- the person who already has real history with their crush and wants the ask to feel earned
What to put on the sign
“Every one of these got us here. Last frame stays blank til you say HOCO.”
One line, big letters. If it needs a second read, cut it down.
The plan
Print 8 to 10 of your best photos together as Polaroid-style shots and clip them along a string in order, oldest to newest. Leave the very last frame blank except for the question in Sharpie. Hand them the string rolled up, or hang it on their locker so they read it left to right and land right on the ask.
