It’s that time of year again in the US when you need to gather your courage to ask your crush to your high school dance or prom. In America, it can be a pretty big thing for teenagers and a “promposal” is something that lots of teens spend time thinking about and planning.
Traditionally, a guy used to approach a girl for a prom or a homecoming dance and if the girl hadn’t agreed to any other suiter, she may decide to go out with him. But things have changed, and gender roles have been redefined. Today, thankfully girls are not hesitating to be the ones taking the lead.
And it can take a lot more than “Would you like to accompany me to the dance?” for someone to agree to the proposal.
So, if you are planning to ask your crush to go with you to a dance or on a date, then make sure you are well prepared with some cute little gestures. Don’t worry, you don’t have to swim an entire ocean! Here are some amazing out-of-the-box gift ideas for you to ask like a perfect suitor.
Let’s get started!
Opting for personalised gifts is the best way to show some effort, and also it symbolizes how much you know and are interested in that person. You don’t need to go overboard with it though.
You can go for simple personalised gifts like a name engraved necklace, bracelets, books, bottles, and other accessories. You could also go for zodiac signs instead of words or birth dates. Remember, the idea is to be cute and not cheesy, so choose accordingly.
For example, you are about to ask a girl on a date. Then you have unlimited gift options to choose from. You can go for custom-made handbags, jewellery, scented candles, makeup, or keepsakes. You could also opt for cute little muffins and get them personalized.
Do you remember how your grandpa used to tell stories about how he asked your grandma to their dances together? I can guarantee that most of them might include things like mixtapes, a red rose, or maybe your grandma’s favourite chocolates.
So, why don’t you opt to stick with that? Suppose your crush is a dancer and loves to groove on DJ or party songs, then looking for the best DJ mixtapes around is a great option. You can also look for some tapes that include your crush’s favourite songs. That shows your interest and how much you value other people’s likes and dislikes.
You can also go for something handmade like a card that says, “Will you be my date tonight?”
Things have to be the same. You just need to add your charm and creativity to it. And that’s how sticking to traditionalism makes a perfect proposal. Or you can simply ask your grandpa for some idea and add a modern touch to it. Also, it’s classy when someone adores traditional proposal ideas.
Suppose you are one of those people who stick to one perfume or own a specific style of clothes. Then you can use that to make your crush miss you when you aren’t around. According to psychologists, the human brain identifies a particular object and tries to connect it to one specific memory or a person. You just need to use that for your benefit.
You can opt to gift a particular perfume or a hoodie that reminds him/her of you. Even if you don’t get that “yes” instantly, you’ll get it eventually because of that memory you just gifted to your crush.
The trend of gifting bouquets and stems of flowers is something that has always been popular. But if you are a plant or a nature lover, then perhaps you don’t like the idea of plucking flowers. That doesn’t mean you can’t give flowers anymore, though. Now you can gift flowers without plucking them from their natural habitat.
You can opt for gifting, live plants so that it grows with your bae, and even if he/she doesn’t accept your proposal, your plant will always be there with him/her. That’s really sweet! Not only this but when you opt for giving someone special a live plant, that means you are wishing good health for them. This is because they’ll always be in the fresh air because of your thoughtful gift. However, if you want to go in a classic way, these days you can send a proposal for a prom with a bouquet of flowers. Wherever you are, you can set up a flower delivery to Boston, Denver, San Diego, or any city in the USA.
The best part of the technological world is that you have so many gift options to choose from. You can opt for gifting Movie tickets, Netflix/Amazon Prime subscription, AirPods, Alexa device, or power banks. Yeah, I know it’s a bit expensive, but you’ve got to spend your pocket money if you want to impress your crush.
Plus, I’ll suggest you go for a Netflix subscription because then you both can watch a movie and spend some quality time together.
A piece of advice: Remember, it’s a two-way street. No matter how much you make efforts or give gifts if it isn’t meant to happen, it won’t. You just need to let it go at some time. Otherwise, you might end up like that jerk stalker who wouldn’t back off.
Wrapping Up!
Hopefully, these extraordinary gifts mentioned above can help you make a cute proposal for your crush. So, make this dance season memorable by impressing the one person who you wanted to ask for a date but never had the courage to do so. (Let’s admit it, we all have that one person in our life).
So, what are you waiting for? Go and shop for those amazing and adorable gift items and say those words, “Would you like to accompany me to our next high school dance” and rock your ‘promposal’. Just stay confident and don’t forget to take your gifts with you.
