Prom is around the corner for most people. The widely known tradition is for the boys to think of elaborate ideas to ask the girls to the dance. Nowadays, more and more boys are getting shy and/or lazy and stopped doing this. Well, atleast my school is like that.
I think the guys in my school aren't all the type to dance, but the experience of prom and the memories are so much better than just dancing. Other than the fact that prom could get expensive, why don't a lot of people just go to prom? It wouldn't be that great on your wallet if you went "stag."
I heard about a thing called mrop where the girls ask the guys to prom. (get it? it's backwards!) Does that mean the girls have to pay for the tickets and stuff? I think it would be a cool idea because girls are usually more creative about asking people than the guys tend to be..
What do you think?

i think it would be a good idea to have two dances.... because many girls and guys are too shy to ask anyone out. Also, it is very unlikely that they will replace prom with mrop... just saying! haha :)
Our school has a winter formal where the girls ask the guys, and then a traditional prom in the spring.
prom is so very much overrated.
I'd have to agree. Maybe it's just because I didn't have a date this year and decided it wouldn't have enjoyed it anyway.

Why would you spend all that money? I didn't go to prom or homecoming and I don't regret it at all.
I know some people find these things important so by all means enjoy your dance. But why should either the guy or girl pay so much money. In my affluent area people go all out. 200+ dollar dresses, limos/fancy cars, expensive restaruant, professional pictures, an extra evening the night before and on top of that ultra expensive tickets!
When I was about to go to Homecoming my junior year (before the girl canceled)... we were going to go to dinner and then trick or treat (it was on Halloween). Personally sounds a lot more fun and a lot cheaper.
But hey... if that's what you want to spend your money on... I'm not one to judge.
Maybe girls should just ask guys either way. Some girls are too shy to ask a guy to prom or "mrop" and the same goes for shy guys. Encouragement should just be given out to both sexes in order to get more people to go.
Isn't that what Sadie Hawpkins is for? We have one of those in March but it's no where near the stress of prom. It's completely casual (last years theme was your favorite superhero couples, and the year before that was pjs, and before that was cowboys and girls, etc) and very inexpensive- at least by our schools standards. Tickets are $15 per person and it's held in our gym. I think the money goes for prom and decorations of the dance. Prom is the big deal at our school though- its intensely expensive and a huge deal. But I dont want to write anymore about this because I'm going to go make a blog on it right now-( i have a nasty habit of doing this)
I dont know, I like when guys ask the girls. It's traditional and that is how prom is supposed to be. I think alot of guys dont ask because they are scared, not because they dont like dancing.
I agree, I like it when the guys ask the girls to go with them.. I like some things to stay traditional.
i'm going to have the time of my life this year at prom. Haha, i was told I have to go to prom- and i didn't even have a choice by my date (i'm a guy!). For all these people that say prom is overrated- get off your high horse and just go and have a good time man, relax, go up on the dance floor, and hit on every single hot chick in the room (if your g/f isn't there that is!)
Haha, but seriously, i think whoever is the more daring should just go ahead and ask, guy or girl, it really doesn't matter.

prom has become extremely expensive...my daughter's senior prom was supposed to be less costly than last year's but wasn't! They had to pay separately for anything besides water to drink, had no choice of the menu....and for $45 per person, the "gifts" weren't worth it, nor the meal...I make my daughter's dresses (last year's and this year's) so they are unique, by her request....but her hs is goofy anyway....the middles school has several dances a year, but the hs only has prom....this year they had a homecoming dance, but it was for the whole town and completely casual...in the streets.....ahhh, to go back in time.......
Sadie Hawkins is where girls ask guys.
Where I went to high school, girls asked guys anyways. It was just a matter of having the courage to do it. The guys didn't pay for everything in most cases, either. Most couples split the cost. Then again, I came from a very poor area where just paying for your own prom could be a challenge.
