They are fun because they’re cute, but each one raises the bar for those yet to be asked. When thinking of your Promposal, you must be careful not to do something someone else has already done. It’s also important to surprise the person you are asking, (word for the wise: confirm that you are going together beforehand or else it’s likely to get awkward). It’s a premeditated game of elaborate one-upmanship, like that seen in Game of Thrones.
However, Prom season is about much more than the asking. But, for some people, the asking matters more than prom itself. There are pre-proms, post-proms, shoes, accessories, and the most dubious of them all, the dresses. As junior Jordyn Weisberg says, “the dress is more of a commitment than your date.” Well, everyone prioritizes differently.

Yeah, and it seems to me like maybe not every girl would like a big ask- and it’s not super fair to expect the guys to one up each other.
