writes: The homecoming dance is coming up in a few weeks and there is one girl that I can't imagine going without. We dated less than a year ago but we broke up and I think she still has some feelings for me. The only time I get to see her this year is at lunch and if we hang out. I want it to be guaranteed a chance to ask her, so i have to ask her at lunch. I was going to do it outdoors. I want to ask her in a very unforgettable way. Is there any amazing way I can ask her to the dance and get a yes? I have very very very very crazy strong feelings for her. Is this a good idea? Any ideas?

You already dated and broke up? Hmmm.
Okay, here is what I would NOT do: do some very big, very public, grand gesture. Why? Because it could end up embarrassing for her and even more embarrassing for you in the case that she says no, or at least wants to think about it. It's okay if you want to do something grand, but go over to her house after school and do it, or something so that it's at least relatively private and she can answer you in any way that she'd like!
If you ask her at lunch, you're going to have a cafeteria of people who will be witnesses to you getting rejected if she says no. And I don't think you want to take that chance, man!!
You seem like a real sweet guy, with good intentions. So let's figure out a less potentially humiliating way for you to approach her. If you can't do it outside of school, then you could leave her flowers in her locker or set up a scavenger hunt, ending with her finding you in some semi-private place, or you could just go up and ask her.
There is no guarantee yes, and I worry that if she says no... then this event in your life will sure be unforgettable. Good luck, sweet!
