Prom?!

[Enitocin]

So, because I'm not creative in the least, I want your suggestions. I just graduated from high school this past year(barely) and I went to prom with some random girl. Now my girlfriend is in her senior year this year, and prom is in May or something. I've been with this girl for almost 5 months(whoo!) and I'm completely in love with her.

Anyways.. I can never think of anything cutesy/creative, and I have no life.. sooo...
Any good ideas?

[AestheticLife]

You're too young to know this forum (or game, even) exists. Go find some Pokemons or something.

Anyway, yes. Lots of good ideas, none of which involve spreading your/her anus (sorry Methais). PM sent!

[Enitocin]

I still play Pokemon.. :(

[Asrial]

I actually recommend NOT doing anything overly fancy.

Just do what you can to make sure she has a great time and treat it as a fancy date.

[Mighty Nikkisaurus]

I only went to my senior prom long enough to get the pictures taken. We spent most of the night in Seattle doing random things in our formal wear (bowling, going to GameWorks, starting a dance party on the ferry to Mukilteo, etc).

But I agree with Asrial. Don't do anything fancy. Find a group of people, go to dinner, go to the dance, maybe go to a party after.

[Enitocin]

Yeah, that what everyone's been telling me.. Don't do anything too extravagant. I don't know if she's planning on going with a big group or not though, so my plans are still kinda on hold.

OK. I guess I'll be helpful.

I called your high school (I stalk young boys). Anyhoo. They said your prom theme is Manicorn's and Barbiedolls. I suggest you make sure your horn and thong match her PomPom Hair. Take pictures. Mail me the thong. And also if you are somehow unable to manage all this you fail at life and are fired as board newb.

[Enitocin]

I'll take pictures. Just for you.
And I'll wear the thong for a few days and pass it around before I sent it over to you. ;)

You went from being half-cool to sucking infinitely worse than me at trolling in like half a day. Well done.

If she's going in a group then the group at large will make the plans and all you'll just have to show up.

Yeah, so I'm hoping she doesn't want to go in a big group..

Awesome. It matters to me what you think. Please feel free to tell me what you think at any time. Forever. Because I love you and everything I do is for you. 100%. It's not for my amusement or for the collective amusement of the internets but specifically for YOU. If I ever ever ever disappoint you again....just let me know. I will change. I CAN CHANGE. I will do everything I can to make you happy. Because you are what matters.

I cannot believe that you are actually out of high school. Going in a group is fun- it's one of the last hurrahs you have with your friends from high school before you go your separate ways and you never see each other again or only in passing. Your girlfriend is being dumb and missing out if she doesn't go with friends. Prom is not supposed to be a night that's the epitome of romance.

As far as asking- she is your girlfriend, isn't it a given that you're going together? Ask her when it is and what color tie you should wear. Then ask her if you're going in a group and where you guys are gonna eat.

[Showal]

Buy her some nice flowers. Do what everyone else does. She's a girl. She's likely going to be too interested in taking pictures all dressed up with her friends than any lame idea anyways.

I'm pretty sure we're going with a group friends, I'm just not sure who or if they're renting a limo or something.
And just because we're going out doesn't mean I still don't want to ASK her to go.

[Asrial]

Ask her when it is and what color tie you should wear. Then ask her if you're going in a group and where you guys are gonna eat.This is a great way to approach the subject.

She's either going to respond immediately and give you the details.. which tells you that she already planned for you to go.

Or she's going to stall to buy time.. which tells you that she wasn't intending you to go.

At which point you are to thank us for not telling you to go all out!

You should probably buy her a new car. 0 down, 10% interest paid over 5 years. Something nice to let her know how much you care.

*facepalm*

It's prom. It's not the night you're asking for her to marry you and have your babies.

But no, what you should do is this- you should take her to a super expensive restaurant and buy her a necklace from Tiffany, and have them make her her favorite dessert. Then as you're sitting outside, a skywriter will write WILL YOU GO TO PROM WITH ME!!! in the air and it will be omg magical and looking back from your death beds you'll be like that was the best moment ever.

[Asrial]

..and looking back from your death beds you'll be like that was the best moment ever.More like looking through the bushes as you watch her with the new boyfriend she met in college!

Go to her school to pick her up and get her locker combination. Put a tiny balloon (no bigger than your hand) and card saying Prom? in her locker before class is over. Then walk her to her locker and when she opens it BAM!

I'm pretty sure he already asked her to the prom and got an affirmative response.

I haven't actually ASKED her. But she said that she's going to go with me. I just want a cute little way to officially ask her.

[Tisket]

Oh I thought you wanted suggestions on how to romance her during/after the prom.

On a sidenote that has absolutely nothing to do with this thread except that it's about proms, anyone remember that lesbian girl who recently sued to take her girlfriend to the prom? She won in court but apparently the parents and/or students secretly held the "real" prom elsewhere. Talk about cold: http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/36178446/ns/us_news-life/

^Maybe they were allergic. To gays. It happens.

Seriously tho... in the backwoods sometimes there are alot of people who are allergic to gays. And soap. And proper english.

[Marl]

feed her alot of acid then take her to a pet store with a talking parrot and have the parrot ask her to the prom.

Ask them. They seem to care about prom.

