Who should I ask to the dance, and how

After I decided to go to Sadie Hawkins I needed a creative way to ask my soon to be date to the dance. I kept thinking, and asking all shorts of people for an idea to ask this certain boy. So many people had different, crazy ideas. This made me wonder why do we use creative ways to ask people to school dances? The alternitive for asking someone creativly to a dance is actually going up to the person. For lots of people this situation can be very, very, awkward. So most people try to avoid it, and thus creative, non-contact asking ideas are created. If I had to ask my date in person to the dance I would probably not have asked him at all. I would have felt really stupid asking him, because what if he said no or already had a date it would be a sad, embarresing moment. So I didn't ask him face to face I used and idea where I wouldn't have to come into any contact at all with him. Not only do students use creative ideas to ask people to dances, because they want avoid contact, but because it can be lots of fun. It is really fun to recieve something on your doorstep from a person of the opposite gender then have to figure out who that person is. It adds a totally different feel to the date and dance in general. If someone uses a fun way to ask you out it mostly means that they just want to have a fun time at the dance, at it isn't usually a serious date.
Most high school students use creative ideas to ask others out, because it can be lots of fun and a way to avoid an awkward situation. They come up with fun, stupid ideas in order not to feel stupid.
