For many students, prom is the most magical night in their academic career. However, there are many tasks that must be sorted out before the big day such as tickets, tables, dress\/suits, and last but not least, a date.<\/p>\n

Over the years, asking someone to prom has become a spectacle of grand proportions. It is common to see seniors surprising their friends with funny posters, cute serenades, or even delicious food. This new tradition can be daunting for many people. However, they also can be more memorable than the dance itself. Seniors Amy Virasak. Amy Wills, and Jacob Robbin recount their promposal experience.<\/p>\n

What are your opinions on promposals?<\/b><\/p>\n

    \n
  • AV:<\/i><\/b> \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u201cI think they\u2019re nice gestures but not always necessary. If someone wants to ask a person to prom, it doesn\u2019t always have to be done in an extravagant way. But I think girls do like it when a guy does a promposal.\u201d<\/li>\n
  • AW:<\/i><\/b> \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u201cI think promposals are cute and fun. They make people feel special. It\u2019s a little dramatic when they\u2019re too overdone though. Everything has it\u2019s downsides but overall I think they\u2019re really cute.\u201d<\/li>\n
  • JR: \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u201c\u201cI think that promposals are a considerate way for a guy or girl to ask their friend to prom. I think it\u2019s nice because it starts the whole prom process which is only once in a lifetime.\u201d<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

     <\/p>\n

    How were you asked to prom?<\/b><\/p>\n

      \n
    • AV:<\/i><\/b> \u00a0\u00a0\u201cWell it was 8th period in Calculus and I really wasn\u2019t expecting it. I walked in and thought that iw was unusually quiet so I was like what? And then Dan Netting had a sign that said \u2018Lil y(ou) go to prom with me Amy?\u2019 with bouquet of lilies. I was surprised and really happy at the same time because I didn\u2019t expect to get asked.\u201d<\/li>\n
    • AW:<\/i><\/b> \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u201cI actually asked my date to prom. I knew I wanted to go with someone who I was good friends with and would be comfortable with. I decided to ask my friend Nikaash Pasnoori because we are in the same Statistics class and we have all become like a family in that class so I knew we would have a good time at prom together. I asked him by baking cupcakes and writing prom out in stats symbols (mostly because I wanted food). I was a little nervous to ask but he said yes.\u201d<\/li>\n
    • JR:<\/i><\/b> \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u201cI asked my date in Disney in front of the castle. We were there for our DECA trip so I thought it would be a perfect way to ask. I ordered pictures of us from Target and picked them up. Then, I created it at home. I had to roll it up and put it in my luggage. I had my teacher put it in her backpack to take into Disney.\u201d<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      Do you have any promposal tips?<\/b><\/p>\n

        \n
      • AV:<\/i><\/b> \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0“I guess I\u2019d say to stay calm and if they don\u2019t think they\u2019re going to get asked, the shouldn\u2019t think that so quickly because anything can happen. If a girl really wants to go with someone, they should make the first move to ask because there\u2019s nothing wrong with that\u201d<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
          \n
        • AW:<\/i><\/b> \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u201cTry to make it a surprise even if your dates know you\u2019re going to ask them or has an idea that you will. Try to ask when they least expect it. Second, be creative. You don\u2019t have to spend a lot of money to prompose to someone; prom is expensive enough as it is. Inside jokes are a great way to ask in a personal, meaningful way. Finally, get your friends in on it. The more friends you have exited about the two of you going together, the better time you’ll have at prom.\u201d<\/li>\n
        • JR:<\/i><\/b> \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u201cTry to be creative and do what your date would like. Have some friends around to record and take pictures to document it.\u201d<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

          However, promposals are not for everyone and it is not necessary to have a date for a fun prom experience. Many students even agree that it is more enjoyable to go to prom with a group of friends or alone than with a date. In the end, prom is about having one last, fun high school event before graduating.<\/p>\n
