I went to the prom with a friend and had a great time. It was fun getting dressed up and acting like.. a grownup... for the evening. It was so different from when we'd just hang out together. Yes, he ordered the corsage and I think you should too. If you're not sure what color or whatever, ask her.

Relax and have fun.

Here in NY a lot of prom goers rent limo's for the evening, but there's usually a few couples that share it and split the cost so it doesn't add up to that much money.

I disagree with this. It's his prom. He shouldn't have to leave early. That's not so say that he should just tell her to suck it up and deal. But if she's feeling uncomfortable, try to figure a way to make her feel more comfortable. There's no need to leave early when he's clearly been looking forward to it.

I have to wonder if the OP has ulterior motives on asking this "just friend" to the prom. If he does, he's in for some serious disappointment.

I do think it seems like he has a big time crush on her. Not so sure I would classify him asking her to the prom as having "ulterior motives" though. He's just a kid and seems like a really sweet guy. I hope he's not going to be seriously disappointed.

If there is one piece of advice I would give to young guys it would be this-

Be respectfully upfront with your intentions. It will make things a lot less confusing and prevent a lot of misunderstandings and disappointments in your life and in the lives of others with whom you come in contact.

Great advice for more "mature" guys, too. As well as for the ladies.

The reason that I suggested that the OP avoid blaring hard rock or rap music while transporting the young lady to and from the prom is because most girls like to feel at least a little like Cinderella on the big night. Music of those genres is hardly likely to set that kind of mood, and a good deal of the "lyrics" (I dislike using such a word about something so completely un-lyrical) can also be extremely sexist, violent and disrespectful to women.

Best avoided on prom night.

Be prepared for getting asked to the after prom parties. At my school, no one stayed at the actual dance for long. Everyone went to hotels for after parties, which got pretty scandalous! Now that I have kids I'm kind of horrified. Of course our parents thought we at the dance.

Thanks for clarifying. I wasn't sure what you meant because I wasn't even thinking of the violent lyrics at all. Now I understand what you meant and I totally agree with you.
