When I started thinking about Prom, I knew exactly who I wanted to go with; so I just asked him. It honestly is not that big of a deal. It just slipped out when we were getting ice cream at the mall.

I don’t get the social norm of boys asking girls. Why shouldn’t I just ask a guy who I know will be fun and who will enjoy himself? I am not going to wait for a guy to find the courage to ask me, that could take forever and what if it is not even the person I wanted to go with? Why do guys get to be the ones to choose? I would rather it be the other way around.

Gentlemen, imagine a world where the girl pursues you. They will come up to you and say excuse me, you’re beautiful and I would like to get to know you.

I do not understand why that’s not the norm. Most guys would not take the opportunity and if a woman sees someone worth giving a chance to, why do they have to wait for the guy to say something?

A lot of people might find it weird, a girl having the confidence to do something like that., but the people who find it strange and intimidating are not the people I’m interested in. I wish the trend would catch on.

Our society has played up promposals way too much. I’m not speaking for all girls, but I would rather just pick my date then have to wait for the question “Will you go to prom with me?” or some other variation of that mounted on a poster or spelled out with something that makes the quote ironic. That’s literally all it is, a question.

If you have the confidence to go out and ask very publicly, you probably know they are going to say yes so it is all just for show. To take a picture and post it on Instagram to let the whole world know is pointless.

I am not into that, it’s not my thing. I just picked the person who I knew I would have the best time with, and simply asked the question, and it just so happened to be a boy.
