hi peeps, just want some advice on what to do here, my formal is on the 7th.
ive already got my suit but thats about it, i dont know what else i need or need to do.
all my mates are buying roses,box of chocolates and crosage and i dont know if im suppose to do this too.
and if i should go to my partners house, which i dont have a clue where :D
and yup i cant really pick her up from her house coz we dont own a car and i was just thinking of getting a taxi to hers
(yeah i know:rolleyes:)
my brothers been to one but it was called a GS(this was in philippines) so i dont know anything about formals.
any advice would be greatly appreciated
:(:(
 
Bloody Americanisms. My school had an annual school ball, and that was it. Shirts and ties for the young gentlemen, and a nice dress for the ladies. Nice and simple. What's wrong with that?

In before the "omg we just had a disco n turned up in shell suits n stuff lulz".

Mate, your English is better than a lot of natives on this forum so don't worry about it. ;) If money allows, perhaps hire a car and have a relative or friend drive you to pick up the girl, and drop you to the formal? That way you're arriving in style, but not breaking the 'no limo' rule. Stay away from tacky things like boxes of chocolate and the like. If you really like the girl, perhaps a modest bouquet of flowers but that's all. Don't go for roses or stuff like that, get a nice bunch of wild-flower types that aren't your average petrol station afterthought. Chicks dig that kind of thing. Make sure you give them to her at the door so she can put them in water before you go, rather than being lumbered with them all night.

Have fun. :D
 
when we were told about it(formal/prom), i wasnt thinking of taking anyone :D, just wanted to go as a group with my mates but then the unexpected happened. my friend got a partner and tried to set me up with his partners friend. i said ill think about it just to keep them off my back(didnt really think about it :p). the next day his partners friend asked me if i wanted to go as "friends" so i said yes thinking "yeah why not" then after that all my mates tried to find partners :D
now all my mates have partners and are buying boxes of chocolate, roses and crosage to give to their partner.
well since my partner said just to go as "friends" do i really need to buy her these things??

Personally I'd say no, but peer pressure's a bitch. Frankly, as with all things female related, you're damned if you do and damned if you don't. If you do, she'll no doubt react in the 'omg but we're just friends!!1!" way. If you don't, she'll probably not say anything but wonder why you didn't bother to give her the same nice stuff her friends got. Tough call.

Personally I say stick with my original suggestion above. A nice, modest bouquet of flowers, a few compliments, but nothing heavy. That way you've provided a gift, been a gent, and not pushed your luck. Seeing as you don't seem to be particularly bothered about this lass, personally I'd say save your cash. ;)
 
im not particularly bothered but i just dont want to look like the "bad guy" if you know what i mean. for now im just thinking of getting a bouquet or a crosage (maybe both depending on prices :D)
thanks to all the advices so far even the ones to tell me to pasty smash a teacher :D
 
Another vote for just the flowers its a safe bet either way, you could get in touch with her and ask her about how she is planning to get to the event and err find out where she stays at the same time :P
