<p>yes, that IS prom-drama. so, i was supposed to go with one of my guy friends, but then he got a girlfriend, so...i'm sort of out of luck. & i figure my parents/family is expecting me to go to prom, but i can't think of any guys left who might be available to go with. how awkward...for me...a girl. this really would happen to me -_- should i just blow it off & lie to my parents & tell them that my friends & i are planning on skipping it? at this point, i don't even know if i want to go. & i definitely don't want to go alone. any advice? :</p>
<p>Find a new guy friend to ask. If you need to, ask someone from another school.</p>
<p>^^ Lol epic portmonteau… Anywho, girls are able to go with their friends and it’s not too weird. You can of course always go with a “safety guy” but I don’t recommend that once they find it’s a pity date their feelings are badly hurt…</p>
<p>Of course I am for hire and can act to be a British Lord (I’m thinking my fake name should be Lord Edmund Waldegrave III) lol jk jk.</p>
<p>i’m not sure how many safety guys i would be willing to go with, at this point :</p>
<p>& people think this stuff is harder for guys…</p>
<p>“safety guys”… dammmmmmmmmmmmm god forbid you had to ask one of those safety guys- you have time, but if you have that sort of mentality then you’re not going to get a date.</p>
<p>Is it considered odd at your school or girls to go without dates? A lot of girls here just go in groups. I feel like that’s better than a random “plus one.”</p>
<p>I wasn’t really planning on going, but I called my friend to check her MIT status and she’s coming all the way from Michigan for our prom, so it’s now the biggest thing on my calendar.</p>
<p>““safety guys”… dammmmmmmmmmmmm god forbid you had to ask one of those safety guys- you have time, but if you have that sort of mentality then you’re not going to get a date.”</p>
<p>LOL, jesus, i was quoting somebody above^^. & thanks for telling me what kind of <em>mentality</em> i have. not. & if u must know, it’s HARD for me to ask a guy to go to prom…t’s kind of a big deal & i’m shy & a little bit afraid of REJECTION, hokay?! ?! :\ <em>cough</em> anyways…</p>
<p>millancad-probs not too weird, but considering most of my friends are going with dates (ie our guy friends) [to my knowledge], it would be SO awkward for me to just randomly sit at a table…single…</p>
<p>u called your friend at MIT? wait, what?</p>
<p>^Oh yeah. My friend (to clarify, I called her to see if, after being deferred, she had gotten into MIT) is coming all the way here so she can go with her pseudo-bf. But our other friend will be there, and two third-wheels is just perfect. </p>
<p>Maybe check with all your friends and see if there’s maybe a group of 3 or 4 who are dateless? If you can’t find friends, and aren’t really that into the available guys, I’d say don’t go. Prom isn’t that big of a deal honestly.</p>
<p>What are your options?
- Don’t go
- Go alone
- Go in a group
- Get a guy to go with</p>
<ol>
<li>If you don’t go you might regret it for the rest of your life</li>
<li>You may feel awkward doing this</li>
<li>There may not be anyone doing this, may result in 2</li>
<li>All the good guys will be taken by now. You will probably end up going with very geeky/nerdy guy.</li>
</ol>
<p>As a nerd, I would like to help out my fellow nerds by recommending #4.</p>
<p>Edit: I did not see that^^
So you only have a choice of 1 and 4. Same advice. Help out nerds!</p>
<p>oh sorry lol… 100% my bad. I am pretty tired and completely missed that post. I do feel bad about that 
Anyways, do you have any guys who you’re friends with who you’d consider asking? Most guys who don’t have a date would probably be absolutely thrilled if you asked them to prom. If you’re good friends with them, I am pretty sure they’d say yes unless they really like another girl and have their heart set on her. Everyone is afraid of rejection, but if you ask someone who you get along with, the worst case scenario is that you’re right back to where you started. When is your prom?</p>
