I asked her to prom...girls need help

---

hey so i asked this girl to senior prom today and she said yea, but the thing is i asked her in front of her friend and my friend. Later online i apologized for putting her on the spot like that and that its just us 2 now and asked her if she really wanted to go, she said it was ok and that she'd think about it and tell me later may i add shes a sophmore... now what is it she's thinking about? Whether or not to go w/ me? Does she have to get her parents permission first? Is she waiting for another guy to ask her? girls help me out here, thanks.

If I were in her position, I'd be thinking about all those things you mentioned, plus the cost of everything. I think I spent upwards of $1500 on my prom. Maybe you should ask her what she's thinking about and if there's anything you can do to help her.

well she's an underclassmen so i dont think she should be going all out, and id be paying for her ticket. the only thing she would have to chip in for would be the limo.

Typical guy, lol. She's got to get her hair and nails done. And get a dress, and shoes, and accessories.

lol, yea i forgot about that. When u were asked...did u know the person was gonna ask u or did u get surprised?

I never really got asked to my senior prom. I went with my boyfriend and it was just a given that we would go together.When I was a freshman a senior asked me, and I turned him down. That was because my parents wouldn't let me go, and because I thought he only wanted one thing at the time.

What a gentleman! Making your date pay for anything, let alone the limo when you want her to go with you! Pretty pathetic if you ask me!

what are u talking about? Im paying for the ticket if she says yes. What? do i have to pay for the dress,nails,hair,make up,spa treatment?

Remember, you want her to go with you. And what gentleman lets a girl pay for anything?

that seems so desperate...plus im friends w/ this girl and shes one of those independent chicks that doesnt need help.

What seems desperate? You are asking her to go, so you should pay for all of the expenses. And just because "independant" doesn't mean she needs to pay for herself.

i see...looks like Me Myself and I's boyfriend wasnt to gentlemanly seeing she spent up to $1500.

Sounds like two deadbeats in a pod. Even still you should pay for her portion of the limo. Why should she have to pay to ride with you?

yeah im paying for the limo too, my bad on that part before. Sorry im not rich like you to pay for everything Mr. Beverly Hills

Then get a job ot pay for it!

i do have a job...which most of it goes to car insurance and a cell phone bill...ne ways enough of this, ne more girl POVs?

I don't think you have to pay for everything. Pay for the limo, the tickets and the dinner. She can pay for the dress, hair, shoes, etc. No guy I know paid entirely for the woman when I was in high school. That's ridiculous.

I agree, the guy should pay for the ticket and the limo. Thats kind of tacky to ask her to split the cost of the limo. As far as the dress, hair, etc, she should pay the majority of the cost, but you should be willing to help her out. The reason I spent so much money is because I chose to. I wanted a particular dress, hairstyle, accesories, etc. That money was for things I wanted to have. My boyfriend still bought the tickets, paid for after prom, and rented the car. As independent as she may be, it is still your prom.

Paying for everything is crazy! She is the one who needs to buy her dress, shoes, nails, ect. The only thing you should pay for is the ticket, dinner, and the limo. I paid for my date's dinner and ticket (I'm the one who invited him so I didn't think he needed to pay for it). Good luck man! ^_^

In reply to:Then get a job ot pay for it!Let's see...he could get a second job at $6 per hour. He'd have to quit school because there'd be no time left for class, and with tax withholding, it would probably take him no more than two months to make the $1500 needed to pay for everything. Or you could just sell your spare tire and finance it, Beverly Hills guy.Seriously, isn't there a more economical way to do this? It sounds like it would be cheaper and less hassle just to marry the girl and go on a honeymoon. Is there any way to spend less on clothing? Is there any reasonable alternative to a limousine? Can you get together with other folks and share a limo? How can non-rich people afford this?Lot's of families barely have enough money for gas, rent, clothes, and food. They just don't get to party or what?
