Homecoming is coming up and apparently the boy cant just ask the girl to go with him, but he has to come up with some sort of clever idea. One boy made a jigsaw puzzle of a picture of him holding a sign that said "will you go with me?" another boy went to build a bear and had a recording put in that said "will you go with me?"...now these are freshmen! my next door neighbor did that for his SENIOR prom!
DS isn't really in to dating yet, but sort of wanted to ask someone. He was like "i gotta be creative???" I was like "you are a freshman we aren't being ridiculous"! LOL
Also, it's a 2 day date. Game on Friday and then on Saturday dinner and dance. Nothing like jumping into the water with both feet! LOL
He decides he's gonna ask this sweet girl that I think he likes but is also buds with. She takes theater at the same place right after dd. Thursday, we decorated my car in his high school colors (balloons, streamers) and he got some of that dollar store jewelry and made a poster that he put on the back of my car that said "put some bling, bling on and go to homecoming with me!"
she saw it when she drove up. Now, she has to answer back creative! Yesteday she dropped off some cookies and a necklace that had 'yes' written on it with a poem that said 'as you can guess the answer is yes, have some cookies and bling on me"
the good side for ds is that the boys only ask to homecoming and prom, the rest of the time it's the girls asking to the dances.

Don't forget, I have a daughter waiting in the wings! LOL
At least this is a really nice girl, who isn't actually trying to act 42! Some of those girls are just hussies! LOL
He's gonna wear his tux jacket from the 8th grade dance and blue jeans. He still doesn't understand what a 'mum' is and is ticked off that he doesn't get something! LOL

That's great Tex! In general, it sounds like it's working out well for both of them.

I have a good thought for pre-first dates:

Before a girls first date, have dad, grampa, uncle, etc. take them out on a pre date, to show exactly how they should be treated on a date, right down to pulling out their chair and getting the door.

Before a boys first date, have them take mom out with her coaching him on what to do, hold the door, pull out her chair, pick up the tab. This will give him a chance to learn the proper table manners, what questions to ask: What would you do if you won the lottery, where would you go if you could travel anywhere? What is your dream job? etc.

Just a thought....but, it may be fun.

Wow, I wish I had been asked to go to the Prom...
LOL

No one I know was even SLIGHTLY creative in asking people if they wanted to go with them to the Prom..
It was go up and ask.

Escapee, great idea!! I know I talked about it with DS, and often as they were growing up I would bring up the subject... esp when watching tv, things esp like "and I'd better never see or hear you treating a woman like that" My favorite years ago they were watching a Fox cartoon/show (not Simpsons) and I was in the kitchen prepping dinner, and they mentioned condoms, "ribbed for a woman's pleasure" well did they ever get an earful from me... of course they are much more careful with their tv shows!! BUt I'd take any and every opportunity... but I love your idea!!

(and with a dd, I really appreciate that suggestion!!)

Great idea Escapee!
Neko, when I was in high school, it was just ask too. Now, it's such a production around here!
