Boys who hate proms

Among S’s circle of friends I can count a number of instances when GIRLS were asked to the prom, agreed, and then canceled about a week before the dance, preferring some other guy(!!!) <<<






This is terrible, too. I find it hard to believe that these girls’ parents did not know that their daughters’ first had accepted to go with someone else and then later decided to go with someone else (since girls are more likely to immediately tell their families when they have been asked – and, therefore, need a dress, etc).

If there are parents out there in CC Land who have knowingly let their kids cancel their dates to prom in order to go with someone else (someone “better”) … shame on you!!! (and the same goes for parents who knowingly let their kids cancel and not go at all for some lame reason.)





but on the flipside, a person doesn’t necessarily want to go to prom with someone out of obligation and then have a bad time… <<<<





The “obligation” only exists if the person has agreed to go in the first place. A person can say “no” if they are asked because they think that they will have a bad time with that particular person.

However, if the person just doesn’t want to go with his girlfriend because he “doesn’t like dances” then he needs to just “suck it up” because being a “grown up” means sometimes doing (moral, ethical) things that may not be your choice – but you do it anyway because it will please your significant other. That is what mature people do. Immature people only do what “they want to do.”
