The only good prom date left for me... Reply #30 – May 07, 2006, 12:21:39 AM I'm a pretty shy/anti-social person, and as it turned out my now girlfriend was actually trying to hook me for her best friend, her best friend found another guy at the time, and she wound up falling for me. She's my first girlfriend ever (I'm 18, yeah I know) and our first "date" was a lunch date on Nov. 24, 2004, it's been almost a year and a half now that we've been together. There've been some hard times, and we have some differences in thought, but I've never experienced anything like this, and after this long I still feel the way I did back then about her, just not so scared!I went to two dances with her, one where she received a special honor (a Debutante Ball, first I've ever heard of it) and the Senior Prom at her high school (never went to the one at my high school). It was hard on me in a way because I'm not very social, but I'll do pretty much anything for this young woman. Everything I do with her is the time of my life!I have some pics, too! Even a goofy pic of me dressed up for prom...She's older than me too believe it or not! She's 19. I know, she's tiny, 110 pounds.Here we are together:Yes, we're an unlikely couple if you don't know us, but it seems to work great. Anyway, now that I've bored you... Quote Selected

The only good prom date left for me... Reply #32 – May 07, 2006, 01:14:08 AM As you can see I'm all about the traditional tux... :D I even own that one, though I think I need to do something about the pants. If you check with your YWCA they have a bridal shop sometimes apparently within (the one here does anyway) and they get stuff in sometimes that you can get really reasonably, so I just bought the pants and coat and such and then got a shirt somewhere. Anyway, way off topic but I thought some of you might want to know, so you don't have to rent.Anyway, I didn't even take her to prom in the TC, it's just not nice enough and too loud, hehe. I took the 97 Camry, which is actually a very nice car. Quote Selected

After school was over, everything was alot better and I got along with alot more peopleKids in school were just stupid for the most part. Quote Selected
The only good prom date left for me... Reply #35 – May 07, 2006, 03:14:04 AM Some good readin' here...I too didn't go to my junior/senior proms, but did go with the wife to both of hers...the proms weren't too bad in their own right, but the parties afterwards sure made up for it! Yeah, Darkthunder, i had a 10 year class reunion last year myself..didn't go though, I never fit in with others (go figure)I'd rather be by myself, or in a (very) small group, and probably half drunk to even stand it...just don't like crowds, i guess. :D Quote Selected

She's beautiful!I had way too many issues in high school to have time for boyfriends so I tried to have a no-hassle prom date with a cute guy-friend of mine, but the jacka$$ went and broke his arm and had to go for surgery the night before prom so he backed out. My best friend hooked me up with her boyfriend's best friend. He was an okay guy, but he just had a way of always ' me off. I bought the tickets, he didn't want to spend any $ on dinner so we ate at prom :yuck: , then we went back to my friends house and got seriously drunk. What a class act I was, puckin' in my prom dress and saying "please, make it go away!" :toilet: :giggle: Quote Selected
The only good prom date left for me... Reply #37 – May 07, 2006, 05:41:13 PM That dude in the white tux is just too funny:giggle:. Yeah I went to my friend's sister's prom last night. It was boring as hell. I never realized how stupid it was untill now since I've been out of high school for two years. It's so overblown and full of girls trying to out do each other. After prom we went on a boat on Lake Michigan for 2 hours, it was 40* last night and we were on water. Great fun. My girlfriend did decide to call me half way through prom to make fun of me for going to prom which in a way was a good thing. It got me out of dancing for 15 minutes:D . Quote Selected

The only good prom date left for me... Reply #39 – May 07, 2006, 11:43:59 PM my senior prom was the lasttime i hung out with one of my best friends. after that she got realy heavy into drugs and we havent realy talked since. last i heard she got married just to piss her parents off. prom was great but i hate thinking about it because it remindes me of how stupid some people can become. oh and my truck did get the best cleaning it has ever gotten. i spent 3 days after school cleaning. i even took the seat and carpet out to clean it all the way:) Quote Selected

I agree with eric as well. i didnt go to my seinor prom either. It just wasnt important to me, throwing the after party was:) I think alot of ppl overdue the whole prom process making it out to be so important. Like some of you have said, once your outta school for a while you realize how irrelavent it really is. Quote Selected
