Will do! Since I have not been asked, I intend to arrive solo with dance card on my wrist. If there is an empty space on my card and the music has started, I'll be on the dance floor.

hakima, for the helluva it, would you please consider saving the last dance for gb?

Dear Mr. Bobby,

I would love to reserve a dance for you.

Alas, the final space on my dance card has previously been filled.

Dear Ms. Hakima,

Thank you for granting my request:

"would you please consider saving the last dance for gb".

I know you'll have a memorable evening.

Dear Mr. Bobby...

I was too coy to be clear. Prior to your gracious request, the last dance had already been taken...

I apologize for my obscurity.

I have reserved another dance for you.

The bouncer will show you the steps. 😀

Will there be snacks? Guacamole? Artichoke dip? Those little toasted breads with mozarella cheese and stuff on it?

Dear Ms. Hakima...

Well, you did "consider" my request: "would you please consider saving the last dance for gb"; and then politely declined
due the fact that the last dance on your card had already been taken. With some immature high school girls the request may have been summarily ignored. You've 'reserved another dance for gb'? How kind and thoughtful. However, lol

Of course I'm pleased and happy that we're in the same senior class. Thanks again.

The kids my daughter's age approached Prom night quite differently than I did. A bunch of friends (with parental approval and $$) rented a limo to take them to and from the prom (typically to after-prom parties and/or a pizza joint). It wasn't as much of a boy asks girl couples thing, except for those who were going steady, and in many cases such couples were part of the larger group. I'm sure the usual substances were passed around but it was in a safer environment, not to mention free of the "who do I ask" and "will I be asked and by whom" teen angst. So I would say, I'll be there to engage with everyone, and if my wife wants to, she will too. That is, if the time coincides with us being at home and awake.🙂 How is this going to work?

I suggest a DJ playing nominated music, preferably from the years of their high school prom (or equivalent teen era dance event). I nominate Unchained Melody by the Righteous Brothers.

Edit: It's a great slow dance song.

Your exuberance is flattering and refreshing... 🙂

I will gladly reserve a dance for you.

We'd all enjoy meeting your lovely wife at our "1st Annual Red Hot Pawn Senior Prom providing she's an RHP Member.
If not, you'll have to invite a girl in our senior class [as will the rest of the senior boys] as your date for the evening.

JS, you'll need to discuss your suggestion on a "DJ playing nominated music" with sonhouse who has already weighed in.
