My younger brother just got asked by a girl if he'd like to go to the homecoming dance with her.
So, I get a call from my mother, she's in all happy hysterics, and then she passes the phone to my brother who explains calmly what is going on.
He's faced with two interesting conundrums, both of which I'm sure most of the denizens of this site are familiar.
1) He is, like me, a guy, and therefore has little-to-no awareness of the sincerity level of the girl's request. She's a nice girl, but we don't know if this is a friendly request or a "OMG stay with me for a looong time" sort.
2) He has zero romantic experience, and hadn't even shown any interest in pursuing romance up through now (I was similar, and ran into a similar problem). But this again begs the first question, as to the level of sincerity.
Thoughts?

I'd go to the dance and see what happens, then go from there.
But I don't have a date for this Saturday, I'm juts going with some friends.

Oh dear.
So, personal anecdote to explain my thoughts, because I was on the exact other side of your brother:
I asked a guy to Twirp (like, Sadie-Hawkins) last year. It was supposed to be a one-time thing. He was cool and all, he made a nice date in theory, but I didn't want to date him, I just wanted to go on a date with him.
He didn't get that. When I asked him, I seriously thought he was going to faint, and then he stammered through "I... uh... yeah! Yeah! Yeah, I'd love to go! Sorry I uh... I've never... been on a date with a girl before! I... wow. Uh, yeah!"
Now, this guy is normally relatively social, he knew me, and he's comfortable with me, yet that request turned him into a complete idiot. And also, he was under the impression that this dance made us a couple, which we were not.
tl;dr Tell him to make zero assumptions whatsoever. Assume the girl just wants to go to the dance and nothing else, take cues from her throughout the dance, and watch what she does afterwards and at school the week after.

Everyone else: If it is, don't post anything, mail anything, or say anything to her on MDW.

Helium is an interesting girl. She's a noble sort of element, but she doesn't bond well with others.

Or:
I worry about Uranium from time to time. He's more massive than many of the other elements and seems far less stable. Or, at least this is what I've observed, as it's pretty rare to find him at all. I hear he's in the middle of a Transition, maybe it would help him to come up with a new fission and stop living whatever sad excuse of a half-life has made him this way.

well:
1) Uranium has a high atomic mass.
2) Because it has a high atomic mass, it's unstable.
3) Also because it has a high atomic mass, it is rarer than many other metals.
4) It's an Inner Transition metal.
5) Uranium is used in a-bombs. To explode, it performs fission (as opposed to vision)
6) half life is the length of time before an element undergoes radioactive decay and becomes a few lighter elements.
