April is here — and so is formal season! This year is my first sorority formal, and since I’m in college now, I thought I escaped the jitters and awkwardness of asking my crush to be my date. Yet, it still exists: How do I ask them? Do they even want to go with me? What will they say? And, scariest of all, how do I ask someone to spring formal?
The struggle is real, and it can be incredibly intimidating. Sure, you can always just ask your bestie to come with you: that way, there are no anxious thoughts about them responding or having to keep track of them at the actual formal. And yes, you can totally go to formal solo — it’s a power move, IMHO. But, if you have a crush, formal is the perfect opportunity to make your move (in style, of course). And thanks to the digital age, you can send texts to ask your crush to sorority formal. Score.
Look, if I can ask my crush to my formal, then you can too! (BTW he’s stoked to come.) So, here are 15 texts to ask your crush to your sorority formal. These texts are sure to make your crush smile, and might even land you with the date of your dreams. Good luck!
