I'm a lot more inclined to use the l33t speak for a msn messenger or text messaging, but I use it because it's convenient and I'm over 18. I think the big clue is that he's asking for advice for his prom. This suggests he's what, 16 - 18? Deduction, guys.

Anyway, whatever that's beside the point.
I missed my 'ball', (as we call em over here) for my ex who didn't live in my home city .. So yeah, just enjoy the night man, it might not be perfect, you might not meet "the one" but dressing up is always great fun. Haha, me and my friends dress up out of our own accord nowadays just for kicks, it's always great to put on a nice blazer or tux and feel all blinged out before clubbing.
