So, May's coming around and since I can't be tagged as the nerd, I need a date for prom. You know anyone who'd like to take a free-minded gal like myself?
Probably not. High school is such a drag with the familiar setting of couples lined up outside classrooms to hug and kiss one last time before sending each other off to the trenches of "the big and almighty math exam." I just don't get it! Even prom is becoming the ultimate fear for me. The girl who looks any AP class in the eye and will duel with it, afraid of a mere week of announcements filled with "Don't forget to take care of your saturday schools and buy your prom tickets for $90 a couple" and the "What shall I wear? Is he going to ask me out or what? You two are totally cute together, he has to ask you out" speeches. Ok, maybe I don't have reasonable ground for complaining, but please high school isn't supposed to be groundwork for how many girl- or boy-friends you can dump this week.
I'm coming to hate couples more and more with each passing day. Don't get me wrong, I'm all for the "I've got someone by my side" thing, it's the "must act like someone else to get liked" deal that bothers me.
Recently one friend of mine got dumped and now she's wondering what she should do. Hmm, let me think...Maybe function like a normal human being! I mean I don't understand why people have to give up so much of theirselves just to make the other person fall in love with them. And then once the other person falls out of love, whose left to pick up the broken pieces of your heart?????
Relationships are complicated they tell me. You need to share and love a person in order to be their girlfriend or boyfriend. But lately it just seems like a who can stick their tongue further down their "soulmates" throat. Gross image, I know...But it's true.
And yes, I have been in relationships myself, and no I'm not a slavedriver and again no, they weren't gay! I just don't get the irrational thoughts of having to lose weight and wear this dress or get to third base in order to have someone love you.
Where I'm concerned, the guy had better fall in love with me before he attempts to even ask me out.

I think a lot of high school relationships are stupid. Sure, there are some that last, and couples that go on to get married, start a family, etc. But really. Most of the relationships I know of in my highschool are basically based on sex.
I agree with you. Relationships in high school USUALLY are experimentation and for sex only or "friends-with-benefits." There are those rare couples who go on to get married, but for the most part, high school couples are stupid (like you said).
I think this prom thing is a problem for people that take prom very seriously as the pinnacle of romance, or something. At my school, prom is more laid back. Girls have girl dates that are friends, not lesbian. People go stag. Everyone at prom hangs together in a huge group until dates don't even matter anymore. It's more of a friend gathering, a social graduation more than a date formal night.
Thats a sweet post, i like you already! Can i take you to Prom? Actly i already have a girl friend she probbly wouldnt like that so....But i really like your post and beleave the same thing, I was good friends with my girlfriend before we decided to go out rather then just me asking her out. I still and she still remains inpependent of each other but were still in love and thats the way it should be.
I'm JDS and i support this post!
I love this entry. I was about to do one myself! But anyway, I also do not like seeing so many couples down the halls of my school making out and cuddling like it's no one else's business!
Get a room!
I really don't understand how people have to change themselves in order for a girl or a guy to like them. Yes, we are all shallow in some way, but a person does not need to look like a particular person or to act like a particular person to have someone like them.
I believe prom dates are hard to find if you don't have someone, but you can always go with your friends! I hope you find someone to go with though! I love what you said about where a guy better fall in love with you before he asks you out (or atleast show some interest more than s-e-x!) SOME boys/girls are so shallow and only want boys/girls for their own satisfaction which is so sickening! To me, relationships are supposed to be meaningful.
I agree! I've had many an insecure friend change herself (for the worse, in my opinion) in order to get the attention of a certain guy. Ah, high school relationships.. unchartered territory!
And as for the title of your blog- go HERE!

Don't worry, it's not inappropriate at all. Just a girl asking some guy to prom in a very .. interesting fashion. Enjoy!
Oh my! That's is very..um...original. Truly, I think the grandma was a better dancer haha! No, I thought the whole video was cool in that most guys probably would get freaked out and only if he really cares about her and likes that personality will he go with her.
I hope she got her date!
I agree with your post. Many relationships are purely based on appearance and sex. Those relationships don't last. People grow and get old, fat, or ugly, and then what do you do?
I am in a relationship myself. My boyfriend and I are in love, but not because of how we look to each other. We enjoy each other's company by just being together and talking. I think that's what many couples these days lack---conversation. People are so busy sticking their tongues down someone's throat that they forget to talk and get to know more about that person.
As far as prom, the ones that believe that it will be the highest point in their life, and/or if they don't have a date and/or don't go have very low expectations about their lives. Prom is just a high school dance. Just go and have fun. Don't make it out to be what it's not.

Prom SUCKS it was a waste of a weekend. I could have gone out with a couple of friends go to a movie and eat and that would much more enjoyable than prom. Prom is a time where girls compete to look better than the other girl its retarted and pointless. And the prom date is usually all cranky and annoying the entire time and at the end of it all you are in a big fight with the prom date. DONT GO TO PROM WASTE OF MONEY AND TIME!!!
Not from first hand experience, but from what I've heard.
I didn't have the opportunity to go to Prom, cuz I was homeschooled.
At this very moment, somewhere a committee is deciding your life, only you weren't invited
