Prom Tix: Pay for or don't?!

[j8snx1]

Okay so I'm with this one girl (freshman) at the moment. I have been thinking about asking/taking her to the prom but one thing that kinda questions me the most is... should I pay, or HELP pay, for her prom tix if she says yes, or not?

I have this little principle that I will not spend much, or none at all, on a girl that I won't have any relationship with. That idea has kept me from doing AFC things like paying for the girl when we're just friends hanging out, etc. However, now that I am in a relationship with the freshman girl, I'm kinda stuck in the mud here; should I at least help pay for her prom ticket now that we're entering the relationship world...

...or should I just let her pay for her own stuff while I take her to the night of her life?

I know you guys may have answered these questions already/before, but it would really help me out a lot if you guys gave me some feedback so I don't have to ask something like this again in the future.

I've always been led to believe that if you go with someone OUT of your grade then YOU pay, however if your a senior and you take a senior then you 2 SPLIT the tickets and all that good stuff. So in your specfic situation I'd say you would have to pay for her.

Hmm, well, since you're in highschool. She's a freshman. She's probably shallow, since she's a freshman. They seem to be shallow in my opinion. It's fine if you want to pay, as long as you got the cash. And the principle behind not paying is that you're not trying to buy her attention. But since you're a junior or senior, you could probably pay without it being that big a deal. Plus, she's probably infatuated with you anyway. She is a freshman anyway.

Yes





No



What does it matter what other people think? Form an opinion of your own before you try to be molded into a person that you are not.


If you think in your case you should pay, then pay.

If you think that you shouldn't, then DONT!


It's not that BIG of a deal.

All of you guys that are starting new threads based on your specific situation, you aren't helping your DJ skills.

First off: The questions are just.....well, just look at them. I mean, c'mon.

Second: With the advice you are given, you are only getting the fish.

You aren't being taught how to fish.

What would you rather do:

1) Depend on someone to give you the fish?
2) Learn how to fish.

Actually learning how to fish is more benificial to YOU, than being given the fish!


Do you want to learn how to fish?

Make an identity for yourself and think on your own.

Why don't you tell us what YOU think you should do. Then we will discuss it.

But if she is from a different school, you should pay for both. Buying at the door would be a bit awkward in this situation.

It depends what kind of peron she is!! Sometimes girls like to par for they own. Sometime they exept guys to pay for em, And some just share the price in half@@ What u should do is take her out to date and see what kind of person she is out of those 3! good luck

 

[j8snx1]

I had taken her out on a date a few days back and she seems to be the split the price in half type of girl, but not entirely. I paid for the food, she paid for the coffee, and ironically they came out same price, and she also had the tendency to pay for her own stuff as well. I think my plan will be to just ask her to prom, and if she says yes and doesn't argue/mention anything about money probs then I'll just leave it be. If she starts hesitating and her reason is money issues, then I'll help her pay for it.

Otherwise, I'm good to go!
thanks guys

Yes pay... it's prom do you think the chick has the money to pay for everything. Their dresses cost more than 300 bucks, when I went to prom freshmen year I paid for the tickets, transportation and party. It's sometimes good to be a gentlemen and show some class. Make sure they don't get used to you paying for everything.

--Men: Tickets, Transportation, Clothes (rent a tux for no more than 40 or so), Corsage (for the girl 5-50)

--Women: Dresses (50-500, i've seen), Photos (These run up pretty high), Boutonniere (for the guy 5-50), Accessories

--Dinner, you can decide whether you want to pay, or split the check, but make sure it's 1. previously discussed and agreed upon- or 2. You have enough money to cover both of you just in case.

That's pretty much the rundown for any particularly formal school dance like Prom, Homecoming, Winter Ball, etc.

haha thanks damian for the rundown. however:

a) i don't have a car! I'm gonna try asking around and see if my buddies have room for 2 more in a limo...otherwise im planning to get her to meet me there..(which sounds pretty lame, but that's what i had to do for homecoming)
b) where do you buy a corsage?
c) i remember in my homecoming there was food and drink already prepared at the hotel, so food i wont have to worry so much.
d) i completely forgot to get photos during HC; now i dunno whether you pay the money upfront or you bring the money/picture order on the night of the dance. anybody know?

any DJ's welcome to answer! thanks in advance

You can buy a corsage at any floral store, even king soopers has them where they sell flowers. And I wouldnt depend upon the food at prom, its pretty traditional to take the girl out to dinner beforehand.
