Are you as stoked as I am about this year's Prom? Being the social butterfly that I am, I simply wouldn't think of missing this fabulous soiree. My lack of attendance would be as frightening as your best friend showing up in a dress without matching accessories! (For shame!) Point is, an event like this requires careful planning especially in the date department. And who better to dictate the dos and don'ts of prom night dating than moi?

So without further adieu, I bring you some pearls of wisdom that are sure to make your prom night unforgettable:

DO plan early. Don't think your dream prom date is going to wait around while you figure out exactly how to ask the big question. If you want something, it's up to you to go out and get it! (Especially if "it" is a fine-looking Zwinkster who knows how to rev your engine!) Waste too much time, and you could find your crush getting down at Zwink with someone else.

DO consider your proposal. The way a guy asks me out always plays into whether or not I accept his invitation. If I hear something like, "Oh Miss Thang, I would be honored to have you accompany me to the prom," I would be much more inclined to say yes than if I hear something like, "Yo, you are HOT, Thang! Can I borrow your phone number 'cause I lost mine?" The key is subtle romance. It goes a long way.

DO have confidence in yourself and ask that elusive crush of yours to be your escort! He or she would be lucky to have you as a date. And frankly, if you don't have faith in yourself, why should your dream date? Seriously, what do you have to lose? If the answer is no, then obviously it's their loss! But be forewarned. Don't mistake confidence for cockiness. One works and the other is a BIG turnoff.

And now for the Don'ts:

DON'T wear just anything. You'll need to dress for the occasion. Sometimes it's fun to even coordinate outfits. Maybe plan a shopping trip together to Z Avenue to determine which duds suit you both best.

DON'T forget who your date is while you are partying at the prom. I know this may sound silly, but remember, if you asked someone to the prom or accepted an offer, be respectful and don't ditch your honey, even if that gorgeous Hottie in the corner is giving you "the eyes".

DON'T be lame. What do I mean? Don't go and then refuse to dance, mingle or have fun. Enjoy yourself!

Now with all that said, it's time for me to continue my search for the perfect outfit. What do you think of the one I'm wearing here? I can't decide! I definitely don't want to clash with my atmosphere!

And for all of you wondering, you just may catch my boyfriend (yep, we're still together) and I on the dance floor with our magnificent moves. He asked, I said yes, and the rest of history! Can't wait to see you all there!
