I’d like to tell you a sweet story about a clever boy and his search for a prom date. Several weeks before his high school prom, sixteen year old James Dworak posted an ad on Craigslist for a prom date to “sign in, get a photo, do at least one formal dance, then dinner…(Note: I’m not one for kissy kissy stuff).” His goal: to at least say he went to prom.

Now, I know what you’re thinking…here is a smart (he earned mostly As), attractive, and motivated young man. He has a successful lawn care business and enjoys repairing computers in his spare time. Why did he turn to Craigslist to find a date?

We are finding new and creative ways to use technology all the time.  People use Craigslist to sell stuff, post jobs, and now to find a date for prom.  I found this listing today from Wichita.
