<p>Ever since I had a girlfriend I was looking forward to all my senior events such as Homecoming, Prom, Senior Tailgate etc. but ever since she broke up with me (last year), I don't really want to go. The majority, if not all, my friends already have girlfriends and definite dates for prom.
I've been talking to a girl but I feel like it's getting no where.</p>
<p>Who's NOT going to prom? :)</p>
<p>I consider myself one of those forever-alone types, so I’m afraid that I won’t have a prom date when the time comes. However, for Homecoming and such dances at my school, it’s actually better to go without a date (unless you’ve been going out with that person for a really long time), which is what a lot of people do anyways. That way, you can just hang out with friends instead of having to stay with someone you barely know or having your date ditch you for his/her friends or something (this happens to a lot of girls at my school). Anyways, to answer your question, I’m not planning on going to the Homecoming dance this year (although I have to go to the football game, b/c I’m in band), but I definitely am planning on going to prom my junior/senior years.</p>
<h1>foreveraloner right here.</h1>
<p>I’m a junior and this year is going to be my first prom. It’s still far away, but I’m excited</p>
<p>I’ve never gone to any school dances and I’m not going to start now, haha. There’s no way I’d have a date anyway.</p>
<p>Dude, prom’s in like 50 bajillion months. How does everyone have dates and why can’t you find one by March/April?</p>
<p>School banned grinding so the student body is going on a dance strike… Only like 30-40 people are going to HC and prom so I’m not going to worry about it</p>
<p>The proms hosted by my school is not really what I want to go to. I know a couple of others who probably aren’t going, I just don’t want go somewhere where all they do is grind. That’s not very fun.</p>
<p>Forever alone :D</p>
<p>Prom is something I’d rather save money on and not go, but it’s something that like everyone does, and my mom probably wouldn’t let me skip it anyway. I’m skipping the senior trip though.</p>

<p>I beg to differ but everyone has their own opinions</p>
<p>@egelloc80, trust me! My school could host an afterschool special over the dangers of underage drinking, drugs, and teen pregnancy! I don’t mind dancing, dancing is fun. But some random dude behind you isn’t!</p>
<p>Mine too. Almost every if not all high schools could…some are worse than others. But I see your point (but I guess I’m that random dude behind you ;))</p>
<p>Haha, mines worse then. Those schools that are shocked when one girl is pregnant is not here. In fact, that’s a very slow year! Terrible! And that makes sense, you’re a dude. It’s better to dance with friends.</p>
<p>My friends and I have already agreed that unless we all magically get dates, we’re going to Homecoming/Prom with each other. 
Sounds loser-ish to some, but it works for us.</p>
<p>@ShadowMist A group of my friends that graduated last year all did that. They didn’t have a date and all went together. They told me they had a blast because it was about 7 of them so they all say at the same table and behaved like themselves. I wish I would have started school a year earlier. :(</p>
<p>I’m either going dressed as a hp character with friends, or not at all</p>
<p>If I do get a date, I’m seriously going to tell him that instead of going to prom, let’s go to the movies or something. </p>
<p>I can’t stand dances.</p>
<p>@kimmylouoe - Then why get a date? You get a date to go to Prom. If you want to go see a movie, that’s a whole different thing. You don’t ask someone to be your prom date and then say “Let’s go to the movies”. </p>
<p>I’m pretty shocked (well I guess not really) that so many people here view prom as stupid (for lack of a better word) and they aren’t going. I went to Prom last year as a junior and it was a blast. (and even though I go to a super competitive school filled with Asians, nearly every junior and senior attended). </p>
<p>Basically, what I’m trying to say is: go to Prom. Live a little. Have fun. You won’t have the chance to go back and do it again. </p>

<p>I’m not really the dance going type people. At all. I did not go to prom last May (my junior prom) and I’m hesitant to go senior year because it does cost a load of money and I don’t know how much fun I’ll have. I’ll definitely jump on the “No Prom Going” bandwagon though!</p>
<p>Pixels: I meant date as in I have a boyfriend ;p</p>
