But it's ok for your girls to be so passive?

I don't have girls. But if I did, I would not encourage them to ask boys out on dates, no.

If I may, How old are your children? Why do you feel girls shouldn't ask boys on dates?

I have a daughter, and would advise her not to do the asking, but I can't explain why. Maybe you can articulate better than I. (Other girls should do whatever they want, and I'd probably "let" my daughter ask if she insisted.)

And to OP -- thanks for sharing a very cute story!

I am not a PP but I am raising daughters and I would not advise them to ask the boy to prom either. In my family, it is self explanatory. Kids do have a good understanding about man and woman, about their physiological and psychological differences (all kids are into the STEM), and what are those differences entail to. Girls been taught manners since the childhood and they have certain expectations from a man. At the age of 16-17 they don't need any explanation why she should not have to ask boy to prom. The girls know how to make a boy to ask them to prom. If you have not teach your girls a skill how to deal with a boy/man, maybe it is a good time to catch up on that.

Make a boy ask them? Jesus.

As explained earlier in this thread, Jesus wants girls to manipulate boys into asking them out or wait around passively hoping to get asked out. It's in the Bible, you know.

I love how some people can't debate without deameaning others who have different views from theirs. How "tolerant" of you previous poster.

I am wondering what physiological differences between girls and boys preclude girls from asking boys to prom.

Because boys like to chase girls. They like to feel like they've won a prize. And that doesn't happen when the girl asks them.

I'm OP. You're so wrong. I know my son feels like he won the jackpot with this date.

Great. So, the lesson he gets is just sit back and wait. Eventually, a girl you like will ask you out. Or not.

Get back to us when he's 30 and living in your basement, waiting for life to ask him out.

Exactly, no woman wants a passive man. Passitivity is a way to have a son who can't keep a girlfriend or one who moves his mini family into your home because he was taught to be "laid- back" and be pursued. This will translate in his employment opportunities as well.

Ahem. SOME Americans are crazy. Unfortunately it seems that the crazy ones are louder than the non-crazy ones.

Women/girls are prey, according to your metaphor. Ick.

My husband is passive, kind, works hard. It works out. There is someone there for everyone.

I think I just threw up.

That biblical standards post can't be real.

It's the prom. It's a friendly date and a lifetime milestone all at the same time.

If a girl wants to ask a boy to the prom it is no big deal. Having a date is nice.

It's not real. It's the prom, not a wedding.

It's a real post just like the other posts. Not everyone engages in group think. In fact, the Bible mentions being careful of group think too. “Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will.”
??Romans? ?12:2? ?NIV??

No, the lesson is a girl wanted to go to prom with him, so she asked. What the hell is wrong with you?

+ 1. They’re coming out of the woodwork today. I guess this sheds light on the surprising number of women who voted for Trump.

You do realize you've probably been responding to trolls, right? None of the women I know who voted for Trump feel this way. Including me.
