<p>Prom is starting soon (in early June), and I've been thinking about a date. I have a few options, but I'm really conflicted with which one to go with. Any opinions would be appreciated!</p>
<p>1) I could go w/ a friend. It'll just be a fun school-party-like environment.
2) I could go by myself (with a group of friends) and just hang out
3) I really like a girl, and we're really good friends, but she lives fairly far away. (quite a distance). If I ask her, I plan on paying for the plane ticket, prom ticket, transportation, etc....
4) I don't go to prom.</p>
<p>Many of you may think choosing option 3 is crazy and insane. However, let me explain. I really like this girl and we're probably going to different colleges coming next fall. I think this may be a 'once-in-a-lifetime' opportunity and I'll probably enjoy it immensely but it'll be a huge investment when compared with my other 3 options.</p>
<p>Any advice from you guys would be appreciated!</p>
<p>Option 3 is obviously your favorite. Now the questions to ask. Can you afford that and will your parents let you spend that much money when you’re heading off to college in a few months? Will her parents let her fly alone? Where will she stay? If at your house, what will all the parents think of that? If in a hotel, who pays? If with another friend, is it convenient for them? How long will she stay in town, the weekend, or a few days? When does school end for each of you? Will she miss school? What will she do while your in school? </p>
<p>Once you have the answers to those questions, you’ll know if Option 3 is even possible. If that option doesn’t work, go with number 2. You’ll still have a good time with your schoolmates.</p>
<p>Going single with a group of friends seems to be more common now, at least from what I observed. Making the prom atmosphere feel more of one hudge party. So if there isn’t someone you would want to be with the entire night, then I think going with a group of friends is a better pick.</p>
<p>Of course three is the best, but would you really ask someone to come to your area just to go to prom? I dont think its crazy or insane, but is it convenient for her? or you?Maybe you should go to prom simply to hang out with friends and simply because its prom. After school ends you guys could spend a lot more time together.</p>
<p>Aw option 3 is extremely cute. I would be so flattered if a guy did that for me. Anywho, if she’s the only girl you’d go with even if someone else asked you, then you should do it. Think about it, prom happens once and pretty much the highlight of your high school career. So what have you got to lose except a few bucks? Does she know how you feel about her?</p>
<p>I meant you should choose option three because it sounds like the cutest thing ever. However, it would only work if you can pay her to fly over, etc. So if the money works out, I would totally choose that option.</p>
<p>You obviously prefer #3. But that could get really expensive. Flight there + Return can start at about $120, if you can fly Southwest and get up to, well, an awful lot, depending on how far you’re going. Also, would she need somewhere to stay? It’d probably be hard for her to leave right after prom. How much does a hotel cost in your city? Unless she/you/her parents/your parents are cool with her staying with you or maybe someone else she knows in the area.
If you can afford the expense, go for it. If you can’t, I’d say still go and just visit her later.</p>
