Answering a Promposal
Reply to a promposal with an answer as soon as possible. Don’t make them wait around wondering. This gives someone a chance to ask someone else if you turn them down.
When to Say No to a Promposal
- You absolutely are not going with anyone because you don’t want to attend the dance.
- You already have another date.
- You go to different schools and your prom is on the same day.
- You have other plans and won’t be attending at all.
- You don’t need a reason to say no to someone. Let’s normalize “no” as okay.
How to Say No to a Promposal
No one likes to hear no in response to being asked out. But you can deliver the news with kindness. Just remember to:
- Be respectful.
- Be direct.
- Be kind.
- Be honest (don’t say “We can go out another time” if you don’t mean it.)
When in doubt, here are some suggestions:
- “I’m flattered that you asked, but …”
- “I would go with you, but …”
- “It was sweet of you to ask, however …”
- “No, thank you”
Saying Yes to A Promposal
You don’t have to answer with a poster or other presentation but it can be fun.
You can also consider a promposal response idea using the same theme as the promposal poster invite – if there was one. If not, try and think of something that your date is interested in.
- Food
- Movies
- Music
- Sports
- Hobbies
Now what you’ve been waiting for, let’s check out some fabulous ideas for responding to a promposal.
