Good thing really.

Your girl sounds lovely, good luck.

Nah, I have never said that I am going to high school ball.

Pharmacy Ball = Uni Ball.

To be honest, I have already started planning for the ball 6 months ahead. A friend has been providing me guidance on to-dos on the night, but she couldn't provide me any help on the dancing bit, which still concerns me.

There are plenty of guides on Wikihow on dancing, but not much information on dancing with a partner to non-classical music.

I have just noticed your last comment, Steve. Trust me, my dad won't take up dancing no matter what might pressure on him. :D

Cheers :)

I did attend the school ball and graduation dinner last year. I went solo for the first one, while I asked a Kiwi girl out for the dinner.

572233 2007-07-25 10:00:00 Hey man don't worry about it. I had similar tellings about my ball just before the holidays and well I got over them. Just follow the other guys lead for the dancing is correct, **** before ball night I had never danced in my life. Just show some confidence and it will go smoothly on the dance floor. Oh and look her in the eyes not else where, I got in **** for that lol.

Really just have a good night, you should know everyone is a bit like this. It is just one of those good life experiences and I am really glad I didn't chicken out. Have fun!

572234 2007-07-25 10:33:00 Balls/Proms/Dances are overrated save the money you'd spend on hiring a suit and the ball ticket and buy a crate or if you must spend time with this woman take her out to dinner. Plus the crate can double as a handy seat ;)

As I am not sure. I hesitate to give advice on relationships.
A crate of what may I ask?

If you read then you might notice that a question was asked. You may notice the words "activities" "drugs" and etc.

And possibly learn. I still learn today.

572235 2007-07-25 10:49:00 Why not take a couple of private dancing lessons together - They are available for couples - it is quite a good business - my daughter is a dancing teacher and a good percentage of the business is crash lessons for couples getting married so that they can dance at the reception. Raise the issue with your partner, she might even offer to pay half the costs of lessons.
A formal ball should be a civilised and pleasant evening, not an opportunity to get pissed, act boorishly and demonstrate to the world what a slob one can be.
Don't be ashamed to act like a gentleman - ladies like to be treated properly.
