The Dirt: What guys really think of formals


 

Check these out, too...

  • The Real Deal: Why guys hate shopping
  • Saved the best for last day
  • Is there a way to flirt without being obvious?
  • Puppy love? Puh-lease
Getting all glammed up and hitting the dance floor sounds like a blast for us girls. But guys, well, it’s hard to tell. They pull at their ties and complain about buying corsages, but when they get out there it seems they have some fun. We don’t want to force our BFs or BGFs to do something they’re not in to, and those mixed messages make it hard for us to get enthusiastic about getting them to go. So let’s peak into their minds and see what they really think:
 
“They’re fun in Texas. I don’t know about [everywhere else]. The dancing or after party is my favorite.” –William S., 16
 
“A lot of guys probably think formals are lame. I have no problem dressing up. Every guy would rather just be alone with the girl, and not go out at all, or at least a party.” –Drew G., 15
 
“Good excuse for new Facebook profile picture and can be fun. Good like reuniting everyone putting their best foot forward face.” –Yohnny R., 17
 
“Dances are fun, and a good way to hang out with kids from school. I’ll go to one if it doesn’t cost too much” –Calvin C., 14
 
“I usually dread dances before I go, but once I’m there, I have a lot of fun. Especially if I like the group I’m with.” –Jack E., 15
 
 

Love this post? You’ll heart these too…

There's this guy at my church's youth group. I kind of like him. He doesn't even know me though. I'm in middle school, he's in high school. Will he think I'm weird if I talk to him? How do I get to know him? He usually plays pool at the pool table. What can I say to get his attention? If I introduce myself, it'll sound like I like him. What are some ways to talk to him without looking desperate? Thanksss

Hey girlie,

That might be a big age difference, but if you're at the end of middle school and he's at the beginning of high school it might not matter as much. If you like pool, you could challenge him to a game, or if you don't want to introduce yourself one on one, you could go over with a few friends and all introduce yourselves. It will also be more comfortable to get to know him if your friends are there. Good luck girlie!

Thanks for answering! I think it might be a bit soon to ask him if he likes me, so I was thinking of writing him a tbh. I don't want to look desperate. How's this: "tbh: you look like Ken from toy story 3 lol. I had fun last night. Sorry about that one kick! Oh yeah and we should talk more."

 

Hey isabellec, that's so cute! Send that! Xoxo Smile

MOD MOD MOD!!!!!! PLEASE HELP ME!!!!
So I like this guy that goes to my church, but we've never really talked before! I'm too nervous to talk to him in real life. We're friends on Facebook and I'd really like to message him one day, but I have NO idea how to message him without being awkward. Cause we've never really introduced ourselves to each other and a simple "hey" is just boring. I REALLY REALLY REALLY want to talk to him, but I don't know what to talk about! Please help me!

 

Hey megagirrl, try making eye contact and waving to him when you see him. You could introduce yourself to him by saying something like "Hey, I'm (your name). We're Facebook friends right?" and take it from there. Hope this helps! Xoxo Smile
