I'm 42 and I'm all grown up now. As you know, it hasn't been easy. But I think I'm ready to date now. I promise I won't be "easy", and I'll save myself for marriage.

But I need advice. I want to go to a prom tonight. I'm trying to force myself to get out there. You KNOW how shy I am and how I lock myself up in my room all the time. And YOU remember who I brought home for you to meet the LAST time I tried to get out...

So what should I wear to the prom, which one should I crash, what do I talk about, and what do I do with my hands?

Thanks mom and dad... I knew you'd be there for me. You're the best-est's.
