Preparation:
- Ask a friend or family member for help if needed.
- Practice speaking with confidence.
Approach:
- Find a time and place where you can talk privately.
- Maintain eye contact and smile.
Be Direct:
- Express your feelings directly and clearly.
- For example: "I would love to go to the dance with you."
- Emphasize how you feel about him being your dance partner.
Be Respectful:
- Accept their response regardless of whether it's positive or negative.
Follow Up:
- If the answer is yes, discuss details like what to wear or how to meet at the dance.
- If the answer is no, thank them for their honesty and wish them well.
Remember, it's important to be respectful and okay with rejection. You're both young, and these early experiences can help build confidence for future interactions.
