The most romantic thing that could
happen for prom is.....this guy--let's
just call him Tim--was to walk up to me
one day and pull me away from my
friends and say "I'm so sorry for
everything. My life has been empty and
meaningless without you. I've thought of
you every day since I let you slip away
from me. I can't believe I ever let you
go, I was just scared. You were so
perfect and I knew I didn't deserve you
from the moment I saw you. I know you
don't owe me anything and there is no
reason you should even give me a chance
but I promise you if you let me escort
you to prom I will never let you feel
even one ounce of pain because I truly
love you." Then I would say "I don't
know, you really hurt me and I don't
know if I will ever be able to forgive
you.", and I would just walk away. He
would feel what I had to go through
twice. Then for the weeks before prom
he would go around doing little romantic
gestures. Like putting roses in my
locker and writing me love notes. Until
I finally decided that I would go with
him and give him one final chance. He
would arrive at my house in a tux with
a dozen red roses and a limo. Then we
would proceed to a beautiful restaurant
where he would tell me how thankful he
was that I accepted his offer and we would
just talk like we used to. Then we
would go to the prom and everyone would
be incredibly jealous because "Tim" is
so incredibly hot and I would be the
belle of the ball. I would practically
glow compared to the others. Everyone I
hate would fall on their a** and have
the most horrible evening. "Tim" would
go tell "Kyla" that she never had a
chance with him and the only reason he
ever even spoke to her was to get
closer to me. She would be devastated.
Then out of the blue I would be named
prom queen and "Trevor" would be named
prom king. I would thank "Trevor" for
always being my friend and always being
there when I needed him and tell him
that I would have liked to have given
"us" a chance. Then we would dance one
final dance and I would proceed to leave
with my date. We would then go to post-
prom and party til dawn. Then my
wonderful evening would come to an end
as the limo drove us home. We would get
to my house and share the most
beautiful pure kiss anyone has ever
experienced. Then we would live happily
ever after. ;) (Now tell me that's not
the most romantic thing you've ever
heard.)

My first prom isn't until July, and i don't know whether it would
be called Junior or Senior, because for England it is just the end of school
before college. Then, i realised, it's going to be such a disappointment.
For me, prom is meant to be all about romance with your boyfriend... I am
very romantic at heart, and i would love to be asked out with poetry,
picked up by him wearing a tie that matches my dress, driven in a limo,
given roses and chocolate, hold hands, slow-dance together, have prom photos
together, watch the sunset on a beach after prom, be taken to a surprise
candlelight dinner, make a toast to each other....but, it is not going to
happen. Guys just don't seem to understand what romance is and, especially
in my school, i will be lucky if i even get a date, let alone flowers.

When my boyfriend proposes to me. I don't have a BF right now, but
I have this fantasy about the night and day that we'll get engaged: NYC, the
day of the annual lighting of the Christmas tree at Rockfeller Center... we
go skating and out to dinner at a nice restaurant, go back to the tree for
the lighting... just as they light up the tree and the choirs and bands
start singing and playing "Silent Night" and whatnot, he'll drop to one knee
and propose, with the box open in his hand to display the diamond ring...

i think the most romantic time at prom
would be that your date picks you up in
a white strech limosine and then takes
you to a really fancy restruant. when
you arrive at prom he dances with you
all night then you go out for a evening
drive, and you stop by a beautiful
place and he makes out with you. as
long as you don't go to far. the sun is
in the clouds. they look red and orange
in color.

To go to prom and have your man waiting there
in front of hundreds of people, with a handful
of roses, and he's singing your favorite song
through a microphone. After that, he gets down
on his knees and asks you to marry him, after a
three year relationship. Then, as you are in prom,
he plays the song from when you met, and the
students just let the two of you have the dance
floor for that one particular dance.

The most romantic thing that could
happen to me for prom is that I would
be with the guy that I want to spend
the rest of my life with. He would
pick me up (doesn't have to be in a
limo or even a nice car, as long as I'm
with him, I'll be the happiest girl
ever!) Then we would go to eat and then
to prom where we would have the time of
our lives and see how awesome all our
friends look. After prom we would go
to a secluded field where we could just
talk to each other all nite and watch
the sun rise while in a deep embrace.

