<p>I know it's october. But I've never had anybody ever ask me to a dance, and I was wondering if there's any hope left for me. How do I attract guys? I just don't understand this stuff. I mean, he can be a friend or whatever. Just how do I get to know someone in time for them to want to ask me to prom?</p>
<p>What happened to that guy that had a crush on you? Work on him. :)</p>
<p>yeah but I don't see him anymore. Though my friend, who's a fellow editor on the newspaper with him, said she thought he wanted to go out with me, I just don't see him anymore! And even if I have a chance with him, I still don't know how to go about it!</p>
<p>Strut your stuff.</p>
<p>I'll go with you! You'll have to pay for the train ticket, though.</p>
<p>I've never been asked to a dance either. The only reason I went to homecoming and prom last year was, well, because I had a boyfriend - but, being a guy, is oblivious (Especially when it was my homecoming). It was "So...my homecoming is in two weeks..." "OK, Cool. We're going, I guess?" "Well, I've never been to a formal and I thought it would be fun." "OK, I guess I'll get a tie to match your dress next weekend." Even when it was his prom, he's like "Alright, so prom is..., so I was thinking we could have dinner at this restaurant I know..." </p>
<p>All I can say is let guys know you are interested in going to dances and stuff. Sometimes if they've never seen you at one, they think you're not willing. Going with a group of friends isn't that bad. It doesn't necessarily have to be a date - you can go with a good guy friend. </p>
<p>What kind of girl are you? Go out of your way and track that guy down! Make up an excuse to get into the newspaper room when he's in there and strike up a conversation or something. Try to get some outside dates with him - even if it's going out for coffee. Then, once it gets closer to prom, edge it in there that you're interested...</p>
<p>I went with one of my best guy friends. It was so awesome! I didn't have to try to act all girl-prom-datey and we just hung out like as we usually do in a party or something.</p>
<p>So I suggest going with one of your friends!!!!
Yeah so if you wana go with one of your guy friends, just be like, "hey who are you going to prom with?" and he'll be like, "dunno.. you?" and you could be like, "dunno" and he'll be like, "you wana go together?" and you could be like, "yup sure."</p>
<p>If you wana go with a guy you have been keeping your eyes on, just act all friendly and nice and giggly and smiley and eye-contacty and he will hopefully see how fun and sexy you are and he'll ask you!</p>
<p>If you don't have a 'special guy', just do the smiley, friendly, giggly, happy thing everywhere and all these guys will come running aftter you!</p>
<p>awww nice...i'd go, if you can sponsor the air ticket :D</p>
<p>Although this is my senior year in HS, all of my friends graduated/went to proms last year, so here's there mistakes:
1.) Never let a teacher "fix you up with someone." One of my friends, whose Indian (lived in India until about age 12), let his teacher fix him up with a girl from the school who was Pakistani. Since my friend is such a nice, tolerant guy, he decided to go with her anyway, but when he got to the prom, she left him to go hang out with some other people, 'cause apparantly, she only went with him so that she could get into the prom, since she was a junior and my school only has a senior prom. That ended up ruining the night for most of my friends, since my Indian friend ended up hanging out with another guy I'm friends with, which left his date, with whom I am also friends friends, alone.
2.) Although I was definitely not friends with this person, I did have a first period class with him, so I heard him telling his few friends his story: Apparantly this guy, whom nobody likes, had hired a hooker to go to the prom with him, and after the prom he'd tried to get her to sleep with him, and she said that there was no amount of money in the world that would get her to do that. He deserved it though, the guy was a potheaded jerk.</p>
<p>Scenario 2 sounds soooooo celebrian. </p>
<p>Depends on the teacher - our one English teacher hooked two people up for prom and they had a blast together. I love him (he's lit journal advisor, but I've done creative writing/research paper with him as the teacher), he listens to anything and everything, and will try to hook you up for dances. hahaha, he's wonderful.</p>
<p>I don't have any guy friends though- that's the problem. I want a fast friendship even if it means in a way i'm using him just for a prom date. Yes, I'm evil :p</p>
<p>Go for it.</p>
<p>I'm the same way celebrian. For some reason I have a tough time talking to guys that I think cute, so I end up making friends (not very close friends) with a bunch of totally unattractive guys that I would never want to date. BUT this year, I am determined to snag this hottie no matter what. It is my goal to be friends with him by the end of first quarter, and have him as my date by the end of the semester. But I am still really nervous about it!</p>
<p>well you see the problem is... you guys are putting way too much thought into this. It's always really obvious when girls are trying to mooch their way in with guys. It's always been a huge turnoff when girls act really unnatural around me, although it's really funny (but in an embarrassing-for-her sort of way). Don't you think it'll sounds creepy that you've been hunting this guy for like 7 months. Weird. So just be yourself (a somewhat flirty version, just not abnormally leachy), and if no guy wants to go, you're seriously better off without them. Guys in high school are really dumb... I would know, I'm one of them.</p>
