Are you lonely and unfulfilled in your love life? Do you want to ask your “special someone” out in style? As Homecoming fever spreads through the air, people propose in creative, yet unexpected ways. Be unique and super romantic (?) this homecoming season with these ideas:

Reciting poems:

            To have a standout hoco proposal, you must stand up. Simply stand on top of a table, clear your throat and recite a long and supposedly romantic poem that your English teacher would not be proud of to confess your love. Do it high school musical style and personify Troy Bolton’s swag. Let’s just hope the audience is gagging because of the food rather than your prose. Remember, you most definitely passed the poetry unit in English class.

Will you be the chick(en) to my nugget at Hoco? 

            Are you quirky and not like the other couples?  Be unique, wrap yourself in brown paper and dress up as a chicken nugget sitting in your partner’s bathtub! While they might say yes, you will also give them the biggest jumpscare and forever ruin their favorite food with flashbacks of soggy bathtub chicken. Your breakup will be a chicken vs. egg screaming girlfriend situation…

Fake arrest:

      Did your crush just get their license or are they deathly afraid of getting a ticket? Convince your local law enforcement to fake- arrest your date, and while they are being handcuffed, sit in the back of the cop car with a hoco sign. Their reaction towards you might actually land them in jail. 

I slipped off the roof for you proposal:

      We all know the only way to show your love for your partner is to break a couple bones for them. To do this, go to your partner’s house at 3 in the night, climb on top of their roof and secure a sign that says “Hoco” and a bunch of multicolored balloons. While your inspiration might be the movie “Up”, one wrong move and you’re most definitely going down. If you fall, at least you did it for love. 

College rejection letter:

Is your crush a major academic? Be sure to toy with their emotions in senior year by sending them a letter containing the long list of colleges they got rejected from. Fortunately… they got accepted to go to Hoco with you! (Some side effects include: being jumped, getting broken up, and being trash talked to the entire school)

In the end, the best way to ask your special someone to homecoming is to ACTUALLY ASK THEM. You can dress up as a chicken, but just don’t chicken out…  Trust me, after your partner reads this article, your proposal can’t look that bad. Just choose something that is special between the both of you, work up some courage and ask them out. Good luck lonely people!
