Just wondering. I have had really bad experiences with the three dances we have had so far. At homecoming my girlfriend and best friend got at each other's throats, at Fall Tolo my ex was a complete...you know what...and at Winter Bal I didn't go because I couldn't get a date. I was going to ask an old friend of mine who is having a really hard time, her parents are divorcing and such, and she doesn't have many friends, so I figured I would cheer her up. Problem is we had all those snow days, and then two half days before the dance, so I never found her. I sent her dad an email but he didn't respond, so come dance time I just wondered how good of a time all my friends were having :'(
Who is to say that you shouldn't go to a dance if you don't have a date? Listen here: I went to all of my school dances so far without dates (much to my dislike, of course). It's kind of a trade, really; you can go to the dance with a date and know that someone actually took the time to spend time with you...or you can go to the dance alone and get all the ladies that you want! :D
That doesn't work for me. I even tried Tag. Rip off, I oughta sue them for false advertising. All my clothes are still intact.
I'm not gonna ask... ???
Still, they're just dances. The point of dances is to DANCE. Slow dancing is not all of a dance...but don't get me wrong: I DO wish that slow dancing was! :P
I like to slow dance mostly, grinding I do not find fun. unfortunately you get maybe five slow dances a night.
have you not seen the Tag commercials?
My thing against dances is loud music and large crowds. I like neither.
True, I don't like most of the music they play. and The people all clod together and you can't see anyone, plus if you are stuck inside you're screwed.
However, when I take a date to a dance I just try to please her, it's not really about if I like it or not. Then again I've had a total of one girlfriend for two weeks who didn't even like me but wanted to use me, so what does that tell you 8)
All of my school dances turn out to be rap-fests. I hate rap.
we get all the sex-talk laden rap and hip-hop. I don't like the Black Eyed Peas, they need to play some actual dancing music....they surprised me at homecoming by playing Twist and Shout, I love that song, of course nobody else knew what it was though.
Sometimes, If I have nothing more to do and there is a dance, I'll go to it, just for the heck of it.
So will somebody vote please? ;)
It's so easy to forget we have polls here. ;)
yes, the discussions are usually much more captivating.
Well I can't really vote since the only time I go to a school dance is to supervise it. But back when I was in school I used to go to a few dances, and I got into some trouble at one dance hehe 8)
with the teachers or with the girls? Please explain. :)

Neither...the cops...but they had it in for me.
are you serious??? Dude, I cannot imagine you in trouble with the police. How did you manage that?
Well my friend I have had quite a few run ins with the law, nothing serious to prevent me from being a teacher, mostly stuff that was illegal at the time of my age ;D.
Such as...?
I thought I made it obvious but, drinking. And the cop that busted me at the dance, before I called him a !@$%^$ pig and boosted about how my brother had "relations" with his girlfriend. So I was in trouble from the beginning.
Oh wow....that's asking for it. Still, like you said, nothing huge. The closest I came to being in trouble with the law was when we had an airsoft war at the school. Some people across the street thought we were shooting real guns at each other and called the cops. They just checked our guns and left. So yeah.
So what would you vote on the dance poll?(we kinda need to get back on topic)
Well I only went depending on the girl I got to go with me, so I voted "I go but I really don't like it" because the real fun is after the dance.
haha nice..although I wouldn't know about that :-*
if you haven't noticed by now, I'm not exactly the school heartthrob.

