Friends or partners, you must get her a crosage! It's like prom rule one oh one ;)

Flowers don't go wrong either, and just enjoy yourselves! You never know, it might go differently :p

A state away sounds pretty far.
 
oh jesus lol
turns out theres a lot of things i need learn :D
so formal=prom
state=street
so in other words she lives a street away from my friends house.
you know a 1-2 minute walk :D
just got used to how northern irish people use words and slangs :D
like uhmm whats the craic(whats up). people use it a lot here.
do english/scottish/welsh people use it aswell or is it just n.ireland?
lol
 
Okay fine proms are american.

So what?

It means after you finish your exams your school hosts a party for everyone, what's so wrong about that?

I enjoyed my prom. Good party, all the girls looked stunnin and the after party in town was crazy.


As for the OP, why not buy her chocolates, unless you really don't like her? Who knows you could like each other. Just give it a night.

RIGHT.
In Norn Iron, this is what we usually do.
You buy a box of choclates for your girls mother, you give them to her when you arrive to the house to collect the girl.
Take some pictures at the house of the pair of you before you leave, it'll keep the mum's happy.
You also buy a single rose to present to your girl, these are often gift wrapped, stupidly priced etc etc, but such is life.
Since you don't have a car, have you a close m8 who does, as when we went to our formal, we often doubled couples up, so I collected my m8, we went got my bird, then we went got his, and then we all went together. If you can't do that, then get a taxi.

Go to formal, enjoy the meal, enjoy the dancing, enjoy the lack of bar....
step 3.... profit
Then take her home at the end of the night, and then go home yourself.
 
We didn't even have a disco never mind a prom. Don't see the point of it myself. When I was at school, I wanted out of it, not spend longer at it or around the people from it.

Also, I didn't dance, nor like going out for meals.

For general information, the evenings are generally referred to as
'A Formal Dinner/Dance'
With the word format referring to the black tie attire one is expected to wear, it isn't remotely American, and certainly here, the schools tended to do them for upper6/final year students for the past 50 years. Now I think they sometimes do them for 5th year/GCSE kids too.

Dinner/Dances were often how couples met in Northern Ireland, with dances often being alcohol free and with live music of widely varying sorts. Formalising the events was often done by clubs or societies annually.
