Sorry for your experience. I had a date for my prom, but if I could go 15 years into the past, I wouldn't go again. To this day, I'm convinced that proms, balls, or any other kind of formal event are only excuses for women to dress up (and get their men to dress up), so they can show off to each other. As for your infatuation with that girl, yeah it's tough, but you will get over it -- even if it doesn't feel like you will right now. Keep your chin up! If you need to blow off some steam, take about a three-mile run...

About midway through, she moved her purse to another table (or, actually, had someone else do it). I don't know what table it eneded up at; never saw it again.

I did see her a few times, but before I could get a word in, something happened. One time, I was just about to open my mouth to ask her to dance, when some other guy got to her first and asked. The second, I was right there, about to tap her shoulder, when another guy I knew stepped up, had to do the hand shake and all that social business, and by the time I turned around, she was gone again. A third time, I managed to talk to her a little bit, even get a picture with her with my camera, but she got pulled away by one of her friends practically in mid-sentence.

The next time I saw her, she said it was time for her to go. So I walked her down to my car, got her stuff out so she could take it with her (she put it in there because her friend had not shown up who she was going to spend the night with; first words I heard from her was "Can I put my stuff in your car?" No hello, not even a wave), said goodbye, and went home.

If there were parties afterward (I know there were), I wasn't in any mood to go to them.

EDIT: I also wanted to get her a corsage, one of those "dately" things to do. She said she wasn't big on the tradition and stuff, but I wanted to get her one anyway, as sort of a surprise. That didn't work out either.

Basically, NOTHING worked out for me at Prom. Not a single thing.
Don't take this lying down. If I were you, I'd confront her and fucking demand my money back. One fucking picture isn't worth the $100 or so you spent on that ticket for her sorry ass. She's obviously a bitch, and the corsage deal just makes her an ungrateful cunt, to boot. If she doesn't even have the decency to dance with the guy that paid her way, then she's a whore, as well.

In short, I can see nothing positive or attractive in this girl.
You were entitled to a blowjob at least for what you did.

*hugs RI and kisses his cheek* Sweetie, I'm sorry that girl turned out to be such a bitch. I don't have any idea what kind of justifications she had in her head about why she did what she did to you, but you didn't deserve ANY of that so don't think that you did. She should have treated you better, and believe me, a few years down the road, I bet she'll be kicking herself because she'll be preggo with her third kid and living in a shithole with an abusive drug addict or something instead of with a sweet, thoughtful, considerate sweetheart like yourself.

She's a stupid bitch, but we're not all like that, I promise. *hugs again* I hope you feel better soon.

Hey, wait a minute, buying someone a ticket to a dance is a valid way of buying sex, now is it?
Listen, the only time that you can justifabily claim you're entitled to sex is when you've picked up the girl in Kings Cross and handed over a tenner.

In normal, polite society, nothing ever entitles you to sex, and don't you dare forget it!

Nothing? My wife and I were sort of under the impression that marriage entitles you to sex :)

Actually, no.
That law was dispensed with in the early 80s, IIRC.

Must be regional. Around here, if you don't have sex, then you can have the marriage annuled on grounds that it was never consummated.

Hmmm... maybe.
I was thinking of the 'rape within marriage' legislation.
So maybe it entitles you to sex once.

The state of marriage can be legally reversed so that it never existed (even more extreme than divorce), if sex doesn't occur. Naturally any such sex has to be consensual. After that point a marriage can only be sundered by divorce, but I do not believe late of a sex life remains a grounds for divorce even in the U.S. (and even if it did such a sex life would have to be consensual.) These laws probably do need some revision, as the entire annulment thing is based on the Catholic ideal of marriage.
