Sparkler synchrogirl117 is HILARIOUS. We're laughing. We're snorting. Our burrito bellies taut, flawless six pack abs are strained. Orange juice is coming out of our noses. We hope you react the same way. —SparkNotes editors
All of us (unless you are famous, shipwrecked on a desert island, or Bella Swan) are back at school by now, and probably already swamped with homework, crazy teachers, and cafeteria food. But never fear, for there is a wonderful event coming to shake up the horrible monotony of education: HOMECOMING!
Students of the world, pay close attention: It has become popular nowadays to ask the classmate of your choice to go to the dance with you in a creative, flirty way. But what if you don't know how? Good news: having been asked countless times myself (that was sarcasm), I know what girls are looking for, so I've compiled a list of fabulous, foolproof ways to ask your crush to the dance.
1. Morse Code.
This one is simple: go to her house armed with your handy dandy flashlight, and flash the word "homecoming" through her window (dot dash dash dot dash dot dot dash. Or is it dash dash dot...?) over and over and over. She has to get it eventually!
PRO: She might think you are really smart because you know Morse Code.
CON: She might not know Morse code.
PRO: She might be a Twilight fan, and be flattered that you know where her window is. (If so, wear glitter when you go and answer evasively when her parents ask about your age.)
CON: She might be normal, and be creeped out that you know where her window is.
PRO: She might fling open her window and lovingly accept your offer while basking in romantic moonlight.
CON: She might not accept your offer at all. She'll be too busy sleeping on the bench in the science wing to make up for all the hours she lost last night when a mysterious flashing was keeping her awake.
2. Bake her cookies.
Then, when you ask, she won't be able to resist your thoughtfulness (or your yummy-licious cookies).
If she says no, you can eat them yourself. Right in front of her.
3. Send her a musical cupid.
They do it in Harry Potter, so it must work! It's easy—just call up the nearest dwarf, give him wings and a voice lesson, and viola! You could even use the lyrics from the book:
Her eyes are as green as a fresh pickled toad,
Her hair is as dark as a blackboard,
I wish she were mine, she's really divine,
The hero who conquered the Dark Lord.
If that's not romantic, what is? I mean, (SPOILER ALERT!) Ginny does it to Harry in book two, and they end up married. Think about it.
If she's a Harry Potter fan, she will absolutely love it. If she thinks pickled toads are gross, or doesn't have green eyes, or thinks all the dwarfs you know are lousy singers, you might want to try something else.
4. Leave her this note and two rocks on her porch.

Will you go to homecoming with me? Bring the rock with your answer on it to school tomorrow.
Make the "yes" rock small and pretty. Make the "no" rock too big to carry.
5. Write her a letter.
If you are too shy to ask her face to face, just slip a letter into her locker. You can tell her how awesome she is and ask her out without either of you freaking out and jumping through a window to escape. It's personal and sweet, but way less awkward (you can worry about that part during the cheesy slow dance).
How would you ask someone to homecoming?
