Okay, I was wondering, so I did some research.
"Sadie Hawkins" originated, believe it or not, from a comic strip called Li'l Abner by Al Capp. Sadie Hawkins was kinda ugly and her dad was scared that she would never get married, so he declared a Sadie Hawkins Day, where the old maids would run after bachelors. So the comic became famous and colleges all over adopted it. High schools too. So now we have a day where girls ask the guys instead of the traditional way. Nationally, Sadie Hawkins ended up being in November.
I like the idea of Sadie Hawkins because then every girl that WANTS date can get one (unless the guy says no. Hopefully not!).
