<p>I got asked by a guy from another school to prom. Initially I thought he asked me to his prom (that's how it works, right?) so I assumed he'd take care of everything. Apparently though, he asked me to BOTH, so he kinda invited himself to my prom....
Im a total noob at this now, so I have no idea how to bring up the money issue with him. If he's the one who asked, doesn't that mean he pays for everything or what? </p>
<p>So basically....who pays for what specifically (in terms of ticket, limo, dinner, corsage, pin, etc) at each prom? And how do I bring this up with him???</p>
<p>Two proms with the same guy seems like too much. I’d talk him down to one. He generally pays for everything except the dress. Sometimes the girl will also pay for her own prom ticket but that’s kinda a toss up.</p>
<p>Well, we’re not gonna be changing the two proms thing at this point. I’ve already bought a different dress for each, and I’m fine with him coming to mine.
Btw, my prom group has a limo and I don’t think his does. Does that change anything?</p>
<p>I got invited to my sister-school’s prom (I attend all-boys catholic school) last month, and my partner took care of everything, which seemed to be a lot including the cost of her dress, makeover and my boutonniere. I had my suit on stand-by and I only had to get her a corsage. </p>
<p>I have my own prom this month at the same place my sister-school held theirs. The cost is $150 per couple, and I paid for it because that is what a man does when he invites a guest to accompany him.</p>
<p>Um…do I have to specifically TELL him to pay for me? or is it just implied? He hasn’t brought it up at all and I don’t know how. What about at my prom?</p>
<p>It is assumed that he will pay for his prom, if instructed otherwise. </p>
<p>It is also natural for you to pay at least half of your prom because you are a female. Call him and talk about school affairs then go into prom details. Something like “oh so I am in the prom committee and …” </p>
<p>Good luck and pm me if you need further help :)</p>
<p>I definitely agree that the general rule is guys pay for everything except the dress but having him pay for everything for both proms is a financial strain for a high school student. Unless his parents are very supportive of him financially or he’s dirt rich, then talk to him ASAP.</p>
<p>Just be like, “hey, so how will the money work for our proms?” Be upfront. Communication is key to everything!</p>
<p>If you have the money to buy 2 different dresses, why are you worried about him paying for you? Aren’t women always talking about equality anyway? Except when it comes to money though?</p>
<p>I would ask him, but expect to pay for one. It really annoys me when girls expect guys to pay for everything, I DO want equality. Especially as it is two proms, it’d be a lot of money for him,.</p>
and I only had to get her a corsage. </p>
