I didn’t have the luxury of Prom ever possibly being anything more than just another exercise in futility. I get to stand around and be ignored while my friends are trying to get laid AND I HAVE TO PAY FOR IT?!

lmao, its really not that different here, other than there just being fewer of us.
Why are Some of the words Randomly Capitalized?
“shellfish”
You mean sea insects?
I saw “I literally could careless” and almost had a stroke.
Dunno about that, but IANAL.
None, the insanity I sometimes encounter can be entertaining. I’ll just log off if its too much.
AHEM
Good.
Anecdotally, I had two female coworkers that acted the same way around me, kinda flirty but in a more friendly way, I felt, rather than trying to hint at anything. One said “EWW” out loud when someone suggested we date, and the other told me way after the fact that she was super in to me and I should have made a move.
The women I’ve actually dated made an effort to make sure our feelings were not only known, but reciprocated before laying down the “rizz” too much. I have no problem lightly flirting with someone that has no desire for a relationship, its fun, but that can’t be the only sign you’re in to someone when it isn’t even REALLY a sign for a lot of people.
I’ve only ever seen the last panel of this, delightful.
This is my brother now, in his mid 20s. His metabolism is out of control. I’m pretty jealous.
An engagement ring is something she’ll have for the rest of her life
The rest of the marriage**
Everyone I knew that made prom a big deal 100% peaked in high school, and incidentally, were the “popular” kids. So, it colors the perception a bit for me.
