OH NOOOOOOO
I just think it's something overblown and has no real purpose. It seems like a case of oneupmanship and sets people up to feel bad if they don't get one as great as their friends.
Do these seem like the most ridiculous things to anyone else?
In theory that sounds good. Except if the boy isn't creative or just isn't into it. Then the girl says no because her friends ridicule her because the boy just asked and didn't make it a production.Not particularly, no. I actually think they're kind of cute. It's good to see kids putting in some effort. If it's worth doing, it's worth overdoing, I always say.

Yes. When I first heard of it, I couldn't believe it. Just ask the person.
There is a rule in our High School that it's not allowed anymore because it got out of control. One boy used shaving cream along a group of lockers to ask the girl. He did it before school started for the day. Needless to say, he had to clean it up and the school immediately did the rule of elaborate asking of people to any dance is no longer being allowed. Basically if they want to do something fancy it has to be outside of school grounds.
I'm sure the school was thankful he didn't use spray paint.

I was sitting at a baseball game a few years ago, and there was a biplane circling above, with a banner saying "it's a boy!"Yes I think they are crazy.
I just wonder what these kids will expect when they are being proposed to now, well if my promposal involved a sky writer then.....
