I never viewed prom as a big deal, yeah it was fun to dress up and do something different but that's about it. My friends were the same way.
I barely remember either prom and it's not something I talked about or thought about much.
My male cousin is 2 years older than me, he went to both proms with girls he was very casual with. I can't remember if he (his mom) bought them corsages, I don't think he did, and I know he didn't get them any sort of gift. He did pay for the limo and tickets though.
I'd guess her son is already spending over $500 on prom ($200-300 for the tickets, at least $200 for the limo, $150 for the tux).
In a way it's cheaper for the girl, at least she has the option to do things cheaper if she wants. |
My girl gene must be broken too. I don't remember caring for a corsage at the winter formal. I got one from my date but I seriously hated having to wear it. It was uncomfortable, and none of my friends had one. I was so embarrassed to be the only one! Thinking back, (11 years ago) I should have just appreciated that my date went through the trouble of getting me anything. It's the thought that counts right?
PS The boy from my winter formal ended up being my first boyfriend. He did not go to the prom with me. I went with a girlfriend as she and I had planned to go together for over a year. We had the absolute best time! I didn't feel any of those dreaded prom night pressures. I know I was an awful girlfriend to that poor guy. I only dated him because my squad thought there was something wrong with me because I wasn't boy crazy like the rest of them.
