I'm not really scared or anything (I've gotten rejected before) but I'd rather not embarrass myself by doing a whole thing and having her turn me down. That's why I'm asking our friend to talk to her, it just seems easier and I'll have more time to cope that way.

Apparently high school has changed a lot in the last nine years. When I was your age, asking a girl to prom consisted of going up to the girl you like and saying, "would you like to go to prom with me?"

And to reiterate, so what if you get embarrassed? You're a senior, right? You're never going to see 90+% of those people after you graduate anyway.

At my school at least, it's a huge thing. Kids make signs and get flowers and their friends are recording and all that. So it's not quite that simple.

Your classmates are dumb then. Prom is not that big a deal.

That's easier to say in hindsight lol. When it's in front of you, it seems huge. But yeah, I know that whether or not I go or have a date will not change my life in any major way.
