Sigil: City of Doors

I just wanted to share how proud I am of myself for asking a guy out ( to prom, specifically) for the first time in my life EVER. ^_^

He said no, but that isn't very important. >.>

I also wanted to ask if any of the European countries have proms, or something like it? (Prom = big high school formal dance, for upperclassmen, usually in the spring)

And if anyone wants to share any fun prom stories :)

Yes, we do. Nothing fun though, since we dance like it was 1672. And the younger students are forced to watch.

See, now that sounds like fun. ;)

And the grass is always greener on the neighbour's field.

never went to prom. Did go to dances those are fun. Though did not do prom.

Though will say this being truthful with a guy instead of beating around the bush on what you want or feel is a HELL of a lot better then when you do hints or other stuff. Will let you in on a little secert......guys will not get subtle EVER.

One of my many things I like about my wife she says what she wants makes my life easier.

As for amusing stories my dad was asked to the saddies hawkens dance (SP?) so he blames her for them getting together for she asked him hahaha.

Also can see how it is for a guy now getting turned down after getting the actually nerve to ask. Sucks huh? Though ask one of them quiet guys after they get the ability to speak to a girl again should be fun or scary.

teee hee!!! Good for you - this is harder than it sounds, particularly if the other guy/girl is someone you have a crush on :D


As for my prom, it was a lotta fun - I went with a friend, and the same girl who asked me to sadie hawkins earlier that year.

Over here we had the "prom" on the second year, I was asked twice on that year, and thrice the year after. Always replied no...

i dont think we really have it here in Denmark

I went to like four or five proms in HS. Chicks dug me back then. Now I go to California Maritime Academy, and we have this dance called Changeover, which is like a prom where half the douches like to dress in their dress blues sailor uniforms (which I personally hate wearing) but they do serve alcohol. For the past three years of school I haven't had a date for it so I didn't go, but then this year I got a girlfriend (shwing!) and I didn't know what weekend the dance was-- I mean I was too cool to go B)

Screw him! He wasn't good enough for you anyway!

And congratulations on asking him. It's kinda scary, but either way, it makes the next time easier. Fate favors the bold! Ask someone else. Or go stag and have a blast by yourself.

My prom was a classic tale of teen rebellion and repression.

When my family and I moved from big-city Chicago to a small town in the West, I was in for a real case of culture shock. Though I tried hard to fit in, I couldn't quite believe I was living in a place where rock music and dancing were illegal.

There was one small pleasure, however: Ariel, a troubled but lovely blonde with a jealous boyfriend, and a Bible-thumping minister for a father. He was responsible for keeping the town dance-free. My classmates and I wanted to do away with this ordinance, especially since the senior prom was around the corner, but only I had the courage to initiate a battle to abolish the outmoded ban and revitalize the spirit of the repressed townspeople.

I gave a great speech...

Ecclesiastes assures us... that there is a time for every purpose under heaven. A time to laugh... and a time to weep. A time to mourn... and there is a time to dance. And there was a time for this law, but not anymore. See, this is our time to dance. It is our way of celebrating life. It's the way it was in the beginning. It's the way it's always been. It's the way it should be now.

Cue Soundtrack.
