Tonya's thread about winning a second prom gave me an idea for a new thread... let stalk about our proms. The good, the bad, the Oh-My-God stories!!!

I'll go first:
I was incredibly shy in highschool. I also had a huge crush on this one boy. One day, a mutual friend mentioned that he wanted to ask me to the prom. Inside I was jumping with delight... outside I said, "Gee, I've never thought about it. Sure, why not?" He never asked me (I guess he was hoping for yes, yes, yes!!!) A few weeks before prom, he asked my other friend. I had asked a coworker friend (a college boy ooh-la-la) if he'd go with me but his girlfriend wouldn't let him.. I said we'd go just as friends. He knew I had no romantic interest in him but his girlfirend didn't believe him.

Two weeks before the prom and I still didn't have a date. I was ready to go stag. I didn't care. One night my best friend was talking to her brother who was going to college in Texas. He was appalled that I had no date and called me that night to ask me to my prom.

He skipped his Friday classes to fly into Pennsylvania and take me to my prom and flew back to Texas on Sunday. He was my night in shining armor. I had the BEST time at my prom while all of my friends broke up with their boyfriends during the prom. He dropped me off and gave me a sweet little kiss on the cheek. Sigh... he was such a gentleman!

And my highschool crush? He and my other friend had a horrendous time. He sat at the table watching with jealousy as my date and I had the time of our lives.
