Okay, I need some detnetter advice. (PG, get your ass over here) Prom is coming up, and I wasn't planning on going at all. I can think of plenty of other things to spend 2 to 3 hundred bucks on that last a lot longer than one night. (memories don't really count) So anyway, there's a girl who I don't know at all that is friends with one of my pals...she came into one of my classes the other day with him and told him she thought i was cute, and asked if i had a date. She's pretty good looking, but I don't really know what I should do here. Do I say "fuck it" and spend the money, go, and try to have a good time at a school function I don't like? Or do I pass on word that I don't have the money/don't want to go at all and spend the money on other stuff? This is becoming even more critical as I'm really fed up with my job and am going to quit soon -- but with summer so near (i'm going to be away the whole time) it doesn't make sense to get a new job. Whaddya think people?

I'm pretty sure that she wants to go with me. That price i said includes a tux, a limo (i wouldn't take her in my ford tempo, c'mon) dinner and tickets. Tickets being SIXTY FREAKING DOLLARS EACH. My parents are tight, but are also trying to get me into Indiana University right now, which is expensive for out of state. Either way...an escort service...I like that. Spydir, you may indeed be a genius for that statement.

when that time of year came around for me, i was thinking i seriously did not want to go. i am not a really good dancer, and i thought i would be really uncomfortable the whole time. however, i am a really sentimental person and i knew that i would seriously regret not going. i built up the nerve and asked a girl friend of mine to go with me, and she very happily said yes (bg info: she was a junior, she is really hot, and she had a b/f at the time who went to another school). anyway, the tickets for the 2 of us were about 50 i think (30 each or 50 for a couple). i ended up renting a really nice tux that costed about 贶. we went to dinner at a nice restaurant (about ฮ for both of us). i didn't get a limo, but then again the only people who got limos were big groups of friends. between 8 people, a stretch limo isn't too expensive. i drove my parent's brand new neon. anyway, i had a great time. i danced and looked silly, my date was really friendly and we had a lot of fun, and we were with a big group of friends (my entire circle, excluding just a few). my point is this: prom is FUN, and not terribly expensive. it IS worth it. it is even better if you have an actual date. i should mention that sex is NOT gauranteed except for those couples who have already been going out for a while. if the girl likes you and asks you out, thats awesome. i wouln't base my decision on the chances of getting laid though. consider the possibilty (key word) an added bonus. if you want to go to the prom, and she doesn't ask you, but she drops a lot of hints, then ASK HER! if you don't go to prom, you WILL regret it sooner or later!

yeah, go to prom. I'm almost positive it won't kill you.I went twice. First time I was asked by a chick because she was scared another (freaky) guy was going to ask her. How's that for romance? So, I coerced my friend to go with us with a mutal friend. It was a big plutonic 4-some. It wasn't all that bad. Second time I went with my gf. We had a good time. We doubled with mutual friends (a couple). Also had a decent time. Come to think of it, I don't remember if I had a good time, but it's planted in my memroy as a good time... so it must have been worth it. Make your parents help you. It's a special night for them too... because they can relive their prom. At least have them loan you a decent car, or double up with somebody who has one. It's funny how a bunch of geeks, who by definition would be against such establishment events, all advocate going. It really is just a time for ya'll to just chill with some music, and dress well too. Take some James Bond pics before hand. It makes you feel better. And, finally, my Tuxedo cost 贶... to buy. If you anticipate ever needing it again, just buy it. I needed it for band, so it was a no-brainer.

wow. that wasn't what i expected to read in here. anyway, you should probably go unless you already have something cool to do anyway. i hated my highschool and 90\% of the people in it. i went to a luscious jackson concert on my prom night and got snuck into the bar for the after party (i was 17 and had braces, this was the much cooler option to me). anyway, my decision left me with no stupid prom pictures to laugh at with my college friends. i'm not sorry i didn't go, but i guess i may have missed out on the general prom experience.

Go there. Go there with the girl. Try to go there with as many friends together as possible.  I think a prom night can be REAL fun if you are with friends, and in any case you are gonna make that girl really happy. In case you do not really like her too much, Escort s´Service is a good term to describe it. See it as a social act in order to save her the following experience:I was an exchange student in Canada, and well, prom was coming near, and "of course" I had no one to go there with (hint: intelligent girls never get dates!  ). I ended up by finding the friend-of-neighbour-of-friend who was 23, he accompanied me to prom, and well, all I have as "sweet memories" is some photos I am gonna burn as soon as I have the opportunity, and a pretty exact definition of what I do NOT want sex to be (no details about it!!!). Honestly, you'd not want any girl to live through that... and out of my experience from German school balls, going alone ain't much fun for a girl, either. So accompany her, she'll be grateful throughout her entire life. ------------------
