My Prom-Blem


Byzantine

Recommended Posts

My troubles can be summed up in one word: PROM.

Choice must be made very soon. Like tomorrow soon.

On the one hand, there is the daughter of two faculty members. Nice girl, easy to talk to, all around great and a blessing to have as a friend. Probably wouldn't expect much dancing. Probably/possibly modestly dressed, at least relative to others. Problem is the friends. They... have a tendency to get into rather... inappropriate topics. Did I mention the parents combined could be said to hold my future in their hands because of their positions at the school? Most of my friends seem to think it'd be a good idea.

On the other hand is another girl. Nice girl, but kinda quiet. Used to lust after her a few years ago, but well over that. Umm... not entirely sure what I'd be getting into here. Has a friend who would be rather unpleasant to be with because of her attitude toward the Church. Asked her to prom last year, she said yes, but couldn't go with me.

Neither girl is really a problem as far as chastity goes as far as I know.

I'm not looking for romance. I'm looking to go with a female friend mostly to make my mommy happy and I want to avoid any damage to my relationship with God.

So if anyone could drop a comment on what I should do. Thanks. I had hoped to talk to my priest (who can serve as spiritual father, friend, and older man all at once) after tonight's service, but... that didn't happen. So please give me some advice on what to do if possible. Thanks everyone!

I am not one to talk because I have never been asked to prom and never went out with any guys, but I would say, go with who ever you will be most comfortable with. You don't want it to be awkard so don't make it awkward by asking someone who you are going to feel weird around. Prom is supposed to be a relaxing evening with your friends, so make it what you want it to be! For me I would find it too weird to have a date at prom so I'm just going with my friends. I guess, just do what ever you will feel most comfortable doing.

^This. Go with whoever you would feel most comfortable with and who you think you would have a good time with.

Don't listen to the chicks, bro. Skip it. Proms are lame. Go see a good movie and eat a steak dinner.

Take some friends for a nice dinner. At my schools dances we usually have no dancing. Just STUFF THAT IS RESERVED FOR MARRIAGE going on on the dancefloor. And people tripping on acid, and pot, and... Yeah! Sounds fun, right?

And we are apparently the most well-behaved school in the district. In wonder what the other schools' dances are like...

I'm gonna take myself to the prom, so you should try that. High School girls can be a hastle sometimes (no offense, ladies :) .) I suggested the same to my buddies, but they all want to "break their chastity", if you catch what I'm saying. So its a no for them. But I plan on staying chaste....and dancing like a idiot. :dance: It's what I do....

Thanks guys! But just to make it clear, I'm going because my mommy told me to and she said I have to ask a girl. To be honest, I'd rather stay home and parse Koine Greek verbs.

1) Take girl to prom (either girl will do)
2) After entering prom area, excuse yourself to the restroom.
3) Inside the restroom their will be a window. It will be unlocked. A car will be waiting on the other side.
4) Real party begins



That's the fun option.


The boring option is to take girl #1 for political points.

The stupid option is to take girl #2. Since you seem "eh" on both, better take the political points.

________________




My real opinion is to skip the prom. You don't want to go. Your trying to find a way out. Girl number 2....no......but there's political pressure for girl number 1. The problem with appeasing political pressure for girl #1 is that what happens after prom? I mean, do you expect you'll be asking her out again? Will the powers that they be frown on you for taking this girl out to prom and then....nothing? Or will they be happy regardless of the lack of follow-up?



Proms are overrated and society is in love with the idea of the stereotypical magical prom night. Be a man and reject society's infatuation. Do something that will actually be fun instead of shelling out money for a night of awkward moments and "modern dancing." If your going to take a girl out.....do it on your initiative......when you actually want to.

well if you want to be nice, you could ask the one who is less likely to be asked by someone else

...its super annoying to be waiting around, and never getting asked, or to have a friend in that situation
