How to get invited to the school dance by a boy
If the guy you'd like to go to the school dance with hasn't proposed to you yet, take the initiative and try to let him know you'd like to go with him. Instead of telling her directly, give her hints to build her trust and demonstrate your interest.

The laid-back approach
1
Say how excited you are about prom coming. Don't bring it up in every conversation, but talking about it every couple of days should give her a heads up. Say how much you are looking forward to it. Talk about all the little things that matter to you, including your dress, what you plan to wear with it, and if you don't have a dress yet, explain how you imagine it. Describe it in such a way that the guy will want to see you wearing it. Also be sure to say how excited you are about prom.
2
Make sure he knows you're available. When you talk about dancing, make sure your dream boy knows you don't have someone to go with yet. Mention how eager you are to go to the prom and say that you still haven't found a date or that you plan to go with your friends for now. Use terms like "for now" to show that you're open to going with a guy rather than your group of friends. Avoid sounding desperate by saying things like "I don't know what I'll do if no one asks me to go with them." [1]

Ask her about her plans for prom. If the guy you like is already going to the dance with a girl, you won't be able to get him to ask you to go with him. Try to find out if he's available or if it's a lost cause by asking him about his plans for the prom. Do not ask the question clearly: "Are you going to the ball with someone?" Instead, when you tell him about your own plans, ask him if he's going and if he's looking forward to it. As he begins to tell you a bit more about his plans, you will gradually be able to gain more important information.

Plant the idea in his mind. If you find out that the boy of your dreams is available for prom, let him know you'd be interested in going with him. It can be difficult if you are not good friends. You should be able to joke about it by saying something like, "If we go together, we'll be the cutest couple" or "We can show everyone what it's like to have fun." Talk about it lightly and don't be pushy. Joking about it will let him know you'd like to go to prom with him without putting any pressure on either of you.

leave clues
1
Get to know him better. If you're not already good friends, try to develop a better friendship with him, before he starts to follow through on his plans for the prom. Start by approaching him by talking about mundane topics, such as your classes or pop culture, and gradually build a more interesting friendship. Don't tell her right away about your idea of going to the prom together. Avoid the subject so he doesn't feel pressure from his new friend. When the time comes for him to choose a date, he might think of his new friend, that is... you.

Make a sort together before the ball. If you're on good terms with him, suggest going to a movie or playing a game a few weeks before the dance. Avoid saying it's an "official" release. Instead, act like you're interested in dating him as friends or just don't say anything. If necessary, you could even ask her out with a larger group. The goal is simply for you to have fun together. If you had a good time, maybe he could ask you to go to the ball.

Write “anonymous” notes. If you want to try something a little more original, give him clearer clues by placing anonymous notes in different places. Stick a note in his locker, on his table at lunch, or anywhere he might see them. The notes should say something like, "Someone is secretly hoping you'll ask them to prom." Make sure the notes are clearly addressed to him so he knows, beyond a shadow of a doubt, that they are meant for him. Give him clues about your identity, but never say who you are. However, if he asks you directly if you wrote those notes, confirm his suspicions. Otherwise, another girl might try to upstage you.

Match your friends. If you manage to match at least one of his friends with one of your friends to go to the ball, you will have a better chance of going as a group. When your new pair of friends are chatting with you and the boy you like, you might casually suggest going together as a group. You could also ask your friend to come up with the idea or ask her to ask her coach to come up with the idea. This works especially well if several of her friends are going to prom with several of your girlfriends.

Ask your friends to speak for you. If you have friends in common, ask them to tell the guy you like that he should ask you to go to prom with him. Maybe he doesn't realize you're interested, but if one of your friends is talking about you and casually suggesting that he should ask you out to the dance, it might be an eye opener. Your friend doesn't necessarily need to mention that you've expressed a desire to go with him, but she should make it clear that she's sure you'd say yes if he offered to go with her.
Advice
If all else fails, you might consider applying yourself. If the guy you like is a bit shy but seems interested, you could indirectly ask him to go to prom. Just be careful not to put it in an awkward position. Instead of asking directly "Do you want to go with me?" instead, say, "I'd love to go with you," assuming he'd be interested in going with you. This will let him know you're interested, while allowing you to turn things around if he can't go with you. [2]
Warnings
Try not to overdo it. Hints are only effective if you don't overuse them. Find a balance between not giving enough clues and being too obvious.
You also had to know when to stop. If he's trying to let you know he's not interested, you should stop insisting and let it go.
