<p>So yeah, I didn't ever have a girlfriend in school. I spoke to only a few girls, and now I'm going to the prom, which is next week, alone. </p>
<p>I don't really want a girlfriend as now it is pointless: a few months and we are in different universities. </p>
<p>I am confident of myself (and come out as confident too), and I just can't seem to pinpoint on one thing that disallows me to get a girlfriend. I'm guessing it's the fuss that everyone in my HS likes to make about couples and all. Deep down I am shy of girls but I can hide that shyness and come out as confident on the few occasions I do talk to them. </p>
<p>Regardless of that, are there any of you who didn't have a girlfriend in school but did well in college? </p>
<p>On a side note: Is it cause for me to feel sad (is it a life's regret) if I go to the prom alone?</p>
<p>Hey, maybe this is not your desirable post. I’m a girl, 16 going to 17. I’ve never had a boyfriend either, although I’m quite confident when talking to guys and have several guys chasing (sorry-cannot find a more suitable word ) me. Personally, don’t push too hard and try to get a bf/gf just for the sake of having one.
For the prom, I think the point is to have a good time with friends. Good luck!</p>
<p>talk to more girls…whether in highschool or college, it’s the same people following the same dating rules.
any chances not taken is no different from a rejection take chances.</p>
<p>I’ve never been in that kind of relationship (though I thought I was…sticky situation…long story…) and never went to prom. I feel left out when my friends here tell about their prom stories :p.</p>
<p>My D went to prom with her group of girlfriends…never had a boyfriend as they socialised in a large group of girls and boys…had her first boyfriend soon after arriving in college. My S didn’t go to prom nor did he want to…he had his first girlfriend in soph year…try not to worry about it. The important thing is to keep yourself visible, friendly and available…girls will find you and you will find one you are attracted to but not when you’re actively seeking one.</p>
<p>Yes, it is very likely. College is a whole different ballgame, and a lot of people who are uncomfortable in high school really flourish in college. Furthermore, don’t feel bad about going to the prom alone–couples are often really miserable going to proms together, either because a. they feel trapped and stuck with each other at this point in their lives, or b. they’re sad about the idea of leaving each other to go to college. It can be a very difficult emotional time for a couple. See if you can join forces with some friends and have a good time.</p>
<p>just talk to girls and take them out, i have a few options for prom but will more than likely just go solo(my way of dancing with every girl and taking one back to my hotel room lol )</p>
<p>Hey, so today I was searching the forums with my username, and I found this thread. Thought Ill update you guys =).</p>
<p>So a day before the prom this girl who is pretty asks me out, and we went to the prom together. Had a great time. And shes my girlfriend now. Though we have exams coming up so its kinda hard to get together all the time.</p>
<p>I’m friends with a lot of girls already. I just don’t feel the need to commit to a gf and incur that extra expense*.</p>
<p>*Now when we go out, we go dutch. If I were to commit to a gf, as a guy I’d be expected to do things like pay for the girl and buy lavish gifts. Something I just can’t afford to do.</p>
<p>As for prom, I went to senior prom with a bunch of friends. It was fun. We all carpooled.</p>
) me. Personally, don’t push too hard and try to get a bf/gf just for the sake of having one. 
take chances.</p>
