<p>I am an extremely introverted person, largely as a result of being bullied for the majority of my life. I have one "friend" i guess you could say, though he never calls me to do anything. I'm probably going to miss prom next year, I already did this year and convinced my parents that there is no junior prom at my school (lol).</p>
<p>I just hope it's easier for me to open up in college.</p>
<p>Thank god I studied on prom night. I got to set the curve for my exam :D</p>
<p>I agree with beardy because I am a bastard and *** is with this sudden wave of teens who are afraid of other people? Well, I'm off before this becomes "Miss Silvestris hets nerdz omg!"</p>
<p>Is it weird to not go to Prom but to go to a afterparty afterwards? [No Date]</p>
<p>To answer the question above, yes. Its even weirder if you're wearing a large purple fedora. </p>
<p>Seriously though, some of you guys out there need to get some BALLS. How do you ever sexpect to compete with guys who do have balls? And the real world is all about competition whether the last disney movie you watched shows it or not...</p>
<p>TO whomever said they actually prefer insecure/awkward guys: you're lieing to yourself</p>
<p>^^I don't think anybody ever said they prefer awkward/insecure guys. Nerdy guys, on the other hand, are awesome. I know plenty of nerdy guys who are very confident and secure with themselves, which is always attractive in an individual.</p>
<p>@ piccolojunior, I "lol" at people who would miss prom for basketball or whatever else it was you mentioned. There are plenty of basketball games but not too many proms. Clearly somebody had a hard time finding a date....</p>
<p>I simply forgot about the deadline date for the prom tickets and now I can't buy any, so I'm screwed about that. But one of my friends invited me to a party afterwards. I don't think that's weird but I feel it's non-traditional.</p>
<p>@Zamzam (lol nice name): I have lots of fun with friends (ISEF 08 anyone? omni hotel = epic win)...just not at a place where I don't like 99% of the people there.</p>

<p>Clearly somebody is too slow/short/beefy to play ball.....and missing up a chance to ball = always ****ing retarded, no matter what.</p>
<p>I don't think people get this. The logic I'm quoting (as well as responding with) fails because there are people who honestly couldn't care less about those things. Plus, if your school (read: classmates) are relatively worthless, then there's no point in putting yourself in greater contact with them than already necessary.</p>
<p>For the OP, if you're seriously contemplating studying on a friday/saturday night.....ehhh, that's OD.</p>
<p>Well there you go, you reinforce my point. You consider your classmates to be worthless, so you have a hard time finding a date.</p>
<p>Personally, I think the problem doesn't lie in the fact that you don't want to go to prom, but that your pompous and arrogant attitude repels females. And I still think that your name is a reference to a wind instrument, not a Dragon Ball Z character. :P</p>
<p>Prom is not an event that should be missed. I didn't miss any of my dances, and the only one that I did not have fun at out of 6 was my senior homecoming, and that was only because I wasn't supposed to go (was supposed to be at swimming regional finals, but missed the cut) and I was sick that night and the music sucked. </p>
<p>Every other dance was a lot of fun, and not one of them did I drink, nor did any of the people I was with. And I hung out with a pretty popular crowd at most of them, and went to after-parties after a few where there was no alcohol (because drinking wasn't my thing then). </p>
<p>If you don't go to prom or homecoming, at least have some kind of fun night planned with a lot of friends, whether it be a weekend at the beach or some awesome dinner and party after. Please don't study, you have way too many other weekends (and weeknights for that matter) to focus on schoolwork.</p>

<p>It really is, as well as my year when I first started posting on CC. I loved band until this past month, where the dude (teacher) flipped out and demanded I write a 10 page paper for missing the concert due to academic reasons.</p>
<p>I didn't go to my junior or senior year proms and I don't regret it in the least. I went sophomore year, though, and thought it was lame. Also, junior/senior year I hung out with a pretty crazy party crowd, and a non-drinking/drugging event just didn't seem fun back then. I'm more mature now and I can party without drinking/drugging, but back then I couldn't comprehend it. We went into NYC instead and went to clubs.</p>

<p>I didn't go to my junior prom. I didn't go to my senior prom but I went to an after party. I'm going to another school's senior prom and an after party which should be good. Just thought I'd throw that in there.</p>

<p>I don't mean super insecure and awkward. That's just awkward. But I think it's really cute when guys aren't super confident. For instance if a guy were asking me out, I would think it were way cuter if he was all unsure of himself and it came out sounding a lot less cool than it did in his head than if some guy was just like, "hey do you want to go out with me?" (although that would be more expedient, and really fine as long as he wasn't cocky about it). I suppose it would get old if he didn't relax after a while, though.</p>
<p>And yes. Nerds are (almost) alwards adorable.</p>

<p>Oh yeah! Omni rules.</p>
<p>You guys are being too unsympathetic. Honestly just saying "grow some balls" isn't too smart. Do you think that after all these years of being the same way, telling a person to just suddenly become confident is good advice that'll actually work? That's like telling someone who's learning to drive, "dude just press on the gas and go!" Some guys are just socially a little clueless so they need more guidance than simply "grow some balls." If someone's been living their life a certain a way and no one has taught them to do things otherwise, it's hard for them to change just like that. Just giving out vague and blunt advice like, "dude just grow a pair" will only cause these guys to feel even more sensitive to criticism and more unwilling to admit that they're socially retarded.</p>
<p>lol. there was only one guy i wanted to go to prom with (really good friend of mine who doesn't know i like him more than he likes me probably) but he asked his sister's friend sooo i have no serious desire to go anymore. ill probably go to the universal citywalk or something for the night and go to an afterparty at a suite that i was invited to. i didnt think attending the afterparty only was weird...idk..is it? ahha</p>
