I asked a guy to prom

I just up and asked him one day, and he said yes.

The whole thing is - apparently he likes me, but he didn't ask me first if I wanted to go to prom. I guess I was just expecting he would. I have had the feeling he has had a thing for me for about two years now, but he has never made any sort of move on me. The furthest he has gone is to single me out when I am with other people and pay extra attention to me. There was one occasion where I walked past him with a friend, and he totally ignored her and shifted his eyes past her only to say hi to me and me only. It's like my friend wasn't even there! He knows I go to the gym after school, so from my bus, I will see him go over there, stand around for a few minutes, and then leave. It's like he's waiting for me or something. I just think he doesn't know how to approach me, and I wish he would open up a little bit about it.

Is there any way to maybe help him open up a bit with his feelings? Or does it just take time?

Well I applaud you for your courage to ask him to prom, That is a very courageous move.
Give him his time and his space to express his feelings. If he truly likes you he will show it. Good luck with everything and have fun at Prom, it's one of the most magical nights ever and you will remember it for the rest of your life.

Good for you for asking him. That should send a message that you'd like to know him better and give him an opening to talk about any feelings he might have. Just have fun at the prom and let things flow naturally. :)

AJ, enjoying life with C.

I too applaud you for asking him. That's pretty bold and nothing like me when I was in highschool.
I think you should just go to prom and have fun. Don't try too hard to make sure he's comfortable, just be in the moment and relax. Once he sees you're relaxed he's likely to feel better anyway. Highschool guys are usually more nervous and afraid then they let on so just relax. And, above all, enjoy the night entirely.
