Choosing the right prom date

Most girls look forward to attending there senior prom. Its a day of liberating yourself, hanging out with your beloved friends and date. You know you've been waiting for this you're whole life, searching for that beautiful dress that will make you feel like a queen, and running restless with your friends, searching for that perfect prom hairdo. You've got it all planned, however you're still thinking about who you want to take. Most people think that because people are in relationships it's easier to just go together. It has its perks as well as it's flaws. Bringing a boyfriend/girlfriend can make prom memorable, however since you and your significant other are comfortable with each other, this may compel you to be honest and blunt with each other on prom, if one is agitating or pestering the other. Also, what if you're significant other is possessed with the green eyed monster (jealousy) and over reacts when you get the attention you deserve. Let's face it, the majority of people at prom look absolutely stunning! So it's never that easy. So your single, and still deciding who you want to go with. These are just a few things to consider before asking that special someone to spend that remarkable evening with you.

1. Ask someone who enjoys the same hobbies and interest as you- Can you imagine asking someone to prom who doesn't have anything in common with you? What would you guys talk about? Make sure when you ask your date out, you feel comfortable being with them. If this was a blind date, try to get there phone number, so you can talk a week prior just to familiarize yourself with them. Get a touch and feel of there background. It is important that you do so, you want to be at ease with your date.
   
2. Someone who you're able to negotiate the cost with- If the guy offers to pay for the prom tickets, and limo offer to pay for the pictures, or maybe for half of his tuxedo. Thats only if he feels comfortable you chipping in. Some guys (or girls) are traditional and want to pay for everything, in this I mean, the prom tickets, the pictures, the limo, and maybe the restaurant or dining place you might attend after prom. However, if you have a penny pinching boyfriend or date, its best to discuss these matters before prom. You don't want to be stuck with these expenses you can't afford. You two can also split the cost. I, for one didn't feel comfortable having my date pay for everything, so I offered for us to go half.
   
3. Be sure you ask someone who has the same plans for prom- If you like to dance, be sure your partner does too! You don't want to ask someone to prom, only to find out that he/she thinks dancing is for nerds. Prom consists of dancing, spending time with friends, and dining. If you're the out going type, loves to talk, be sure your date does too! If your date is the shy type and a little timid, this may cause them to feel ill at ease, and discomfited. Also, make sure your date has the same plans for prom, for ex: if you were looking forward to going to an after party, discuss this with your date. Some people are fine without bringing there prom date to an after party, so if you're comfortable with this idea, more power to you, however if you expect your date to be there, and there not up for the idea, take this into consideration.
   

Above all, make sure your date is someone you want to spend that night with, someone who will offer you the best kind of prom you desire. Don't let the person you take be the reason for disaster, prom is for enjoying yourselves. You only get one senior prom.
