Reply to comment by JadeLogan123 in TIFU because I didn't dance with my crush at prom by NewAgeRetroNerd

I’m F23, and I like romantic gestures too. However, I won’t disagree that some gestures can be a bit cheesy. This idea is sweet don’t get me wrong, but it’s a bit corny. Some people really like cheesy though! While I think this could be a good idea if OP’s crush enjoys things like this, I would personally cringe. I think OP should ask their crush to be their date for the next dance and make up for the lack of dancing together there

Not going to lie, I’d probably find it cheesy as well but you never know unless you try. At the very least it may loosen him up and get them both talking. I will always remember this one guy who came chatting me up on 20th birthday (31 next week so a while ago). He came with those really bad cheesy chat up lines (like “if I could change the alphabet I’d put I and U together”). He kept going with as many as he could remember, laughing through them (making me laugh as well), in a charming way that somehow worked. Cheesy as but it got me laughing, got us talking and made him memorable.
