I've had marriage proposals, invitations to military balls and even a few prom offers from 18-year-old boys.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I'm a teen-age bride.
I did send a girl a plane ticket asking her for a visit, I guess that's quite romantic.
I work with a charity called Donate My Dress. It's got chapters all over the country where you can donate special-occasion dresses. Prom is a big deal when you're 15 years old, and it enables girls who don't have the money to come in and choose something special.
I was meant to date the captain of the football team, I was going to be on a romantic excursion every Saturday night, I was destined to be collecting corsages from every boy in town before prom, accepting such floral offerings like competing sacrifices to a Delphic goddess.
I got a gymnastics scholarship to college, fell in love with my true love of my whole life - who I'm married to now - and he was a virgin too. It was very romantic.
I actually did not have a date to my prom. I ended up taking a friend.
I always had boyfriends, but I never imagined a proposal or a wedding. To me, that was like having a ball and chain round your neck.
I dated dozens of young men, had fun with all, made commitments to none.
At 16, every boyfriend I had I was going to marry.
I'm very traditional, believe it or not. My daughters are not allowed to date until they're at least 16 and I'm going to make it 18 for the next one.
