First Prom-What to do?

[someone800]

Hey,

You might remember this thread:

http://www.sosuave.net/forum/showthread.php?t=141668

Well, my friend talked to her friend (the one I wanted to ask to Prom) and of course ended up saying my name. However, today in class, my friend told me that her friend would like to go with me, so I formally casually asked her today (she said yes) and I told her I would call her to talk about Prom plans since I got her number from her friend (in case I couldn't reach her).

Anyways, onto the questions. When should I call her (obviously this weekend since she is in one of my classes)? Sunday night? And what should I say?

We are going in a group with my friend (her friend who hooked us up) and a couple female friends of my friend (so I guess I am the only guy). All I know for sure now is that we are going to a cheapish Italian restaurant. Should I plan anything special out?

My "budget" I suppose is around $200. Things for sure being purchased:
-Tickets to Prom ($50 total)
-Dinner (approx. $30)
-Corsage (approx. $20)
-Flowers? (approx. $20)
-What else?

I asked my friend that hooked us up to casually find out what dress color she is wearing and letting me know so I can buy a matching corsage.

As far as dress-Tux or Suit? I have both (Suit is newer), but the Tux is borrowed from the school for the class that we both happen to be in. Would I be seen as a cheep, rude person if I wore the same thing or should I rent a different, classier one?

Limo (probably out of price range) or drive myself?

Also, since she is in one of my classes, what should I say/do on Monday? Tuesday? Wednesday? Thursday? And on Friday, there is a day-long bus trip for the class somewhere-what should I do then?

Keep in mind that all I have done was just finally talked to her for the first time and asked her to Prom. What/When should I call her? What should I do when I see her at school and in class? And what about that day-long trip for the class (sit next to her on bus for three hours?)?

Should I walk up to her and just give her a hug when I see her again for the first time or what? I know I got over the "hump", but now I got to plan Prom out, and grow the relationship over the next week and I want it to go smoothly.

Should I hang out with her this weekend? I have to work Friday night, Saturday night, and Sunday afternoon. How about during the weekdays?

Also, should I somehow get her home phone and call her parents about anything (otherwise the first time they are probably going to see me is when I pick her up)?

Also, in case you haven't figured it out yet, Prom is next Saturday.

Anything else important I am forgetting? I want this to be a remembered night (dinner, Prom, after-Prom), so any advice on all this is greatly appreciated.

Corsage is prob gonna run about $25. I'd forget the flowers. I'm confused as to why you have a tux for the class? But definetely wear a tux. If its borrowed from the school I dunno how nice of a tux it is or if its tailored to you.

You might wanna consider renting a tux package, shoes, matching vest or tie etc. that can get a bit price though I think mine ran me about $100 and it was one of the more expensive places and got a R.L. Polo tux.

Heh, we're in the same boat someone800. Well, kind of. A girl I've known for a really long time was scared of going alone, and so without thinking I fell into the nice-guy routine that I've been in for so long, and said yes. Still, it's not shot though. Apparently, her friend from another school wanted to go to prom, and she's much much more attractive, and so I'm taking her while my friend tags along with us. Not too bad .

As for budget, she's paying for it, except for my ticket. (My friend, since I'm the one doing her a favor). Finally falling out of the nice-guy way of thinking . $50 for both tickets? I envy you man, I paid $50 bucks for only my ticket.

Here's what I'm doing, it may help you. Though my prom is still a good month away.

I'm going to simply rent a suit from a retailer (Men's Warehouse, etc.), it'll be more classy and cheaper then buying my own.

We're not going in a limo, but if your group is big enough, then you should be able to split the limo costs so that it isn't gouging a hole in your' wallet.

As for the rest, your friend said that her friend wanted to go with you. Well, that's the general gist I got. So she's already interested in you. Don't fret so much then, if you see her, then stop and talk to her and make her laugh. Just make her enjoy the time you spend together.

Thanks for the tips.

Also, I know this is kind of rude, but can someone please answer my other questions in my topic post like how to act around her this week, when to call her (what to talk about too), what to do, etc?

I'm kinda trying to get together the plan since I got all these problems mentioned in this thread, but they are still the problems I want to have.

Thanks!

Don't be overbearing. She's already shown interest in you, so just take it easy until prom. If you see her, then stop and talk with her, make her laugh, just basically entertain her. At least that's what I would do .

Thanks, but what about a hug the next time I see her? I don't want this to go the way of my previous dates where they fall into the friend zone really fast.
Also, I told her I'd call her. What about Sunday night? And what should I talk about (I said the prom details)?
