HELP...I need Prom advice
I now have a kinda sorta date for the Prom this weekend. Several weeks ago I asked Sarah, she looked at me like I was insane and told me she would think about it. She then avoided me for days until I cornered her and she turned me down. No explanation given. She continued to avoid me until Friday night when she showed up at the club while I was playing. She never comes to the club. Apparently her friend is Zach’s sister (Zach is the drummer that was filling in for the weekend…I really need to post about the band… Later) Since Sarah knows I’m the usual drummer she assumed that I would not be there and that Zach was playing for me. Sarah hates the head banging rock stuff we play, she only came with her friend to see Zach. So anyway I’m on keys and vocals and Sarah really liked it. She especially liked the Beatles stuff we did. After our first set I was sitting out drinking a coke when she came up and sat with me. She then told me that if I still wanted to go to the Prom with her she would go but only as FRIENDS. I would have liked to be more than friends but I can do friends, Right?
I need the advice of a female regarding the proper etiquette for corsages. Ty told me that I should not buy Sarah a corsage or wrist thing because we are just friends and if I did then I could scare her off because she would think I want more. This makes sense to me but my mother said that I need to buy the flower thing because she is still my date. I would feel like a fool if she buys me a boutonniere thing and I don’t have anything to give her. My gut says I should buy her the corsage, actually I want to buy her the corsage but I don’t want her to be uncomfortable. I really don’t care if she gets me a butonaire thing or not. I mean it would be nice but definitely not necessary.
What do you girls think? Can you buy a girl flowers and still be just friends? Do all the girls at the prom have a corsage thing? If I do buy one is the wrist kind better?
