Thank the person for asking you to prom, then let them down gently. “Thank you, but I have other plans,” or, “I’m flattered you asked, but I’m not interested in going to prom with you,” are both direct but polite ways of turning someone down. Sometimes the other person can get annoyed or defensive after a rejection.

Too many women don’t learn to ask for what they want romantically until well into adulthood. Asking him to prom now will let you practice being assertive about your dating life (and, you know, increases the chances of you going with a date you want).

If you’re planning to do something of a “promposal” then yes, test the waters over text to make sure you’re on the same page. Just ask what she’s doing for prom — don’t actually ask her out. Be casual but not flippant, and don’t do it out of the blue.

As long as he’s not dating anyone, you should feel free to just ask him. If he says no, don’t take it personally.

So, I’d say that no more than eight weeks and no less than six weeks before the big night is just the right amount of time. If you ask someone to prom with too much time in advance… say three months or more, you’ll run the risk of losing interest in each other (trust me, I’ve seen this happen).

Yes, you can, but all non-SCHS Prom dates MUST be approved. Remember, your date can not be currently suspended from their high school.

Technically yes they are allowed to go. If a senior is bringing a freshman to prom it is looked down upon. The age gap in high school between those 4 years is a major no-no.

California: “All girls need to send a picture of themselves in their prom dress to administration in order to be allowed into prom. Any girl who did not send in a picture of themselves in the dress will not be allowed in and will be turned away at the door.”

Yes, you absolutely can. You just need paperwork from your school to do so. I went to my girlfriend’s prom, and I plan to take her to my homecoming.

It is a fancy, formal dance held by high schools. It occurs in the spring, and only seniors can go(12th graders, pretty much 17–18 year olds). The only exception is if you are a freshman or older (9th grade and up, so at least probably 14 years old), but up to 20 years old.

There may be individual junior (11th grade) and senior (12th grade) proms or they may be combined. At a prom, a “prom king” and a “prom queen” may be revealed. These are honorary titles awarded to students elected in a school-wide vote prior to the prom. Other students may be honored with inclusion in a prom court.

In high school, 17- or 18-year-old students in their final year are represented by a king or queen; in college, students who are completing their final year of study, usually between 21 and 23 years old. Local rules determine when the homecoming king and queen are crowned.

First, the obvious difference: The two dances come at different times of the year. While prom often marks the beginning of spring and the end of the school year, homecoming, which often takes place in September or October, doubles as a kind of welcome back to school.

The Romantic Ball Gown If you won’t feel comfortable in a jumpsuit or a fitted dress, don’t fret – classic ball gowns are in too. Prom 2020 will be aflutter with conventional A-line silhouettes across the country. This pretty, romantic style will make you feel dressed-up and formal, just like a queen.

You become prom queen generally by becoming a part of the prom court. Prom court members are usually elected into this role, and each school may have different methods for this. Once you’re a part of the prom court, another round of elections will take place. Prom court is always chosen by the students.

Seniors are talking about Prom and Prom Royalty. Please keep in mind that Prom Royalty is a little different than Homecoming Royalty. It’s all about celebrating those who have served the class, school, and/or community during their SENIOR year!

In actuality, Prom is just a glorified school dance with dinner. If you’re not into school dances, don’t go. You might regret going if you do. However, if you have the slightest interest in the school dance, then go.

Popular demand from students led to the birth of a prom night culture in IIT Bombay (IITB) and IIT Gandhinagar (IITGN) last year. While IITB has restricted prom night entry to only 4th year students, IITGN is the only IIT which has kept the floor open to students of all years.

Proms in the Philippines are famous for Students in High School. Prom usually takes place in the junior and senior years of high school, which is normally around February or March. Proms are commonly known as “JS Prom”, or, junior–senior prom.

Usually, they get to take the first dance at prom (with or without their “court”– those who were nominated for the honor but did not win). The king and queen also take pictures together, and sometimes take another picture with their court.

Prom is approaching, and while you might feel like you need to find a date, it’s totally fine to go to prom without one. While most people didn’t regret skipping prom, some people skipped because they didn’t have a date, and later, they wished they’d gone.

Prom can be one big platonic party, and you can certainly go with someone just as friends. You just have to set some boundaries for yourself. First off, you need to tell this guy upfront that you will go with him, but just as friends.
