The Prom Problem: Dates (boys and girls)

Previously on the Prom Problem: the series was brought back for 2014!

Hey guys! Welcome back to The Prom Problem. Today we are going to talk all about the date problem. Boy or girl, everyone stresses over who they are going to prom with...it's practically a right of passage. If you have any specific situations that you want me to address, feel free to leave them below and I will make a follow up post. Today I am just going to go through three common situations and give my advise. Of course you do not have to follow my advise if you find yourself in any of these situations, but these are my solutions to common prom date problems. I will be doing another one of these in. The future so keep an eye out for three more date problems!

Situation 1:
My friend and I have been planning to go to Senior prom together since we were in fifth grade. We made an agreement way back then that if neither of is were dating anyone come Senior prom, we would go together. Well, prom is coming up and we are both single so he prom posed and I said yes. Since then, he has been acting like he is interested in me as more than a friend. However, I am not interested in him and don't want him to get the wrong idea (but I don't want to ruin our friendship either). What do I do?

Solution 1:
This is a tricky situation because the guy is your friend. I recommend laying low and try to pretend like you haven't noticed that he is interested. If you act like he is the same friend as he always has been, he may realize that you are not interested. With that said, I would not go out of my way to hang out with him alone for a little bit. Also, make sure that you are hanging out with other guy friends so that it doesn't look to him like he is the only man in your life.

Situation 2:
This girl and I have been friends for a while so I decided to ask her to prom. I made a big
Proposal and everything. In the moment she said yes, but then she changed her mind. I don't want to loose her as a friend but I feel like I already have. What do I do?

Solution 2:
Maybe your friend thought that you were interested in her as more than a friend but she does not feel the same way about you. Maybe that is the truth. I deff would suggest NOT asking her a second time. You may feel like you want to but that is not the right move as it will make her feel even more uncomfortable. I would just continue to be her friend normally but not be all over her. I would also recommend asking another friend to be your date and maybe do it in a less public way so she dose
not feel pressure to say yes because she does not want to embarrass you in public by saying no. Then you will get an honest answer. Hopefully, it will be a good one.

Situation 3:
I haven't come out of the closet yet but I am homosexual. I want to ask a girl (or guy respectively) to prom this year but I am afraid that everyone will judge me. What should I do?

Solution 3:
First of all, your sexuality is nothing to be ashamed of. Of course there are going to be nasty people who are going to judge you. But you just have to ignore them and not let them get to you. If you want to ask someone of the same gender, you absolutely should. If you do not feel ready to come out, then then it is totally fine to go with someone of the opposite gender. However, if you are ready to publicly express yourself them you should go for it and don't worry about what your peers think. If they have a problem with it, they are the ones at fault. There is nothing wrong with being homosexual.

That is it for today's episode of the Prom Problem.  Next I am going to talk all about this years dress styles and some things that have changed since last prom season.

Project Runway 10-15-15 Recap Review

Previously on Project Runway: The designers gave members of the Project Runway crew a makeover. Hey guys! Welcome to this week's Project Runway Recap Review! We are getting closer and closer to fashion week each episode and the competition is getting tight. At this point, any of the designers could go home. Last week was packed with drama...but...its a new week, and a fresh slate, so lets get started. Challenge: The five remaining designers will make an outfit inspired by the New York City bridges (Queensborough, Brooklyn, Manhattan). The designers were assigned a bridge from the black bag of doom. Each designer created a textile with a 3-D printer that they had to incorporate into their garment. This is an Avant Garde challenge. Thoughts In The Workroom:  I'm not so sure what I think about 3-D printers...comment down below and let me know what you think about them (in general, not just in fashion). Candice made a good choice not using black again this week. Designers wh...

The Prom Problem: Underwear (Clean)

Previously on the Prom Problem:  I talked about Bra's for Prom. All the special types that may be the best option for your dress. This Week: I thought that it would only be natural to talk about Underwear next. Underwear lines plague everyone at some point but prom is the last place that you want them to show up.Today we will be solving those nasty underwear lines.  I know that everyone has different opinions about sharing underwear secrets online because it is private I guess for some people, but honestly, I think that it is okay as long as your not doing anything inappropriate. I am just saying this to let you guys know that this post is totally clean so if your thinking "oh my gosh what is she going to show us?" Don't worry about it...you can keep reading. On that note, lets take a look at a few solutions to The Underwear Problem. Solution 1: Thongs I am going to talk about thongs first because I think that they are the most common solution for panty lines. ...

Special Post- Inner Beauty- The NJ Sharing Network

Hey guys! I have always intended for this blog to be totally dedicated to beauty and fashion, however, this post is going to be a bit different. Well, I mean, it does kind of fit because all the beauty on the outside does not matter if you are not a beautiful person on the inside (which I am sure that all of you are). Recently, my little sister (Linda) had a kidney transplant. She received her new kidney from an organization called the NJ Sharing Network. The NJ Sharing Network is an organization which connects donor families with recipients. I wanted to help give back to the organization that gave my little sister so much...so I created a team for their annual 5K run. My team is called Linda's Home Team. Last year, my team raised around $3000 dollars for the NJ Sharing Network. This year, we are hoping to surpass that. It would mean the world to me if you guys would follow the link below to my page and give a donation to my team. Every penny counts. I love all of my re...
