<p>pregame on the way to prom, and hope it doesn't kick in until you're inside.</p>
<p>someone last year took 3 shots of everclear walking from their limo to the door. he was just a little messed up</p>
<p>LOL. Pregame? Not exactly my kind of thing. Actually, I'm 99.9% sure I'm not going to prom. Reasons include: cost will be $300+, still no date (surfette, appreciate the thought, but HI to CT and back will cost much more than I'm worth...), no table of friends to sit with, and complete lack of dancing skills (I'd make the creepy stalker look like Danny from Grease)...</p>

<p>cameliasinensis, i meant that in general its one of the best times in a girls life. many high school girls spend many days/weeks planning out their prom, like what they wear, etc, they want it to be perfect. its like THE major event in high school. so it was probably a big let down for a night that is so looked forward to to be so messed up. prom, high school graduation, college graduation, getting engaged, getting married, having your first kid, its kind of on that list of milestones.</p>
<p>personally i don't really care about prom but i can see how it could like devastate someone if they were having high hopes for that night.</p>
<p>d4r7h3v1l, i don't think that your behavior was bad, you just sounded kind of shy, especially if you didn't really know the girl well. but les0s's date sounded very possessive and like sexually...frustrated.</p>
<p>I'm a girl, and I think that's depressing. I'm suddenly very glad that I (a) was raised in a culture where proms and weddings aren't glorified as the high points of a girl's life and (b) attend a school where prom is only slightly more exciting or significant than any other dance. :rolleyes:</p>
<p>Going to prom without a date is fun too. You have the freedom of doing what you want without being obligated to another person. Feel free to dance, dine, and talk to different people all at your own pace. Nobody's following you around the whole night, no awkward silences, etc. You`ll have fun.</p>
<p>hmm... I went to prom stag...I got sick from the food...I sat down in a corner for most of the night with no one to talk to...I had to watch the weird kids in my grade make out with their prom date for most of the time...</p>
<p>bringing a date isn't that bad...</p>
<p>It sucked going to my prom without a date. Everyone danced in groups, but within the groups each person was dancing with their date. Also there were no guys there without a date. There wasn't even a large pool of girls without dates, except for maybe 10 at max. In no way was it not ridiculously fun though.</p>
<p>the prettiest girl in our senior class didn't have a date...no guy could ask her. the previous year she had gone with a senior.</p>
<p>My prom was Friday. I went in a group of ten people, none of whom had dates; most people seemed to have similar arrangements because there really weren't many couples at all. Prom itself wasn't great (I don't really care for dancing, and the music was terrible), but the afterparty was pretty fun. :D</p>
<p>Just save your money and don't go to that pathetic excuse of a booze-fest LOL!</p>
<p>i went with a date to my prom (last month), and he wasn't much of a dancer and I was....so I "forced" him to dance with me.....he pretty much did whatever I wanted all night...</p>
<p>but my friend (in my prom group) went dateless and she said it was reallllllly awkward with the slow songs and she kinda wished she brought a date so that she could to the whole
a)corsage/boutinere
b)pictures with the above with the date
c)slow dance
d)wear his tie at post prom
e)wear his jacket at post prom
f)holding hands
g)intimate moments.....not necessarily kissing, but just hugging on the cruise.</p>
<p>I'm kind of glad my date asked me because he was the sweetest guy but he's way too shy for me to ever consider dating him (he couldn't hold a conversation easily....) but either way, I just think stag will be awkward and you might feel "bad" afterward like my friend did.</p>
<p>I went to prom without a date. Our prom was really fun. I really wasn't interested in any girls that were available, so my friends and I decided to all go in a group. It was a good experience, dancing in a big crowd was fun, but on slow songs, I really couldn't dance without a girl. My friend on the other hand, kept complaining the whole time about not taking a date. But I really enjoyed it. I would say that if a person goes alone, they should at least go with a group of friends. I think whether or not you enjoy the prom depends on what you make of it...</p>
<p>going to prom with a group of friends would be a lot more fun.</p>
