on behalf of everybody who never got asked to dance in high school... the hearts mean a lot to us


I don't want to sound like a character in a Lifetime movie, but even though I'm more confident and less bashful than I was in high school, I still never really expect things like a valentine heart. It truly means a lot, to everybody of course but especially those of us who still kind of think of ourselves as wallflowers. Thanks so much!
it's a huge thread full of pathetic people who's only friends are at DU (friends only so long as they obey group-think that is).

Good moling practice to claim to have been bullied and a loser in school.

Well, I always found for the women that shaving your beard and possibly your armpits in the weeks leading up to a dance helps.

No means yes. Great lesson to teach little girls that they can't tell boys no.

   Mom upset after school tells 6th graders they can’t say no when asked to dance

WEST HAVEN, Utah - When Natalie Richard’s sixth-grade daughter told her she couldn’t say “no” if a boy asked her to dance at Kanesville Elementary’s Valentine’s Day dance, she didn’t believe it at first.

“Oh no, no honey," Richard said of her reply. "You guys are misunderstanding again. That’s not how it is."

However, after speaking to her daughter’s teacher, she realized the statement was accurate.

“The teacher said she can’t. She has to say yes. She has to accept and I said, 'Excuse me,” Richard told KSTU.

 :o As best I can tell, many or most DUers are over 50. :o  ::) They still haven't gotten over the trivial trauma of never having been asked to a high school dance? ::)

I assume hearts need paid for... so to me this is nothing more than begging.

I don't recall whom it was, maybe californiapeggy from the DUmp that has a tasty spot for the aching seeds that young males may posses. 

Seems like a private dance outside the crowd would release the seeds they so desire? No?

I graduated from HS a year early so I only went for 2 years.  I put in my time and didn't do things like dances and the like. I was happy to be done - HS was neither great nor bad for me.

I have never understood HS reunions much less why people hang on to HS (maybe people don't and it a TV meme like every adult having mom (daughters) or dad (sons) issues.  I barely remember anything.

However I never saw, much less experienced, the stereotyped bullying of nerds by jocks portrayed by Big Bang Theory and also every TV show that touches on the subject.  As in I think it is an urban myth.

When you are fat, ugly and smell bad it is your own fault you are not popular.

Maybe the hearts are to raise money for hilliary's next campaign or for some cheap wine to keep her quiet. :lmao: :lmao: :lmao: :lmao:

Went stag for my prom. Zero self confidence, all that. For whatever reason, walked up to the hottest girl in my class (blonde, figure skater,etc...) asked her for the last dance and got it. Turns out she came to the prom lesbo so I could've entered the room with 2 chicks if I'd had the confidence

I guess I don't get it.
Had no real interest in going to dances at that age, we had plenty of other unsupervised things we would much rather be doing at the time.
I did get asked to a prom twice and went both times, but going to the actual dance was a 15 minute ordeal... see a few faces, get your picture taken, say kiss my arse, then leave. There were far too many other interesting events to attend than hanging around that place if you didn't have to.
I had an interesting group in my school. I was friends with the rich kids and the greasy party animals at the same time... and I was neither. Somehow I managed to fit in on both sides and no one ever tried to categorize me. We just had a lot of good people in my school, so I don't have the carry-over hatred that I see a lot of people display.
I do find it entertaining that the DUmpasses put some sort of value on being asked to a HS dance though. I hope it tortures them for all of their days

I remember the Proms that I attended fondly.

I have to acknowledge though that it was a very different time as men were men and women were kind of like what men are now.

Thanks!

As expected, most DUmmies have been miserable losers their whole lives.

Ralphie could have been that way.  I leaned Democrat in high school, and did quite well academically.  However, I was also talented at several sports.  Grew approximately 9 inches between 8th & 9th grades.  Ditched my glasses for contact lenses.

While never super popular, became well known in high school for baseball, basketball & golf.  And later, an editor of the high school paper.  Choose a great University, and my personality emerged.  Became a conservative through business school.

I'm not stuck in perpetual misery & looking back and dwelling on it.
