Texans Cheerleader Says Yes to Prom Date With High School Senior

A Texas high school senior scored a date with a Houston Texans cheerleader last week after asking her to prom with a creative Twitter invite.

Mike Ramirez, a 17-year-old senior football player at Crosby High School, contacted 20-year-old cheerleader Caitlyn Beth on Twitter Thursday with an inventive proposal: "If I get 10,000 retweets, will you go to prom with me?"

Ramirez said he couldn't believe the cheerleader actually said yes.

"I was talking to my friend Colton about prom and I just said, 'Man, what if I asked a Texans cheerleader to prom,' so I did," he told YourHoustonNews.com. "Honestly, I didn’t think she'd respond, but you don't hit unless you swing."

"I'm so excited," he added. "My buddies are excited for me too. They said I have to do it big, so that’s what I’m going to do."
