Traditionally,it is always the boy who should ask the girl to the prom.But social mores have changed greatly.Now,it has already become absolutely acceptable for a girl to ask a boy to be her prom date.As for who should be invited to the prom,it depends on how long you have known each other,and remember that it is wise to choose someone who is good at intercommunicating and dancing.Just think ahead: you are going to be with that person for an entire evening.This is not the time to ask someone out that you don’t know very well and it is definitely not the time or place for a blind date.You should make your invitation to the chosen date in person,at least a month or more before the prom so that your date can have plenty of time for reserving a tux or searching for special dress.Once you accept an invitation to a prom,you are committed.Everybody knows the story about the girl who kept waiting for the better prom invitation that was never made.It is incredibly rude and cruel to cancel a prom date or turn down an invitation because you have a “travel plan on that date” but then show up to the prom with another date.It has become acceptable for the participants of a prom to go either solo or in groups,so getting a date is no longer the issue it once was.Now,many people attend their proms solo and organize a group of friends to go together and sit at the same table.This gives everyone a chance to attend their prom without the pressure of having a formal date.
