Asking a reaaallyy shy guy to formal (prom)?!? HELP!?

[Sam]

1. Yeah. He might like you; does he sit on the far side of a class which your in sometimes? if so, see if he chats with other people -then-.
2. It's eaiser to talk like this. This is a factor that he might like you.
3. If he likes you it wouldn't be awkward. If he doesn't then you won't go ========= No awkwardness. Besides, it's way more awkward being alone.
4. That's cool. Is anyone else in the car without a 'prom date'? If that's a no, it's like you set up to be together! he might even have set it up(?)
5. Yeah. See next point.
6. The only way to not be rejected is not to ask; but that'll get you no where. It's better being somewhere then no where. point2:I doubt it! Every straight man wants to go to the prom with a girl, not alone :-)
7. Do it by person - Facebook can mean friends reading before he does - sometimes even deleting! Not to mention sometimes 'private chats' get hacked into & leaked.
8. Of course it'd be awkward - but he's shy anyway and in person no one would know so it would only be between you two (which wont show because he's shy). It'd fade over time.

I've put some real detail in which I wouldn't usually. plz consider 'best answer!'
