So today my friend (Kim) was asked to homecoming by this guy Thomas during French. Our teacher called up random students to the front of the class to answer a question in French. At first she just asked random people questions like, "Who do you see if you're sick?" or "When was the last time you got sick?" but when Kim came up, our teacher said, "I'm giving you the hardest question. Here it is: Will you go to the Homecoming Dance with Thomas?" And Thomas, who had free 6th period, walked into the classroom with a bouquet of roses. Then Kim squealed and hugged Thomas, and she said yes and accepted the roses.

But, what if she said no? I don't know, I just wouldn't want to be asked out in front of a bunch of people. Flowers are fine, but I don't want 30-40 people staring at me. And if I didn't like the guy, I'd say no. And.. it's really hard rejecting people in front of a huge crowd.

TL;DR: Would you prefer to be asked out in front of a lot of people, or would you rather be asked in private?

I love you, I seriously do. cliffnotes are best.

I would rather be asked out in private.

private

when a guy ask me out in public, it seems like he's SOOO sure i'd say yes, either that, or he's trying to use the public to pressure me into saying yes. I dont like it when people think they know what i think. therefore, private is better.

Lmao wow that was o.o cool I thought those things only happen in korean dramas anyways .
I would rather to be asked out in private.

[emceej]

i would rather have a private thing.cuz i usually get asked out by guys im not interested in and i don't want to come off as a jerk in front of everyone by rejecting him...that's really not my thing O__O' but if i like the person back and they ask me out, i wouldn't mind it if it was in front of everyone =)

[Swtess]

Privately. It saves us all the embarrassment and pressure.

[Harbl]

Public. Massage my ego for a bit, milk the crowd, my adoring public. Then say no.

[joogrlpekaun]

Private, definitely. I would especially hate to be the woman whose boyfriend "romantically" proposes marriage to her out of the blue in front of a crowd, though that's obviously more serious and requires more thought. I don't care about romance or a cute, creative show, I just want to be able to think it over and answer without a crowd of uninvolved spectators entering into the equation at all and passing along the details for the rest of the day. It's only two people's business. At least it's not as bad once you're out of high school and not everyone knows what everyone else is doing or even who everyone else is (the exception being if you go to an incestuously tiny liberal arts college or conservatory that's smaller than high school).

...That was really cute, what Thomas did. I wonder how he got the teacher to play along with him? lol.

I usually think guys have no balls if they're too shy to ask you out in public. In private is okay I guess, but I think
it's really lame to do it online. o_o

[JooLee]

lol cute story but i totally prefer private. save those moments for the dramas =) i think its actually sweeter to do it one on one, and its better if you plan on not accepting. saves the other person from feeling and looking bad and you looking like a jerk

[LionAngel]

private.. i might die if somebody did that

[pinkxlilies]

I think public is sooo cute - I actually wouldn't mind...only if it was from a guy who I'd say yes to for sure though. I'd hate to reject someone in public...omg i would feel so bad for that guy! If it was from a guy who I didn't like, then it would just be plain creepy. And also I'd prob be known as "the pinkberry who rejected ____ in front of everybody!" or smth haha.

[linuhhparkk]

i think public is really cute, but if i didn't like the guy, it'd be major hard and awkward for me to say no.

so i'd have to go with private.
some one on one convos and whatnot.
it's cute either way x)

[joxxy]

Private.

Public only works if the attraction is mutual but if it is, then it could be really sweet.
It'd be really uncomfortable to say "no" in front of a group of people.

[missmoobear]

Lmao wow that was o.o cool I thought those things only happen in korean dramas anyways .
I would rather to be asked out in private.

hahaha.
i agree ! (:

[Illicit]

Privately.

And I'd rather have the guy ask me directly instead of relaying it through his friend(s). It's happend to me a few times. >.>

[taaaaay]

Public. It is a lot funner that way.

[stjapo46]

Wow that is such a cute story =)

For me it doesn't exactly matter but I think private is more sweet/meaningful haha.
I guess it's different depending on the situation, I wouldn't want to reject someone in public.
If the guy that you like asked you, a public thing doesn't sound bad at all.
Private is a win win situation though, saves you the pressure or the humiliation.

[aZooRe]

I think being asked out in public is wonderful. It's happened to me...but then again my bf was asking me to prom so it was a guaranteed yes...

if the guy KNOWS the answer is going to be yes he should...but whatever floats their boat.

[Poop-Shoop-A-Loop]

I'd rather be asked in private, but the *thought* of being asked in public like your example would be cute. I think it's cute when it happens to other people, but I'd be like O_O :| if it happened to me whether or not the feeling's mutual, lol
