Prom: Who pays for what?

[Rock_Solid]

Me and my friends all have different opinions on who pays for what when it comes to prom. I think that if your taking a girl from your grade and school, she pays her own way, but some of my friends think I should still pay.

So, who pays for what?

 

[howardalex]

she pays her way and tell your mates they're pussies

sht dude, if it's not 50/50 then fck that, guys usually pay double what girls pay for their dresses to rent the tux. heres a convo from my friend who wanted to ask a guy from college to prom:

girl: i wana ask my friend from college to prom
me: that's cool, are you paying for his ticket?
girl: wtf! no, why should i!
me: uhhh because tuxes are like triple the price of your dress
girl: wth my dress is only 60 bucks, aren't tuxes like 40 dollars to rent?
me:... HELL NO the tux alone is going to be upward of 80 bucks (my prom tux was 110 total i think)

 

[howardalex]

she shouldn't pay for his ticket either! pay for what you use, you pay for your ticket and tux, she pays for her dress and ticket...maybe buy her a drink at the start of the night but that's it!

you need to step into the guy's shoes, he has to fly/drive down 2 hours for a prom where everyone else is at least 1-2 years younger than he is, he then has to rent a tux/whatever. i would expect the girl to at least pay for my ticket, and i would expect the same from a girl if i asked a underclassmen or someone out of high school

ah didn't know about the flight involved....if they're in the same year then he should get his own

 

[Kev07]

well a drive would be a lil over 2 hours, flying would probably not be likely, but yeah if you're in the same year, definetely pay for own stuff

This is another reason why I refuse to go to dances...

But my take on things...

Tickets: You
Dress: Her
"Tux": You
Limo if you take one: Split
Food: Talk that one over, I personally would pay, but thats because I enjoy it.
Condoms: You

"Tux": You
Limo if you take one: Split WITH A GROUP OF FRIENDS

Condoms: You

hotel room: you
breakfast: its you again

but prom is ONCE so if you do it, try to make it fun

ahhhhh prom was so fun!!!! pay for both tickets, dsnt matter, have a good time! especially if u know ur getting laid. my toast was "to all who are getting some tonight". i had that place in a roar

So they have prom in Ireland? Wow, must be an Anglophile sort of thing. Funny how ugly girl countries seem to embrace such silly rituals. I swear the UK/Ireland should just join North America. Canada has a bunch of empty space. Maybe separate the Catholics from the Protestants this time. We might save some lives in the process.

Prom is a joke. Another reason why I wouldn't raise a child in America (or the UK/Ireland).

Ok, so it's pretty much agreed that if she's in the same class she pays, but if she's not then I should pay for the ticket. But the friggin limo is like 200 a person, i guess I would have to pay for that if she wasn't from my class...

Eh, let her MAKE you breakfast...

I have a GREAT way to make the girl pay for everything. Listen carefully man!

1) Tell her about the prom. But don't say you're going. (I'm assuming you're dating someone)

2) She will want to go. Pretend you don't want to go. Tell her you're out of cash. Say the IRA raided your house and confiscated everything. Or you invested your life savings into Norwegian whale life insurance.

3) Since women seem to have an unnatural obssession with going to proms, she will pay for you. Tada!

This will make you look like a cheap bastard, but who cares, its high school!
