Proms are awsome, you'll have lots of fun. I realize that you don't feel comfortable around him, thats normal. But if you ignore him then it will just get worse. Talk to him, learn about him! He goes to your church, so its not like he is a rapist or anything!

"Proms are awsome, you'll have lots of fun."
I thought prom was expensive and boring and it overall sucked.
I realize that you don't feel comfortable around him, thats normal."
You think it is 'normal' for a girl to be nervous around another student? Maybe there is something wrong with him to make her nervous, maybe she is overly nervous. Forcing a union doens't sound healthy.
"But if you ignore him then it will just get worse."
Why? Will he start stalking her? that doesn't seem like a good idea to get closer to someone like that.
"Talk to him, learn about him!"
Even if she makes him nervous?
"He goes to your church, so its not like he is a rapist or anything!"
Right, 'cause nobody that goes to church has ever done anything wrong, crime is ONLY caused by non-believers in christ, duh!
And does promgirl ever get to the prom or is she now featured on the back of a milk carton?
<<< Proms are awsome, you'll have lots of fun. >>>
Didn't go to mine. I would have had more fun watching paint dry (as it was, I just got together with a few of my friends who had similar opinions about the merits of prom).
<<< I realize that you don't feel comfortable around him, thats normal. >>>
Depends on how uncomfortable. Being nervous, particularly on a first date, isn't unusual at all - but if it's anything more than that, there's a good chance something is wrong. The worst advice you can ever give to someone when something seems out of place is to ignore it.
<<< But if you ignore him then it will just get worse. >>>
I'm going to be charitable and interpret this to mean that the nerves will get worse. Might be true, in that case - but if Redhunter's interpretation is correct, this is seriously bad advice.
<<< He goes to your church, so its not like he is a rapist or anything! >>>
There it is, folks: one of the worst bits of advice you can ever give to anyone: to let your guard down with a person you don't know particularly well who makes you nervous.
Maybe nothing happened. But I could very easily see that ending very, very badly.
Oh how stupid of us, we must have forgotten that christians never do anything wrong, mark david chapman. If you believe in jesus you wouldn't hurt a fly, jonestown massacre. I hope she had fun at the prom, crusades.
Oh, great.
So all a rapist has to do to gain trust is hang around in church?
Be sure to write that down, motherfuckers.
"He goes to your church, so its not like he is a rapist or anything!"
Because rapists are so obvious, and don't have religious beliefs, right?
I didn't go to my prom, as I had few friends in school at that time.
If they're so fun, why can't she go on her own, or with friends?
Not feeling comfortable around a person is a warning sign that that person might not be as stable as you wish, or simply doesn't share your interests. Perhaps learn ABOUT him, from others, before talking to him, I'd say.
Sure, no church-goer has ever raped anyone!
Oh, wait... Isn't there a Tony Alamo in jail for life, for numerous child-rapes? According to Wikipedia, he's "a diagnosed clinical psychopath and a child-sex predator".
And he's the leader of a church!
@Swede :
I didn't go to mine due to a combination of having very few friends and the school charging $100 for a ticket. With no forewarning about the price (the price was announced when they went on sale on the Monday of the week of the event). In a dirt poor town where the biggest business was a small grocery store while the gas station fought with the McDonald's (one of two lasting food joints) for second place. I don't get the feeling that the event did very well, though I never went back and never interacted with anyone beyond the school's walls so I never actually found out. That place was one big ongoing scam the entire time, though, so it was hardly a surprising turn of events. Lots of fundraisers with no discernable payoff. Banning from-home lunches and then jacking up the price of school food. Spending state funding on expensive new computers for the computer labs only for them to "mysteriously" disappear and leave us with old, boxy rigs running Windows 98 (in the mid 2000s). Place was a fucking pit. Of the communal outhouse variety.
Apparently I still hate that school near to the point of violence even a decade later. Good to know.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
