My prom is tonight... I'll show you where all the money went.

Prom Tickets = (2) $75 = $150
Limo = (2) $50 = $100
Hotel Room = $150
Tux = $125
Corsage = $25
Prom Pictures - $50
Other (Alcohol, Etc.) - $100

$700 man... $700! For one night... this better be worth it!


sorry to say i doubt it will be.

whats all this bs about who pays what? you each buy your own tickets. the guy could be traditional and pay for the dinner, but other than that, you each cover your own expenses. in the ops case, when everything is already included, you each pay for your own ticket. its that simple. you really think she is expecting to pay your way?

its a single price- lot more expensive to buy singles instead of the couple price. and the dinners included.

You've got to be really careful about this kind of things,
true story
A friend of mine went to our high school's prom last year, and was asked by a hot girl who was way out of his league. He was pretty much blinded by this, and paid for everything. As soon as they hit prom, she was gone, later to be seen dancing with another guy for most of the night. My buddy got burned really bad, to the tune of almost 500 bucks.


So, only do it if you're sure.

Your poor friend learned the lesson the hard way. Women will take any warm body that can put on a tux and pay for things to the prom. The prom is horsesh|t, any male not going with his SO should avoid it. Its just a recipe to get used.

Women asking you to the prom != women liking you. It just means they're reasonably sure you're not the kind of guy who will rape them in the woods when they get into a car with you. Nothing more.


agreed.

when a girl asks a guy, 9/10 times its because shes desperate and no one "better" has asked her first. the guy is used for the excuse of dressing up pretty and having pics to cherish forever.
 
I forgot to mention, hotel room was her idea... so yeah. And it looks like she is gonna pay for the prom pictures and she already bought some alcohol... woot.
