10 no-fail prom convo starters

 
 

Check these out, too...

  • Saved the best for last day
Things can quickly get awkward at the prom when the conversation runs dry between you and your date. To avoid the uncomfortable silence, here are a few convo starters you can use to keep your cutie chatting all night long.

 

1. “How did you do on the test?” Asking questions about classes will show your interest in how he is doing in school and can spark more convos about teachers and other assignments.
 
2. “What shows do you watch?” Everyone has a OMG-love-it T.V. show and even if you haven’t seen his favorite show you can use that as an opportunity to ask him to fill in the deets. At least half an hour can be spent talking about the background and characters on a show.
 
3. “Have you heard the new (artist’s name) song?” Music is the most universal human connecter in the world. You guys can talk about how much you both love the hottest new hit. If he isn’t into the same tunes as you, this gives you the opportunity to ask more about the music he does likes.
 
4. “What’s your fave food?” Now this might sound like a silly thing to ask someone, but as we get older our taste pallets expand and we start to love all kinds of new foods. Talk about what you love or hate to eat, or even the best grub spot in town.
 
5. “Do you have any pets?” There are very few things people love more than their pets (case in point: YouTube vids). Our presh pets always have funny quirks, which often make for really cute stories.
 
6. “What do you think you will want to study in college?” Most upperclassmen have this question on their minds. If college is too far away, you can always ask if he’s doing any sports next year.
 
7. “What are your plans for the summer?” With the end of the school year just around the corner, this is a go-to question. Plus, it gives you an opportunity to make plans to hang out over vacay.

 

8. “Did you hear about any after-parties?” This is a good way to talk about all of the different get-togethers going on after the dance and deciding which one would be best for you both. This also makes it quite clear to your date that you wanna keep spending time with him.
 
9. “I really like her dress. What do you think?” Everyone will look awesome so there will be so much to say. Don’t feel like you are limited to talking about dresses either. Make him feel more comfortable by commenting on guys’ outfits too.
 
10. "Let's get our picture taken.” Most party-goers get their pictures taken at the dance, but the line is always so long when you first get there. Wait for the line to go down some and save it for when things get quiet between the two of you. Keep the chatter going with bringing up goofy childhood pics or photography.
 
I hope these conversation starters help to keep the chitchat flowing between you and your date. Remember to have fun, don’t get stressed out, and boogie the night away. Your prom night will be awesome!

I'm looking for things to do this summer. I'd like a job, but since I am a young teenager, it is unlikely that I would get hired at most places. Volunteer jobs would be fine too. But I've searched a lot online and I haven't found very much. Do you have any tips on searching or ideas of things I could do? I'd love to be a camp counselor, but I'm not old enough because most places require you to be a college student. I'd also love to be a waitress. And I'd also love a job related to books or writing, but I can't find any of those either. Any ideas? Thanks.



At most places, you can't get a job at this age.  Your best bet is to try typical teenage summer jobs like working a poolstand, a snowball stand, dogwalking, babysitting, plant care, etc. Jordan S.

so i have a crush on this kid in my spanish class. The thing is, he is a grade younger than me, and I only see him in that one class period and occasionally in the halls. But he is like, a foot taller than me and really cute, is always really sweet and I can always talk to him about whats bugging me and he talks to me about that too. His girlfriend was mad at him once and asked me what to do and i sorta saved his relationship with her (with a little help from GL, THANK YOU!!! Smile even though i liked him. But now they broke up. he sends me really cute texts and it hasnt been even a week since they broke up. The other day he sent me this really long text and it was the definiton of my name and was really sweet, and when i lost my soccer game i told him and he said he was thinking about my game the whole day. And he sent me a text "dont take this the wrong way... but u have a cute voice Smile" umm. i just want to know if it sounds like he could like me and if it would work out.



Hey babe,

He DEFINITELY sounds like he might be into you.  Step up the flirting, girlie.  Maybe even ask to hang out one-on-one sometime soon.
