Okay, lets face it, if you've ever done the normal "Will you go out with me?" to the one you like, it doesn't usually work. You need to be creative!!!! What are some creative ways you've thought of? I have one that I really want to do and will probably employ in the near future.
Let's say you're playing truth or dare. You pick the person you like, if they pick truth, ask them out.

I started liking Matt when he offered to be there for me after I had a serious panic attack. After about a month, I gave him a phone call and told him I liked him. Plain and simple.

My ex's parents put a block on music downloads on his computer so every so often he'd ask me to do it for him and he'd pass me a note in form with a list I'd do for him, then once he sent me one of those stupid "Do you like me? If yes tick the box" notes but it also said "can I borrow your copy of Modern Life is Rubbish?"
I mean how could I say no to anyone who asked someone out involving Blur?
He didn't even like MLIR after I lent it to him and it is my favouite Blur album, he didn't like Power Corruption and Lies by New Order either, it was always a doomed relationship probably

How do I ask the girl I'm going to my school's winter dance with out? Aside from the normal "During a slow dance" (unless your idea is really creative)

Based on Flashback's experience:
You could borrow a book or DVD from her, then give it back a couple of days later with a love poem inside.
Or you could just ask her if she wants to see a film or grab a coffee or something and somehow get onto asking her out on an actual DATE.

It seems that asking someone out tends to work best when two people are engaged in a conservation they both parties are enjoying. As has already been noted, seldom are you successful if you walk up to a person, even if you know him or her, and ask that question "will you go out with me." There is a strong possibility that, for instance, if you are a guy and you ask a girl out when you have not gotten into any enjoyable conversation, she will turn you down.
Conversely, though you can't bet on this, enjoyable conversation can tend to open up avenues for that question to be asked. The reason why it works better is because it seems more natural. Perhaps the walk-up-and-ask-her-approach does not work well because it has been tried many times by insincere guys that didn't honestly want a date, but only a hookup. In any case, try talking to her, having already begun the conversation about something unrelated to going out with each other.
If she says no, try to save the conversation about the non date related topic. This is a mature and adult thing to do--finding a segway back to the conversation. It increases the possibility of avoiding that all too familiar awkward pause that can occur when she says "no," which then ends with one or both parties walking away in an equally odd manner. If you respond with class and dignity, and carry on with the conversation without whining about it or asking for an explanation, she may very well change her mind (provided she told you "no" because she was really unsure in the first place.) But if not, don't press her, and after all you know you have certain things in common anyway, and such provides a good foundation for a fruitful friendship.

Way I want to ask someone out but I would never get away with: "Girl/boy I know you must be tired 'cause you been through my mind ALL DAY!"
