Decorate his locker.

Set up a surprise for him when he gets his textbooks. Before school, grab a posterboard and some markers and write “Homecoming?” in all caps. Tape the sign to his locker and then wait nearby for him to approach. When he sees the sign, head over and ask him the question again in person.[2]
- Since it’s early in the morning, you could hand him a coffee or a pastry as you ask the question.

Write it on his car.

Get some window paint and head out to his car during lunch. Write “Homecoming?” on the back window, and make sure to sign your name! When he comes outside after school, wait nearby so he can see your homecoming masterpiece.[5]
- Make sure you use window paint that’s made specifically for cars! Regular paint could mess up his windows for good.

Use sports lingo.
Download Article
If he’s involved in sports, he’ll love the extra effort. Use a green poster and draw white lines on it to make a football field. Then, write “I’ve got a game plan: homecoming?” on it to pop the question. Wait outside after a practice or a game to ask him out![7]
- You can do this for any sport! Just switch up the color of the poster board to match whichever playing field he’s on.

Gift him a box of tacos.
Download Article
Write “Let’s taco bout homecoming” on the box. When he opens it up, he’ll be delighted with delicious tacos and a fun homecoming date proposal. The best part is that he gets to chow down on a meal with you after he answers.[8]
- This is a great option if he doesn’t have a sweet tooth but you still want to ask him using food.

Ask him with a pack of highlighters.

What if I get scared?
Community Answer
Just remember fear is one little thing, and your confidence should be stronger than your fear. Just go for it. There's nothing to lose in trying.

Question
Should I give him something, or just talk about going to homecoming?
Community Answer
You don't have to give him anything, and you don't want to come off as desperate, so I would suggest you just ask him if he wants to go to the dance with you.