The most Romantic moment that my
boyfriend could give to me would be to
pick me up tell me i'm beatiful and go
for an awesome dinner. Then after that
take me to our spot at the park on the
same bridge that we had our first kiss
and have candle's set up, our song
playing, and kiss me like the first time
which made me feel like i wasn't on
earth. Then slip a promise ring on my
finger and tell me his feelings. After
that whisk me away to the dance and...

I think the most romantic and fun
(graduation) prom I could ever go to
would start with first me and my
friends all go out to dinner and have
a nice girls only time. then we'd all
pile into a couple cars and head back
to my friend stephs house. all our
guys dates would pile into a stretch
limo and come pick us up. my b/f would
come to the door with flowers and a
slight yet serious smile on his
face...then wed all get into the limo
and drive around for a while. he'd
tell me he was going to make this the
best night of my life..and id doubt it
but id be proved wrong in time...then
we'd get to the dance..the last formal
dance wed be together at in high
school..we'd go in and dance and have
a blast. and then on the last dance
they would play "Forever Young" by
Alphaville, and we'd dance slow and
embrace each other and hope the night
would never end. then id look at him
and hed be looking at me and he'd say
something like "I love you, I want to
be with you forever" and id look into
his deep eyes, speechless, and he
would kiss me more loving then ever
before. we'd stop in the middle of the
dancefloor and kiss passionately as a
crowd grew around us. theyd all be so
happy as they knew how much we loved
each other..i'd feel as if i was in a
dream and there would be fog on the
floor..it would be as if in slow
motion..and when this last song ended
they would smile silently for a moment
and people would slowly start to
clap...we'd look at each other
silently and with tears of joy in my
eyes i would embrace him and say "oh
Terry, I love you!"....we'd get cheers
and flowers thrown at us as we walked
towards the beautifully decorated
doorway..then wed stop in the doorway
and one final kiss before we left the
dance, and we'd get one final
cheer..then we would walk hand in hand
into a small limo waiting just for us,
and we'd drive to the most romantic
spot. there would be a waterfall, a
stream, with beautiful flowers and
trees all around. a small hill near
the stream would serve as our romance
spot..we'd stand on this spot against
a full moon and be silouetted by the
light..the light would hit just right
enough to create a blue-ish glow on
our faces..and at that moment he would
stand on one knee and say to
me.."Roses are red, daisys are white,
please take this ring, and be my wife"
I would graciously accept and sit on
the hill with him..we'd kiss for what
seems like forever on the clearest
night in summer. every star in the sky
would be seen above, and every moment
would be filled with true love.

Just having a good time with the man I
love would be it for me. Especially if
something unorthodox or silly happens
so I can always remember it by.

Hey-I'm only 13 but I have a lot of
high school friends. When prom time
rolls around I hear a lot of talk about
prom. All I can say is that when i'm
old enough to go to prom I want
everything to be perfect. The GUY,
hair, shoes, jewelry etc.For the whole
romantic gig I'm thinking that my BIG
crush would wait til last moment, when
I've given up ALL hope and I have
decieded to stay home and pig out on
ice cream and watch depressing movies,
to come to my house (while i'm asleep)
with roses and some hoplessly romantic
excuse for not asking me sooner, so
when I wake up the morning of the prom
he's there. Then we spend the entire
day together. Like brekfast on the top
of his car, and WE go to places to
talk.To top it off he picks me up later
for the prom with more roses and a limo
and we have a great time.

When my date picks me up, when my mom opens the door and my boyfriends says "Wow your beautiful!" then he walks up to me and kisses me passoitaly. Also when the prom is over and everyone goes to their parties, and he looks at me and says baby lets go somewhere alone for a little while, then I'll give him the look ;) and he'll say "No, no, no, not to have sex just to hold each other for a little while.
The reason I say this is because my boyfriend and I have been together for almost a year and he has known how I feel on the whole sex thing since the first date. I want to be married before I take that step, I have plans for my future and so does he, so we've decided to wait. I mean don't get me wrong there have been times that it's hard to stop oursleves, but we always have, and plan on it until we are married
I'am only 17 but I just wanna say to
all those other girls and boys who
want to take that step, don't do it,
espicailly on prom night make it
romantic something he or she will want
to remember and be safe!!!!!
