answer:Consider that you have a date for the prom, and proceed knowing that. He may be very shy, and self-conscious. So be considerate and email him or write him an actual letter to talk about plans for prom. Don’t push him for getting to know each other. Once you are sure he is still okay with going to prom, you can worry about getting to know him on the date. If you don’t hear from him soon after an email (like two days after you send it), walk up to him at school and talk to him face to face.
