Promposals are elaborate, prom dresses are very expensive, and now, instead of wearing corsages, the girls are carrying bouquets of flowers and wearing garters. Proms are looking more like weddings!<br /><br />I'm glad proms are over for us after this year, but it was nice having my daughters' dates asking them to prom in sweet and simple ways (clever saying on a poster, airbrush tshirt).

One girl had junker cars taken to her boys house and set on the lawn, "I'd die to go w/ you to Prom".

Maybe it's bringing chivalry back? That Craigslist ad is ridiculous! I hope that mom does a background check, if she's going to all that trouble. Seems really superficial to me, since she states all the girls are trim and the boys need to be taller than 6 ft.

It can get out of hand though. where I grew up it was expected to ask like this for every dance. It would have been weird to call and ask someone over the phone or face to face. and from personal experience it did not lessen the chance of getting turned down. in some ways maybe it made it easier, because you can still ask in a big creative way and not talk face to face.<br /> I think the ad for a date is crazy and ridiculous. It's going way to far. I never went to Prom and really I'm not upset about it.Rob and Emmaleehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00799855805609798821noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4110077978481953569.post-19008690423433617392012-05-09T11:34:43.645-07:002012-05-09T11:34:43.645-07:00Our oldest grandson whet to his first Prom this pa...Our oldest grandson whet to his first Prom this past weekend. His asking her was a big deal and I loved it. He took flowers, went into her class, wore a t-shirt he had made telling her how amazing she is and asked her to prom! I think it teaches young men that women worth the prom and marriage do not come from a quick phone call or asking at the lockers like a second thought. It takes time, thinking about it and it takes planing..all things most young men need to learn to someday be a good husband. It helps young men to understand how women are worth the time and effort if she is "the one" for the prom or someday for marriage. As for cost it was a few hundred not $1800.<br />As for the ad....I am thinking those girls are about to die!! I know my grand daughters that age hate to have their parents oversea the dates so I guessing its a joke. And where I come from paying for a date is not a date..but you know where I am going with that one.<br />Love the site!Carolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03887463759185595253noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4110077978481953569.post-49334284476293682272012-05-09T10:01:03.512-07:002012-05-09T10:01:03.512-07:00i think i like the big asking but the advertising ...i think i like the big asking but the advertising for date now come on really??Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00048648583828281903noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4110077978481953569.post-44228973245916981472012-05-09T08:40:14.929-07:002012-05-09T08:40:14.929-07:00I heard on the news the other day that the average...I heard on the news the other day that the average cost for a date to the prom (I am assuming it is the total amount spent by both the boy and the girl) is something crazy like 1800.00!

Both in asking and answering and both boys and girls choice dances. That was do much fun thinking of fun ways to ask. I once got a guess who game board and printed off pages from my year book and glued them onto the faces and had clues so that the picture of me was the last one standing. I thought I was pretty clever. No one really just simply asked if you wanted to go to the dance. So this isn't really new to me. However, putting out a Craigslist ad is nuts. I wonder if her daughter knows she did that or if it was her idea?Christenehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10526784200636472968noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4110077978481953569.post-18150919406688640822012-05-08T18:23:19.192-07:002012-05-08T18:23:19.192-07:00I actually like the trend of making a big deal to ...I actually like the trend of making a big deal to ask someone to Prom. I feel like with all of the technology out there, our kids are losing a lot of the face to face interaction. It is a courting ritual and I don't think it hurts to make a big deal about asking someone to a special occasion. it makes THEM feel special.<br /><br />Now the COST of Prom...that is another thing all togehter! :PLoriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09947263564415195104noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4110077978481953569.post-663755368722603542012-05-08T17:34:30.855-07:002012-05-08T17:34:30.855-07:00I'm really, seriously thinking about home scho...I'm really, seriously thinking about home schooling my kids.
