a good way to talk about all of the different get-togethers going on after the dance and deciding which one would be best for you both. This also makes it quite clear to your date that you wanna keep spending time with him.
 
9. “I really like her dress. What do you think?” Everyone will look awesome so there will be so much to say. Don’t feel like you are limited to talking about dresses either. Make him feel more comfortable by commenting on guys’ outfits too.
 
10. "Let's get our picture taken.” Most party-goers get their pictures taken at the dance, but the line is always so long when you first get there. Wait for the line to go down some and save it for when things get quiet between the two of you. Keep the chatter going with bringing up goofy childhood pics or photography.
 
I hope these conversation starters help to keep the chitchat flowing between you and your date. Remember to have fun, don’t get stressed out, and boogie the night away. Your prom night will be awesome!

so i'm trying to ask my bgf to prom but i'm not sure how.i tried to slip a note with a poem asking him into his violin case but someone stole it before he could read it.we found the envelope in his music locker but no note. i want to try to ask him again in a cute way because there is this how did you ask contest at my school where the prize is a pair of tickets. any suggestions?

 

Hey girl! Winning the contest sounds awesome, but do you think he might take it the wrong way and think that you like him as more than a friend? If you're not concerned about that, then you should definitely try to win the contest--just do it quickly before someone else asks him! Here are some cute ideas:

 

1. Buy a fishbowl (and a real fish!) and write a note on it saying: "Out of all the fishes in the sea, I want you to go to prom with me!"

2. Make a puzzle using construction paper and write a message on it asking if he will go to prom with you. Then put the puzzle pieces in different balloons and blow them up and give them to him. He will then have to pop the balloons and figure out the puzzle!


3. If you're able to get your teacher in on it, create a fake pop quiz. Have your teacher hand it out to students (it can have really easy and silly questions on it), but give a different copy to your BGF. Give him really hard questions and have the last question ask if he will go to prom with you. 

 

Hope these ideas help!

MOD!!
I really suck at making conversation and I clam up easily around people I don't know well. I just never seem to know what to say...
Anyway there's this guy who I don't have a crush on who asked for my number on Facebook when we were chatting and he has texted me a few times at night in the two days since he's had my number. He is really friendly and he gives good advice as well. But I don't know if I should text him first or if that would make me seem too clingy (I'm not good with phone etiquette)?? I want to be his friend and not be so closed off but I don't know how. HELP!!

 

Hey girl! It sounds like you are off to a good start so far. The best way to get more comfortable around someone is to continually talk to them and get to know them better. You can definitely text him without seeming too clingy--just text him with a purpose! Instead of just saying "Hey, what's up?" every day, ask him a more specific question. Do you go to school together? Maybe say something about a homework assignment or make a funny joke about something that happened during lunch. Keep the conversation casual and you'll be friends in no time! And remember, if he asked for your number, then chances are that he wants to talk to you!

Luckily I'm going with my boyfriend so I don't have to worry about this

My favorite conversation starter:
"Are you ever worried that your white blood cell count is lower than your friends? I mean, sure, your immune system is fine, but is it the best?"
Works every time.

My boyfriend and I rarely see each other outside of school. I'm 14, and he's 15, so neither of us can drive. He has a really strict mother (Who also works a lot so she can't take us places)which also causes problems. I do see him a lot, though, having a lot of classes with him. But that's not quite the same. My mom said she would take us places, but since I'm shy (and kind of afraid of asking him to do something and him thinking it's dumb or him not being allowed to go) it's hard for me to just come out and ask him on a date... Do you have any advice?!?!? I would REALLY appreciate it!




Hey girlie,

You gotta ask him out! He's your BF, so don't feel afraid. You might be a little nervous, but the more you ask, the easier it'll be. You don't have any excuses since your mom has offered to take you places, so just take a deep breath and go for it! <3
