Junior Prom dinner suggestion

[fusnik]

This reads like a grapevine post...

I'm trying to be nice and tell kc that his search for a $30 meal that doesn't include Chilis 2 for $20 is a bad idea.

2 for $20 and he still has money left for chips and salsa!

I am more concerned with KC letting his son hang out with poor kids.

You hang with who you are most like.

la jolla groves at the gateway might be ok too. i can't really think of anywhere that's formal dance appropriate, not a chain, and <$30.

I think its weird, but that's what the kids do these days.

Haven't they always done that here? When I was a freshman at BYU one of the things that took me by surprise was how important it was to ask people to dances in creative ways...leaving things on doorsteps, baking cakes, scavenger hunts with clues, etc. The other was that seasonal dances seemed to involved lengthy, all-day commitments to include multiple activities. I think that is pretty common practice here and has been for quite some time.

We get a lot of things right in our culture, but the model for school dances is completely inefficient. Way too much work and involvement for low likelihood of sex at the end.

Agreed. I never did it in high school and I completed my last two years in utah. I was probably the only one though since it seemed so awkward to me.

I thought it was a lot of fun asking, getting asked, planning all day events.

I went boating, skiing, Lagoon, ATVing, just to name a few, that stuff was awesome.

Plenty of opps to get girls in bikinis, changing situations, alone time, plus if your date sucked you were still doing so,ething fun.. I thought it was awesome.

I loathed this practice in high school and wanted nothing more than to be able to ask someone face to face rather than waste a weekend thinking up/coordinating/executing some elaborate plan. I expressed this to pretty much anyone who would listen, and almost all girls disagreed. Not surprisingly, many girls felt like the extravagance of the asking scenario was reflective of how much the boy wanted her to be his date.

I mentioned this during class one day to a girl I really liked. She was a year younger than me, and this was the first/only class I'd ever had with her. She completely agreed with me, and went on an on about how she hated thinking up creative ways to ask/answer someone. A couple months later, I asked her to the February prom (we had Junior Prom in February and Senior Ball in May). I did it by going up to her while she was at her locker and asking her if she would go to prom with me. She was really awkward and acted like she didn't know if I wanted a response right then and there or if I wanted her to think about it. I told her "you can just say yes or no." She said yes.

Later that day she wrote me a note about how she didn't really think I was serious when I said I wanted to skip the pomp and circumstance, and she wondered if it would be ok if she still answered me in a "special" way. Thoroughly confused, but still wanting to go with her, I agreed. Turns out her mom was a bit of a head case, and it was her mom who couldn't handle that I hadn't done a big extravagant way to ask her, a junior, to her junior prom. When I picked her up for our date and met her mom for the first time, she mentioned at least 3 times how getting asked in fun ways is half the dance experience. I'm sure that lady is a real peach of a mother in law.

Because DDD wants to know, I did not have any sex at the end of that date.

I like the hedging aspect of this.

I warned my son to let it be known that any girl thinking of asking him out in an overly fussy fashion would (1) have to clean it up after, and (2) would be mocked.

The other women in the ward advised me to do this, or spend the day cleaning up packing pellets from the front porch or candy beebees from the lawn. His invitation was minimal, as was his acceptance.

I never asked a girl creatively to anything in High School and I got lucky after both dances. Further support for your position. Of course, this was in New Jersey. Everybody got lucky after every dance. Jersey girls are easy.