Hehe neither was I, that is why I got busted at that one dance, kinda needed to do something first haha...ahhh memories. And now I am the one to encourage kids not to drink and such, I love the irony.
well, experience speaks best, right? I don't think I would ever do that to my date though...I hope I don't.
That is very respectable...it will help you in the long run, especially college.
Really? I always looked at college as the time where it would be worst for me.
Well here is the way to look at it. I do not remember the exact number but the majority of people that get married met in college. Now do you want to be it from a one night stand or an actual, meaningful relationship? Trust me there are plenty of girls who would go for the latter more then the former.
I know. I'm not wanting a one night stand anyways. It just sickens me how it's the guys that treat girls like crap and use them that the girls always want to go out with.
What was the favorite dance you went to? I kind of liked homecoming, it was full of spirit and everything.
Cool it you two. You've got a whole page of convo posting going.
I don't particularly like school dances, they are acryually kinda lame...maybe it's just my school? :-\
Our school dances always end up sucking so I don't go anymore. I always have to choose between going with some of my loser stalkers, my fear of crowds, my hate of dancing vs. playing video games and doing what the heck I want. Hmmmm.... I wonder which one I go with now?
ha i'm taking an awesome girl to one, too bad she doesn't like me
why is she going with you then? or do you mean she doesn't like you as in she likes you as a friend?

Maybe something will change at the dance??
In England we don't have proper "dances" which sucks.
On the odd occasion there is a school disco but thats not a dance. You don't go with a partner and the music is awful. But they are still fun and youget to dance with whoever you like! Sadly our last one was two years ago and there hasn't been anything interesting for our yeaqr apart from the odd night when our school books the local pool for us Year 9s to go to.
The only proper dance is when you are in the upper 6th (age 17/18) and we have a summer ball, which is a proper formal thing.
wow, I'm sorry.
You guys have a ball? Is it kinda like a prom? :-\
I never went to any dances or the prom when I was in highschool. I hate getting stuck in a room with a bunch of people I hate and having to wear a formal or semi-formal gown, on top of it. Besides, the only dancing I'd ever want to do would be like...Fred Astaire-Ginger Rogers type ballroom dancing. :D So cool. I mean, who wouldn't choreographically skate around a rink while belting "Let's Call the Whole Thing Off"?
And you just didn't get that level of awesome with the bunch of humourless jerkfaces that constituted school dances at my previous highschool.
Um, plus my boyfriend was one of those same humourless jerkfaces. Boo, I lose.
I just wanna dance....have fun, you know. No grinding, I hate grinding, don't see why everyone does it, or why it's allowed :-*...
Haha that first sentence cracked me up cause that is exactly what girls always say when they go to dance clubs..."I just wanna dance"...of course guys have different plans :D
Plans beside dancing...
Actually, sometimes my friends go to a dance cause they hear the food there will be good...but I'm sure thats not the only reason. ;)
that's why I went to the first dance...there wasn't even any food! The most food I've seen at a dance was bottled water and mints. I felt gipped...and since noone danced with me I just kinda found a nice corner and fell asleep after a while...missed the bus though...
Missing the bus doesnt sound like fun, but at least you got to sleep! :)
yes...which was surprising with the horrible pounding music...

and mk she has a bf so things wont change
Well why not go with someone else that is not your friend and could possibily reap in more "benefits" ;D

haha, no i like to know the girl before i ask them out
Good man, he likes to get to know the person. :)
yes i do, yes i do
Me too. not even my frieds wil go with me though,so...
my friends all got dates and so do i so its cool that my friends dont go with me
actually all my friends that are guys are pretty much recluses and don't do dances, and the girls won't go with me because they don't want to ruin their image.

haha, i know how that is buddy
I know...they blame everything bad on me and constantly insult me...I don't know why I'm their friend....
I hate school dances. I prefer staying home with my video games. I went to one, and it sucked. I went by myself; I refuse to date anyone. (don't need the extra stress).
I found out playing video games are more fun. :P :P
plus, Video games don't nag you no matter how much you yell and complain at them. Unless you are playing OoT and you ahve Navi...seriously though, you should get out and do some things, there are things better than video games. I agree with datin not being worth it though, the only girlfriend I've had was horrible to me, then a girl said she liked me and was just using me to break up with her boyfriend she forgot she had, so...
i for one want a girlfriend, being alone all my life makes me hmm... (http://s91.photobucket.com/albums/k287/ZeldaVeteran/th_horror.gif)
okay seriously, tell me how to use those smilies...and yes I kinda want a girlfriend, but I also kinda don't because of all the bad experiences...
for that one it is