[BriarFox]

She's already said she's going with you. It's redundant to ask her. In fact, if you screw up asking her badly enough, it'll make you come off like as neurotic and uncertain. Girls do not like uncertain guys - trust the PC on this. Ask her what the plans are (there are probably plans), and then do all the normal stuff along with one, small, sweet, meaningful thing. What does she really love? What does she really care about? Do something with that. For instance, my girlfriend adores phalaeonopsis orchids. I might have the flower-shop make her a custom corsage out of them.

Just because YOU went alone, then had sex with every girl under the fruit punch table, doesn't mean it's the right move for this dood.

He's a romantic! My advice (or Rimalon's) is obviously the best. Have fun dood.

[Showal]

I think you actually need to think of a creative way of asking for everyday of one week. You're right, even if she's already told you that you're coming, you need to formally ask her. There's nothing most people like more than having to repeat themselves constantly and reassure other people. So think of a new way to ask her for every day of one week.

Sunday - Casually invite her out to coffee. Have the person making your coffee write "Prom?!" in the foam. Get an answer. Laugh. Kiss and try to touch her boobs.

Monday - Put a slip of paper in a ring box that says "Will you take me to your prom?". Take a walk, pretend you fell, but really be picking up the box to give it to her.

Keep it going for a week.

You're fucking adorable, kid, and don't let anyone tell you otherwise. Everyone here is thinking exactly what you were hoping. "What a good boyfriend" "How sweet" and "I wish my boyfriend did that for me for my prom".

At the end of the week, stick it in her pooper.

Don't do this. This is going to come off as overwrought. Just do something simple but meaningful...

Actually I didn't read the middle pages of this thread--why are you asking her again? I thought you were dating for five months so you were definitely going?

Also--why do you not know what she's doing after? Also if I recall everything from my prom correctly you need to know what color(s) she's wearing (for the corsage and possibly accents to your tux). So get on the phone and get the details, guy!

And don't put 'prom' in her coffee.

I'll always regret not going to my prom. Show her the time of her life. Dance every dance, tell her she's so beautiful she takes your breath away, all that romantic stuff. AND have fun with all your friends, just sneak those little romantic touches in there.

As far as asking her goes, buy her a little something. Not a huge something, but a little something. Maybe a heart necklace or one of those I LOVE YOU bracelets or even a little stuffed animal. Give it to her and say something like I know we're already going but I wanted to ask you formally if you'd do me the honor of allowing me to escort you to your prom.

When Mike and I decided to get engaged we'd already picked out a wedding day and gotten blood tests and booked our honeymoon. I'll never forget him giving me the ring disguised as something else and when I found it getting on his knees and asking me to marry him. I already knew we were getting married, but that gesture has stuck with me ever since he did it. Women love those wonderful corny moments.

And have fun!

I guess it depends on the woman.

I can still think back to my first boyfriend (ah High school) and when he gave me a stuffed animal and flowers for Valentine's Day, and all of my friends were like "AWWW what a sweet boyfriend you have!" and I couldn't figure out why it made me feel uneasy and even disappointed. Even back then over the top or stereotypical gestures came across as insincere to me and thus meant very little, though at the time I thought it was what I wanted and was very confused by how it felt in actuality.

I understand not everyone is the same but I can't in good conscience tell this kid to do something that, even back when I was his girlfriend's age, would have only made me uncomfortable and possibly annoyed me.

To me if something like you suggested or some other more personal way of going about things is not immediately clear, it's best to just let things be and focus more on simply making sure she has a good time.

[AnticorRifling]

400 was/is a lot of money to a high school kid that works a part time job for it instead of suckling on mommy and daddy for everything.

I remember saving up for all that prom shit it was brutal because:

1) I refused to ask my folks for money
2) They would have laughed at me anyway

[Bobmuhthol]

Hey, if you like wasting $400 in a night, go ahead and send me a $400 check. Also, what kind of high school student going to a prom has a salary in the first place? Lastly, are you a retard?

[AnticorRifling]

Atleast I got laid. Plenty of times. Ayep.

You're a girl, it's not like that's a real feat. Just walk into a room point at the goods and yell next.

[AestheticLife]

Why did everyone but me completely ignore the long-term benefits of stepping it up with this opportunity?

Even though there's a ninety percent chance they split the moment she tries to put him on a leash (unless of course the OP sucks at life, and doesn't go to college), doing something with that sliver of hope in mind isn't too terrible.

This is the perfect time to win brownie points with her parents, and offer yourself up as a traditional gentleman and all that. You wont be sticking it in her pooper then and there, but it'll go a long way towards fairytale endings and such.

Am I the only one that thought "Aww that's cute he actually wants to ask her and be all romantic?" You know at the same time realizing my fiancee and I don't ASK eachother about anything except financial decisions and "Hey hun what's for supper?" It's great growing together to the point where questions aren't needed.

Come to think of it most of her statements:

"The baby needs to be changed."
"The grass needs to be mowed."
"Groceries are in my trunk."
"The older one is acting up again."
etc

All translate roughly to "Get your ass off the computer and do this."

[Celephais]

Some actual advice came out of this thread from someone besides Aesthetic Life! Alright!

But seriously, for those of you that agree with what I'm trying to do and are giving me suggestions, thank you.
-No, I haven't spent a lot of money on her. The most I've spent at once was just $50 for a nice-ish dinner for our 4 month.
-I am going to college right now and I'm planning to be a high school teacher, and she already knows that. So I don't really have to worry about being leashed.
-I usually make $400 every paycheck (twice a month). Which is good for part time work. I scored an awesome job through craig's list. And I didn't have to take it up the ass!
