I find it interesting that you criticize me for making an assumption of the intention of the tweet and of the promposal and you do the same thing - just in the opposite direction. If what he did simply made her happy - wouldn't she have said so? Why did it have to be "But did your prom date run 5.5 miles to ask you" MAKES it a competition as if someone who doesn't make such a gesture is inferior. "Yes, your boyfriend may have spelled out "prom" on a pizza, but did he care enough? are you special enough? are you desirable enough? to warrant running over FIVE MILES???"
I think a response like that is more about the personality of the poster though. I knew plenty of girls like that, who grew up to be moms like that, long before the internet came along.
I think no matter what someone does (promposals, regular proposals, birthday gifts, anniversary, vacations) there will always be people who will be making it a competition. There will be teens who outgrow that kind of stuff, but there will be those who will go their rest of their lives competing.
