Prom etiquette; hooking up with your date

[lisa S]

ok, for starters, I know it's totally my call what does and doesn't happen and I shouldn't be pressured to do anything I don't want to do. Thanks mom!

That being said, is there any etiquette as far as like what's "expected?" The guy I'm going with--we're good friends, and that's it. Yes, we've hooked up several times but it was nothing more than just fooling around/ truth-or-dare-type stuff. Guys, do you "expect" anything? If so, what? Are you disappointed if you "only" get a hj? What about a bj? I know prom is all about having fun and like you'll always remember prom night. I don't care if stuff happens, but I guess I just want to be prepared.

For prom,you both should wear formal clothes.The guy should put the corsage on you and you should put the boutonnière on him.The nice thing to do is take pictures and have dinner before you go.I don't expect anything after prom like a hand or blow job but I'd be very happy to get one and I'm not disappointed if I don't get that.

I've been to two proms and both times my dates kinda knew that I'd take care of the because we had already done thing in the past.

Sorry I'm really not helping you out.

Ew. I mean really?

The slutty girls are probably expected to give out, but anyone half-decent doesn't expect/want anything sexual after prom. They just want to have a pleasant evening enjoying their friends/partners company and if things go well, date further afterwards or just have great memories of the night.

Isn't it mainly those stupid teen comedies/horror films that have all the kids having sex afterwards? Sounds grim.

Unless you're going with your boyfriend/ girlfriend/ friend with benefits then I wouldn't be going expecting something to happen.

Prom is always going to be about having a good time with friends whilst dressed in formal clothing rather than the hastily given blowjob that many seem to be expecting afterwards.

I went to my first prom and didn't expect anything, the most recent one I went with my girlfriend so that explains that.

This past year, I didn't go to prom, because a) I don't really like dressing formally and b) I had no date! But, I think most people go into prom expecting nothing more than a good time with their dates/friends. Really, I think it's just for the chance to say "I went to prom." I, personally, wouldn't expect anything from the girl I went with. If something happened naturally, though, I wouldn't be upset about. ;)

Yeah group dating is very common, and it also is being considered a LOT safer in many respects.

It also conveniently gives boys and girls to circumvent their parents to go to an event under the label of "being single" and then once at the event they can "pair off" with the guy(s) / gal(s) of their choice.
