This has bizarre implications which might illustrate why I'm a hypocrite (read the girl ask guy out thread). Then again I did say I would just go out once with a woman who asked me out. Also it was years ago, but still:

I took karate classes twice a week. On the Tuesday class I was approached by one of the students -- the second oldest in our group, and the oldest female. She was graduating this (that) coming April and asked me if I wanted to be her date. I told her I'd think about it for a week and said yes the follow week (omg). I continued minding my own business, since she asked me and thus will be in charge of arranging most of the 'date' -- transportation, accomodation, and the corsage/flowers. All I had to do was pick it up on the day of the prom.

On the day of the prom I spent the entire day at a Wendy's restaurant preparing it for its premiere opening day. It took longer than expected so I had to leave the two (2) employees there to finish the work on their own (a manager and an employee). I told them in advance too. So I don't feel bad. I picked up the flowers, and proceeded to go to her house about twenty minutes early (I would've arrived ten minutes late nowadays). She was already dressed. In hindsight, it is likely she was dressed at least an hour to three before I arrived xD.

I met her parents, her dog, her friends who would be going with me, blah blah. Piled into a car and drove to other parents who continued their banter until it was time to go to the hall. Pictures were taken, banter, etc. We were loud and talkative until dinner, at which point oddly we were silent the entire time. They started playing dance music or hip/hop or whatever was popular at the time around the time we finished dinner, but we continued talking until we had properly rested. My date started to dance on her own at first, because I wasn't done resting. However we did do that silly slow dance stuff just about ever slow song they played.

Highlight of the dancing night was when I did a handstand spin around (1990 to those in the know).

After the prom we stumbled into a hotel. One of the parents had rented a room for the night, and we had to fit....oh man, 8 people into that room. Yes it's illegal. So we were sneaky and went in the elevator in two groups. Broke out the alcohol and drank it illegally (I was 19), played truth or dare until I passed out from alcohol consumption, and went to bed.

For a long while my date joked that she slept in a bed with a guy and a girl.

I never went to my own school's prom. I dispised the community there.
