<p>@anonymous: sadly, his reasoning is lame. He says he just doesnt want to go. I know he’s not much of a dance (he’s understandably a bit awkward at times) but cmon. Not for one night???</p>
<p>The most important part of your post I gleaned was that christiansoldier has some imperfection.</p>
<p>@Anonymous: Well…perhaps not. He’s actually kinda into this one girl (one of our mutual friends) and I know that he really likes her. She actually has a bf though and has been with him for a good 4 years. I kinda bad for him since she kinda ignores the fact that she’s really not helping when she leads him on and what not. So really, I guess you might say that Christian is a bit of a romantic and doesn’t easily sway from his feelings.</p>
<p>this thread took a really awkward turn on the second page, lol. does christian really want this semi-personal info for all to see? :p</p>
<p>and hopeful, i would just go with a small group of whatever friends you have stag. you don’t need a date, really, and if you have no female friends it’s weird to just ask girls you don’t know well or like (at least at my school).</p>
<p>^Yeah, unfortunately, that’s actually what it seems like I’ll end up doing. I sort of ran out of options lol.</p>
<p>i have absolutely no one to ask, and i really don’t care. now that i think about it out school is really ugly</p>
<p>Wow Brandon! What the hell? Way to bust me out at the only place besides Academic Decathlon where my approval rating is above 70%!</p>
<p>Why do you feel the need to ask someone??? GO TO PROM NO MATTER WHAT… If you don’t you will regret it the rest of your life… or so my mom tells me. She turned down guys and spent the night at home. She says she has regretted it ever since. Once in a lifetime experience.</p>
<p>For guys: compile a list of girls that you’d like to go with, eliminate those how already have boyfriends/dates and then ask them out. If they say yes then congrats if they say no move on to another one on the list. If you exhaust the names on the list ask your attractive neighbour or cousin or outside school friend to go with you.</p>
<p>For Girls: Same idea (compile a list then go for it blah blah blah) but the one difference is that it is always an option for girls to go as a group of girlfriends (the group must reach critical mass though).</p>
<p>I took a girl that I sort of knew to a spring fling last year. Over the past year, I think I’ve grown to like her, and we’ve become much better friends. </p>
<p>I’d like to ask her again, but I’m not sure whether I should or not, since 2 years in a row is generally for couples or something and I do not know if she looks at me in the same way.</p>
<p>Has she been talking to another guy lately? Does she have other close guy friends? If not, I think it’s perfectly natural for you guys to go again. As long as it’s not a huge deal, ie you hang out with the same group of people.</p>
<p>agreed completely with glassesarechic. particularly if you are friends and she doesn’t have another date already lined up or something, you should ask her! there is nothing wrong with going twice as friends, and i bet she’d love to go with you.</p>
<p>Well, she isn’t able to go. :(. But I said that we should do something some other time then, and she agreed. So yay I guess.</p>
<p>I guess I’ll take a friend.</p>
<p>How much are girls spending on their dresses? My mother thinks, for some reason, that $178 is insane, even though she spent $200 last year (and got me a ton of other prom stuff). I actually hate my $178 dress and want one I have on hold for $240, but we’ll see.</p>
<p>I have to get a semi formal for Cum Laude too. Ugh. I’m so poor.</p>
<p>^ You could double up on the cum laude dress and the prom dress and then your mother may see the reasoning in getting a more expensive dress.</p>
<p>^But I’d like a long prom dress because it’s senior prom. A long ball gown will look ridiculous at a country club dinner where I <em>know</em> everyone will be under-dressed (despite the fact that it’s a BASIC RULE OF ETIQUETTE to overdress when in doubt. Ugh). I just have to do semi formal because my mother freaks if I even look at a dress that’s not at least sateen. “They always blame the mother! Do you want me to suffer?” </p>
<p>Ugh, Catholic guilt.</p>
<p>^ Fair enough… Although I love being overdressed… When in doubt I go for the tuxedo and the burgandy velvet smoking jacket.</p>
<p>i got my prom dress from j. crew- it was $325, but it was on a 30% off sale, i think. it was a lot more than i had in mind, but my godmother paid for half of it as a very, very belated birthday present.</p>
<p>I feel so lucky right now. I remember I was worrying over the summer over who I was gonna ask come April since I’m really not that close with any girls at my school. Got together with my girlfriend back in February, crisis averted.</p>
<p>Anyone have any ideas for asking her?</p>
<p>Is $348 ridiculous for a prom dress? I don’t know. I feel like it’s worth it because it’s a short dress meaning I can wear it again to a different event. It’s not a formal ball gown so I don’t have to worry about it being a one-time thing. I would just feel bad having my mom pay for it :/</p>
