eek... going to a high school prom!
I'm actually going to a high school prom this friday night! One of my girlfriend's little brother's had a girlfriend that just dumped him last week, and he's been desperate for a date so I offered to take him. He is a bit of a dweeb and a stereotypical high schooler, but I think I might be able to stand him for a few hours. I plan on just wearing a semi-conservative cocktail dress and doing my own hair (probably just leaving it down) so there really aren't any issues with scheduling.
Any suggestions for my rant/rave? I haven't been to a prom in 5 years (mine when I was 18). I'm kind of regretting my decision to go now but I've already said yes, but I don't want to be a heartless bitch like his ex was...
Re: eek... going to a high school prom!
You can go? I thought there was an age limit for dates at prom? My by was 23 when I was 18, and he wasn't allowed to come to my prom.
Suggestions? I'd get drunk first. Really. Cause...I would not be able to handle hanging around high school girls for an entire night. I'd want to start ripping my hair out.

My ex-husband was 22 when he took me to my senior prom. He had a great time, actually got to use some of his ballroom dance lessons. I wound up hanging out with my friends' dates while all my friends were cutting loose with him on the dance floor, LOL!
Re: eek... going to a high school prom!
That's so nice of you to go with him!
When I was younger I had to go with a sort of geek to his prom for close to the same reason (his mom was friends with my mom).
I had the best time ever!!! Prom was lame, but he took me in a limo, had champagne waiting (this was a long time ago) then dancing in NYC and breakfast.
When I woke up the next evening, I found that red roses and a thank you card had been delivered.
Have fun with your dweeb...it could turn out to be a great night!

That's nice of you but I am not sure if it's a great idea....I can't say exactly why, but it seems...weird...
Re: eek... going to a high school prom!
I was thinking the same Mr Hyde, but it was kind of one of those moments I was pressured into and set myself up for. Hard to explain. Oh well though I might as well enjoy the food, but that might be the only thing to enjoy! AHH!
Re: eek... going to a high school prom!
'hey guys this is my date.. shes a stripper..'
Honestly though I think its super sweet of you... and a real ego trip for him lol.

Good thing he doesn't know that! }:D (or at least I hope he doesn't)
Student by day, stripper by night. Although it is summer break for me.
Re: eek... going to a high school prom!
Ahaha...
Now... are you coming to SWFest NYC?
Re: eek... going to a high school prom!
Nope, Memorial Day weekend and I'm a native New Jerseyan, so I'm pretty much required by law to go down to the "shore" (and by my friends).

So I'm going to SFNYC instead.

Agreed and unfortunately a lot of boys (and men) will confuse the nice gesture with thinking he has a chance to score.

If I were in your shoes, I'd be thinking, well hell, I act like my customers are hotshit all the time, so being this kid's status symbol should be a piece o' cake. He's probably not going to tip me, but then again, he's probably too shy to grab something he's not supposed to. (I'd make sure he felt too shy or else he's going to lose an appendage.)

You can feel like a teenager all over again...
Re: eek... going to a high school prom!
I'm so jealous!! I've been wanting to go to a prom since I was like 22...being almost 30 now, it's a little too late for me. Have a great time!
Re: eek... going to a high school prom!
Awww, have fun! That is sweet of you! I never got to go to prom. My "date" never showed up......yep, I got stood up. I was all dressed up with no place to go.
...So I wound up hittin' the bar(underage) with some other friends of mine. They dressed up too so I didn't look outta place!LOL!
Re: eek... going to a high school prom!
You're doing a good thing Rockette. You have a good heart. Hopefully, the kid will understand this and act like a gentlemen. Let us know how it goes ;-)
Re: eek... going to a high school prom!
i ended up in a very similar situation when i was 23...the boy in question was an 18 year old friend of a friend who had been totally picked on all through high school...his friends decided they were gonna set him up with a blind date for prom since he wasn't going to go...they all chipped in and bought me a gorgeous dress, new shoes, paid for me to get my hair and nails done, and i had a great time!
my own prom kind of sucked, 'cause i was still the fat awkward kid, and i really didn't do much to get dressed up for it, so it was nice to have a second chance
