Wanting to ask his girlfriend in an unusual way, John Garcia (Danielle's boyfriend) created a bookmark asking his girlfriend to homecoming. This illustration is the back of the bookmark. - Illustration by John Garcia
With Homecoming right around the corner, a lot of people are
getting excited for their dates. However, some are still dateless. As most of
us know, Homecoming is a special time, it’s basically prom for underclassmen.
Asking your crush is always a bit of a stressful event. Some people keep it
simple and just ask.
Here are some cute Homecoming proposal ideas:
1.
Maze of Glory: this proposal idea is simple and easy.
All you’ll need is a string and tape. Take the string and tape it to the “start”
of your maze. Along to way, keep your string going, until you get to the “end”
of the maze; at the end of the maze, your potential date should find you
waiting. Then all you have to do is ask.
2.
T-shirt Time: Take a white t-shirt
and using a permanent marker, write your proposal. On the back write out a lot
of names, yours included. The catch? Your name should be written in permanent
marker, and the others written in washable marker. Have one of her friends give
her the shirt, and make sure that she doesn’t know whom the shirt is from.
Instruct her to wash the shirt. On
the back, the only name that will still be visible will be yours. Then she’ll
know that you want her to go with you.
3.
A simpler T-shirt: Simply take a
shirt, write your proposal, and ask your crush to circle ‘yes’ or ‘no’. A lot
easier to do, and just as effective.
4.
‘80’s romance: In true ‘80’s
romantic fashion, stand outside of your prospective date’s classroom with her
favorite song playing, and wait for her to leave the classroom. When she walks
out, make sure you’re the first person she see’s.
When it comes to asking your crush, sometimes the simpler,
the better. Homecoming is a time of fun, so relax and enjoy it.