Oh I go out and do things with people. I'm not sayinig I'm one of thoses people who are glued to a screen. Lol. I just don't like dating.
when you aren't grounded that is...
Haha Pyrgus. Haha. You know very well I want to go.
I made the mistake of telling a girl that I'd go with her. But that was before I found out she really liked me. But I don't like her and now it's this big "thing".
I hate when drama like that happens. And you arn't trying to cause any. Sorry about that my friend.
I agree. Is this a current problem?
Well, the dance is in 3 hours so yes, it's current.
oh... im sorry. did you want to go with someone else or something? I mean if you get to know the girl you might like her.
I have every intention of going. I'm a man of my word. But I didn't want to go in the first place, I just thought I was going with her as a friend.
oh.. well i hope you both have a good time then.
im kinda in the reverse role of gf's sitiation, i like the girl and she dont like me, oh well it will be fun
well, hopefully she will get in a fight with someone at the dance and be distraught and you can be her knight in shinign armor and cheer her up and then she will like you rabies. and Gamefreak, maybe the opposite will happen to you.then everybody happy and in love!...except for me...alas...
Dude, you aren't alone! I think we're on the same page here! ;)
heh, heh I got asked to the next dance (Feb.1 or 2) by 4 different people; it's not as good as it sounds though ;).
Good luck with that, buddy. ;D
haha, last night was soo awesome
Was the dance fun?
God, I havent been to a dance since last year.
Hey Baka, I'll take three of those girls off your hands if you don't mind... ;D
Well, I can't say that what I did was the most "noble" thing to do, but it spared her feelings without me coming out directly and telling her that I didn't like her that way. We were on the subject of relationships and I told her that I wasn't interested in a relationship because of how busy I am lately.(It's true)
well, that's not bad. How did she take it?
She took it pretty well to my knowledge.
That's good. Besides, if you're busy, you're busy.
Gamefreak, she told me she planned on sending an army of owlbears after you. Bit of advice: get a weapon with an owlbear bane on it. If you now how to cast Charm, cast it. They have a low Will Save modifier, so you would probably be successful.
:P
Thanks for the tip Hi no Seijin.
HNS...always helpful for those pesky things in life. ::) :)
kinda like pepper spray, or a lawyer...
there are pics on my myspace of the dance... id put them on here put they are too big

Thta's my kind of dance! Someone understands! ;D
Well, I did dance at my Middle School Graduation thingy...actually i danced alot and ate even more than usual. :P
we didn't even get food at our dances, it was such a waste of time. Nobody to dance with, nothing to eat...
That's terrible....i would've wound up going home.
we couldn't go home, it still counted as class time. for what class I have no idea though. possibly PE.
That's cruel and unusual torture...what if you just hate dances? Then you're counted as cutting? :o
yup, it counts as skipping. they had people patrolling to make sure noone escaped. I was talking guarding windows too.
What kind of messed up school do you go to?
I don't go there anymore, that was middle school.Not my best years there.
Middle school is the devil. The worst years of my life were spent in middle school.
We didn't have mandatory dances, but we had things like...jump-rope days. Where you had to go and jump rope in the gym all day for attendance. Weee-iirrrrd.
Oh god, i had jump rope days in my Middle School too!
The boredom...the insane boredom...jumping rope for 45 minutes is not exactly fun....at all... :-*
If this isn't part of the topic don't answer this:
This guy (IT IS GUY, Shikamaru) asked me and I don't want to reject him 'cause he's a good friend, but I don't like him that way :'(. HELP!
it is because it's about a dance. You sould say you will think about it.

well... you could just tell him that or tell him you will go with him as friends if noone else asks you
I guess I could tell him the stuff I said but he's so quiet/shy and sensitive I dunno if he could handle it......
I don't like dances so wouldn't go with him as a freind

Well, if dances aren't your thing, just tell him so. An apology at the same time probably wouldn't hurt. But then, I wouldn't know. I never asked a girl out before.
Thankies guys!
I think I can work it out now.
