I see it in the films all the time. What is it? Why does the dance have a name?
We all know Rakiri would love to chase human men for a date. But I think the question would be more on how this could be televised and streamed? Like the Running of the Bulls? Or like Japanese game shows? The Bachelor with a twist?
I keep thinking to myself, "Okay, dance is coming up. Who am I gonna ask." But then I remember it's a Sadie Hawkins Dance, and, as a guy, I CAN'T ask anyone to go with me. They have to ask me. I do have one girl that I'm very close with that I hope asks me, but I guess I really just have to wait and see if ANYONE asks me and then go from there...
Read it in the late 90s. Had a coming of age vibe to it. The protagonist had an Anne of Green Gables/Gilbert type interaction with her crush. For some reason I keep recalling a situation with hand me down boots/shoes getting soaked through in the winter. Read it around the same time as I was going through a number of Judy Blume books.
Has anyone heard if there’s been a final decision on having the Sadie Hawkins dance? Last year I volunteered to chaperone and I need to know. The school board needs to just make a decision one way or the other.
This is just wishful thinking and totally out of character for Bella, but how funny would it have been if Bella had asked Edward to the dance just to provoke him? Edward would have been completely floored. I think I would have died laughing if SM actually wrote the scene like that.
Me (18M) and my girlfriend (18F) have been together for little over a year. I graduated high school last year, but she is still in high school. This year at her school, they're having a sadie Hawkins dance, a dance where a girl asks a guy out to go to the dance instead of the other way around. Well my girlfriend told me that she was going to ask one of her closest friends, we will call him John. My girlfriend thinks that John is gay, but she has no proof, and hes told her that he likes a girl. My girlfriend and John have gone out to hang out and do homework together several times after school. I was fine with this. Ome time she even went to his house and she claimed they were doing homework, but when she got back home she was still doing her homework. she was at his house for 6+ hours that day.
That's the backstory, now, what got me angry last night.
My girlfriend told that she was going to ask John out to the sadie Hawkins dance, as I'm no longer in high school. I got upset and told her I was uncomfortable with her ASKING him. I told her I would be fine if they went together as friends but the whole "asking" part makes me uncomfortable. she said AND I QUOTE,"I'm sorry you feel uncomfortable, but I'm going to ask him." and that felt like a slap in the face to me. I got very upset, and we got into a big arguement. I want my relationship to work put but today she told me that after last night, she didnt know if she felt the same way. she said she wants to fix it but I dont know how we can. Help me see the light reddit, Am I the asshole here?
And they all came up to me to hug me, or introduce me to their dates, or tell me how much they love or miss my class.
Just this morning I was telling myself how much my students hate my class. I truly needed that.
It's sad how much I like Beaver and Mac in these scenes, knowing what is to come. They are so beautifully adorable and awkward. Just kills me.
Wallace, whom I adore, has a scene at the dance which has always bugged me. He's eyeing Jackie all night while with his date, then ditches her to run after Jackie and kiss her. Jackie (who has become a much more likeable character since the carnival ep), pushes him off of her and calls him on his not-cool behavior. He makes up with Jane, and doesn't specify that he kissed Jackie and that she pushed him off him. So, afterwards, Jackie becomes a pariah at school.
This has ALWAYS bothered me.
But, then there's Logan and Veronica. There's an early scene in which Logan is selling tickets while Gia is blathering on and on, and Logan is...staring in another direction.
Then there's the best-scene-ever, in which Gia asks Logan what he thinks of her, and Veronica is absently walking by, putting money in an envelope, and knowing Logan is about to blow, shuttles him off to dance with her.
They dance, and eventually lock eyes. There's so much unsaid in that moment. It's almost like their first kiss, except that this time, they are absolutely in love with one another and they know it, and can't do anything about it.
Unbelievably well done.
Has teenage love and yearning been done better on any other show? There's Chuck and Blair on Gossip Girl in the early seasons, but I honestly can't think of anything else.
I LOVE this show.
Well, actually... I guess gay people can't go. Sadie Hawkins dances are straight.
So I work as a substitute teacher at a high school. I was talking to some of the students about school dances, and the actual Sadie Hawkins dance came up. They were saying that the dance last year was cancelled because of a lack of interest. So I said that they should've played the Relient K song as a way of advertising it, and then I played a snippet of the song on my phone for them. They were all really into it!
