<p>It makes people feel less ashamed of themselves. It's a good trick. I might try it.</p>
<p>odysseus - ex or not, she's still a friend right? don't let the history affect the future too much if it won't hurt.</p>
<p>Honestly, I just took the most attractive person I could, I had a girlfriend at the time, but she lived an hour and a half away; I had gone to her prom earlier that year and her parents wouldn't let her come back for mine (something about us getting caught in her bed on prom night [dot dot dot]), so I went with my best looking girl friend because the pictures last forever. Yeah, it's shallow, but we ended up dating for a while after the prom for a few months and those were some of the best times of my life. I ended up going to four proms last year (junior) and the stuff got expensive, but each one was well worth it.</p>
<p>In conclusion, find someone good looking, it doesn't matter how well you know them or if you have a boyfriend/girlfriend. This was my method and it worked perfectly.</p>
<p>really ecliptica...and how would u get this good lookin person to go with you!?</p>
<p>By telling them my secret plan that I only go to prom with good looking people.</p>
<p>In all seriousness, I have no idea, I've just always had a lot of attractive female friends. I guess I'm a good looking guy (and modest) so I assume that helps, but I really don't know how. Just be outgoing, I've found that to work pretty well, and if at all possible, become friends with her friends, that's always an in.</p>
<p>My advice sucks, sorry man.</p>
<p>it's january!! And you are worried about Prom already??? Wow!</p>
<p>haha ghost I am a guy not a girl. I just know what makes women tick. </p>
<p>Hmmm sheets I am thinking a visit to Bed, Bath and Beyond is in the agenda for you ;).</p>
<p>so eliptica, did you bag that? If your girlfriend won't tell her parents to go Fu(K themselves and go with you to your prom, dump her and get with your hot friend. it not like its going to matter after you graduate.</p>
<p>umm ok mahras...how bout this. What if you're a girl who wants to get a guy 1000's of miles away to go to your prom. Just trust me on this one. There is "no one" at my school or around my school. Now you gimme a GOOOOOOD plan. :D Thanks. (And the motivation does not include anything towards the romantic area...just wanna go as cool buddies!)</p>
<p>MTC2003, if you can't get the person of your choice to go with you, then just don't go at all. Prom is overrated, and if one of the people don't want to be there, it just is NO GOOD for the person who does want to be there.</p>
<p>grapeful, until we find out if this person wants to go w/ me or not...how do u suggest i ask! n please dont say just ask.</p>
<p>Recite Dante and give her a black orchid.</p>
