The only good prom date left for me...

Reply #30
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...

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.

Yeah I wasent too cool for school, it was to cool for me. I never really got along with anyone and was a nerd. After school was over, everything was alot better and I got along with alot more people
Kids in school were just stupid for the most part.

I honestly dont think you could exceed the cost of a new car buy installing new *stock* parts everywhere in your coug our tbird. Its just plain impossible. You could revamp the entire drivetrain/engine/suspenstion and still come out ahead.

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! :evilgrin:

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

You're so cute together, thanks for sharing the pix. 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:

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 .

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:)

Some of these storys could qualify for jerry springer!-wow. 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.

I'm not THAT old, but over the years I have learned that everyone has at least one Jerry story and that we all have friends or relatives that we swear must've been on a recent episode!:rollin:

I've seen a rich man beg
I've seen a good man sin
I've seen a tough man cry
I've seen a loser win
And a sad man grin
I heard an honest man lie
I've seen the good side of bad
And the down side of up
And everything between
I licked the silver spoon
Drank from the golden cup
Smoked the finest green
I stroked daddies dimes at least a couple of times
Before I broke their heart
You know where it ends
Yo, it usually depends on where you start
