rejection

[justamom]

I am going to say the same thing to you I said to my daughter...

"You can't honestly tell me that on a campus THAT size, there are no eligible, decent guys who would be flattered if you asked them to your formal." At least you TRIED. She hasn't even done THAT!
(she's now considering some people OUTSIDE GREEKDOM! OMG! Is that possible? Would a GDI from the SOUTH exist that wouldn't mind renting a tux?) Sometimes I think the sexes paint themselves into a corner by limiting their thinking. I know the arguments against asking a GDI, but SURELY there are some cuties outside Sorority Row! Unless it's like THIS WEEKEND (in which case you waited too long to ask and most girls would think they were NOT on the A list and of course they would say NO)...
THINK OUTSIDE THE BOX! I would think some if not most girls went to colege with a formal-or access to one- hoping they would have an opportunity to actually USE it.
The Cotillion rule of thumb is ask a girl ONE MONTH before a formal affair. That's the end of my "Mom nag"!

Now, unless you are set on seeing your buddies-work through your friends, take a date and have a blast! The perfect fit could be right around the corner, but you just can't see her because she isn't a part of your regular scenery.
