This last Saturday, I had the opportunity to go to Prom! Not just any Prom, though-- Junior Prom. My class did Promenade, and that may have been my favorite part of the entire day (no offense to anyone).
I'll be honest though- and for anyone who has yet to go on a Prom date- do NOT go with someone who is a) your complete opposite, or b) someone you know spending an entire day with them will get old. I'm familiar with the term "Opposites attract", but really you're going to want to have something in common! My date and I, though we are close friends, have absolutely nothing in common. I didn't even notice until we were on the date and I had absolutely nothing to say. We don't listen to the same music (I don't even think he listens to music), our senses of humor are different, he likes to climb stuff, I'm fine staying on the ground, and I'm so independent that he didn't even try to keep up with me on our hike! I love the guy, but really by the end of the day I was ready to be done.
Not to mention that the guy I had really, really wanted to ask me but hadn't was having a grand time with his date. I was happy for him (and her), but I couldn't help but wonder what my day would've been like had he asked me. I'm horrible, I know and I should be grateful I had a date! Don't worry- I am. I really am, but I think I'd spent a lot of energy dreaming up the perfect date with my choice of guy and it just didn't go how I planned.
Despite all the imperfections, I'm satisfied with very fond memories and of course I enjoyed feeling like a princess for a night!
