[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Boys don’t.

Most girls still care, and [b]they are really bummed that boys aren’t interested in dating girls any more[/b]. [/quote]

[b]I say this as a women and a teacher who’s observed the stupid promposals for years.  Make it stop.  There’s so much pressure it’s just not worth it. Many boys don’t want to go through the hassle of all that.  I wouldn’t if I were a boy and I think it comes off as high maintenance and I’m a woman.  [/b]

My son didn’t go to any of it but just because he didn’t like dances. My daughter goes with friends and is into the hair, make up and photos.

She was telling me how plenty go with dates and it’s all prearranged and the posters are nice.  She thinks I’m overreacting, thinking it’s putting pressure on these boys.  According to her, it’s nice they are putting in effort to show the girl they are worth it.

Come on! That’s too much pressure for a teen boy.  [/quote]

+1 that’s spot on.[/quote]

Agree. Also, DS doesn’t like being the center of attention and this puts him and the girl on the spot in a weird way. When we were kids, sometimes dating would come after a guy got up the nerve to ask the girl to homecoming. That would be the first date. Now, it’s harder to casually ask someone and why would you do a promposal for someone you have a crush on but might say no? But then if you don’t do one, she feels like a loser compared to her friends. Even if she doesn’t actually care about these things or won’t in a couple years, that’s hard as a teen. It is all stupid.
