[QUOTE=Luster]i posted a couple pages ago about how we're splitting the cost.

i mean, it makes sense. he doesn't have a ton of money to drop on something i'm dragging him into in the first place. it comes out to almost 200$ each plus his tux, so whatever, i'll pay my own....

.... except that he never got me a ticket.
i pray they'll be able to work something out and call the hotel and get me a ticket or something. and it better not be more expensive because it's late.[/QUOTE]
Lame excuse.

If he was going to prom with you, he needed to pay for you and not expect to be paid back, end of story.

[QUOTE=purplefeet]Prom tickets are like $90 bucks, who is she dating Hugh Hefner? Its her prom, if she wanted to go, she should have boughten a ticket herself.

Sorry love.[/QUOTE]


yeah I bought my date her ticket. I don't mind spending the money on her, if I did then I wouldn't be going with her, I'd find some other person that I WOULD spend the money on.

Money doesnt signify anything. Just because you buy someone their prom ticket, doesnt mean you care more about them.

Or how about this - your date should buy her own ticket, because the idea that you should be responsible for every financial drain she wants to partake in is retarded and overly-feminist and unrealistic in anything other than a menstrual dream.

I was doing it to be nice, I didn't mind, it's once a year, my ex used to pay for her meals and things when we went out, I'm not going to pay for her crap all the time but I did it a few times like on dates.

He should have gotten your ticket. And this bull sh** about forgetting is a horrible excuse. How would you forget to take your gf to prom?!?! And tiger is more of an advice giving person cuz he is like me and tends to stick to himself, at least on here. Whats ur AIM?

Even if it's once a year, I would [b]never[/b] spend $90 in one shot on a woman. I don't understand the whole, "take care of me because I'm female" attitude. If they want something, they're just as capable of earning it as I [you] am [are].

I know that. That's not what I was trying to imply to the person when I bought them their ticket.

I agree, but I'm traditional, so I did it anyways, and I've never been with a girl whom I made think that I was going to take care of them and pay for their crap because their female and I should do that because I'm a guy

Just because he gives advice and doesnt talk about his own personal things, doesnt mean he is like you.

Yeah, seriously. The cat man has a brain. This other douche doesn't.

Ever thought about moving up here, btw? Oregon seriously pissed me off.

it's really not an excuse. we didn't talk about it until the night before the last day of sales (they were only on sale 2 days and he wasn't in school the first one) we were talking about it at 1am and he had taken he had already taken his sleep-meds. i don't blame him for forgetting.

aim: lusteredeclipse

it's amusing how polarized people are on the issue. it's a big chunk of money and i can see both perspectives. how a guy shouldn't have to pay simply because of this notion that "the guy should pay" when it's really the girl's night. it goes the other way too - that it IS the girl's night and it's the one time he should pay. I don't really know at this point. but i'll let you guys know tomorrow whether i get my ticket or not.

how is it just a girls night? I thought guys graduated too? You are stereotyping assuming no guy wants to go to prom. Its not the one time he should pay, you should work at your local grocery mart, save your money and buy your ticket yourself if you want to go.

yeah I wouldn't say it's a girls night, I had fun, although I can do that basically whenever I please.

[QUOTE=Tiger]Ever thought about moving up here, btw? Oregon seriously pissed me off.[/QUOTE]

Actually man, I'm down to live anywhere. I don't care where it is as long as it's home. I'm set up for an almost guaranteed full-time job at a gas station right around the corner right now. It's minimum wage but it's no less than 35 hours/week so it's really decent money. Once I save up a couple grand I need to move, but I don't have anywhere to go.

as far as prom goes at my school... i don't know one guy that's looking forward to going - so i was just speaking from personal experience (and for me and my boyfriend it is the girl thing - because i'm the one that wants to go)

and i do work, and i'm going to pay for my half. i actually got a 50$ surprise check today :)

It's true. Most guys don't care about prom. I care because I dropped out junior year and never had one, but most guys know where the party is at and they'd rather go drink than go dance. That's probably how I would have been too.

However, that's not a logical, valid reason for the guy to pay $180 for the both of you to go to prom. That's a lot of f[size=2]ucking[/size] money and the girl should pitch in.

Um...to be fair dude, I just moved here and when I got here I had about $600 left. But Ive already gone through two employments within two months (The first one was lame and wasnt very good money for the job), but now Im at $13 an hour at 40-50 hours a week, over 40 is overtime.

Im just saying it doesnt take much to get set up here, plus you could ****ing walk here if you wanted.

Well that's cool. I may just move to Washington if it's as easy as you say. My plan is to apply for a job first and then move there once I have the job. Some employers are sketch about that, but whatever. I just don't want to move somewhere, not be able to find a job and end up homeless. I've been there and it's not too cool.

I doubt that.

unless youre an unruly faggot why would you care about some school dance with no brew and a ****ty dj?

Well man, it sure as hell looked like every guy at my prom last night cared about prom...

though i can understand one being cautious with his money, i would also be cautious with statements that involve "never".
See...cuz now you made me wonder how are you ever going to pay for your engagement ring. Monthly payments?

Oregon is the best state, and I've been to most of them.
