I didn’t “miss” the prom, I never wanted to go. I didn’t have a boyfriend until I was 22; and we were long distance, so we decided to just get married. Nine months so far and we’re scarily happy.
I suppose some folks say that I’m under-developed socially because I didn’t date a lot of guys but since I had really stringent criteria that only my husband meets, out of all the men I’ve ever met, I didn’t see it that way at all.
You poor, deprived creature.
My daughter hasn’t found a boyfriend yet. She says that’s because she’s looking for a man, and most of the guys she’s met so far don’t qualify. In the meantime, she’s enjoying herself.
My other two see the drama (as they call it) of their friends with their boy/girl friends and just don’t see that it’s worth it.
There’s plenty of time for being tied down once you’re married.
I’m glad things have worked out so well for you.
