<p>How many of you are planning on going to prom? My biggest fear is not getting asked, and I'm pretty sure I won't be since I don't talk to many guys.. So guys, if you want to ask a girl DO IT! For homecoming this year, I didn't go because I didn't have a date, then after my friend told me that a guy in one of our classes was going to ask me but was too scared and thought I already had a date. So guys, just ask her! So many people think prom is overrated, but I reallllly want to go! Going without a date is unheard of at my school though:( Anyone else in the same boat?</p>
<p>Nope, I don’t want to waste 500 bucks lol.</p>
<p>Haha I go to an all-girl’s private school which usually invites people from our brother school but I don’t know most of them so I have to resort to asking my guy friends from my local public school.</p>
<p>YES! I’m a senior–this is my last chance! I went last year with a date, but it wasn’t at my school so I felt super awkward being surrounded by people I didn’t know. :</p>
<p>The date thing terrifies me. The worst part is weaseling around the dreaded, “So are you going to prom?” by all your friends…</p>
<p>No I’m not going its too much money and stressful</p>
<p>Right?! It’s so much money too… And to top it off now I’m being pressured by friends to find dates for two separate proms! One of my friends honestly expects me to just show up at her school’s (technically she doesn’t even take classes there anymore!) prom and insists it won’t be weird because everyone just goes to have fun (its a pre-engineering high school so most people there aren’t the most popular people ever haha) but I’m like um no I still am not going without being asked…</p>
<p>@TheGreatCatsbyx: You don’t happen to go to The Winsor School, do you?</p>
<p>Is it just me, or are there about 55 thousand more couples in school since the start of the new year!!! We’ve been back about a week and people are pairing off…I guess I should start working on getting a date before they all get girlfriends…oyy the pressure</p>
<p>My prom is in April and I don’t talk to any guys so I basically have no chance of getting a date</p>
<p>Funny, my school prevent Prom if you have book fees still needed to be paid. Since I’m not wasting money taking a random girl to prom, I’ll just go and enjoy whatever is left of my senior year.</p>
<p>I’m not looking for a date. I didn’t have one last year, even though all my friends did. It really wasn’t awkward, and actually, this year they’ve all said they don’t want dates themselves.</p>
<p>Hell no. The first and last time anyone expressed any romantic interest in me was fifth grade. One time a guy sat a few seats away from me at lunch. Someone asked if we were dating and his reaction was about the same as what you would expect if you put a bunch of leeches on him while he was sleeping and then woke him up.</p>
<p>closer and closer? It’s more than four months away.</p>
<p>I’m a class board member so (assuming I’m reelected or elected to another office- next years elections are right before prom.) I’m one of four sophomores that get to go to prom free. I won’t bring a date though (since aside from us the only way for other sophomores to come is to have an upper classman.) I might not bring a date to prom as a junior either. I’m a complete man (word that rhymes with door) at dances.</p>
<p>My school requires us to have SO MUCH done before we can buy a ticket for prom.</p>
<p>We have to have a post-high school plan approved by our college and career readiness center.
We have to pass our senior project.
We have to attend a seminar on prom etiquette.
We have to have our dresses approved by the coordinator.
And to bring a date from another school they have to be under a certain age and have papers signed by their counselor, then they have to be approved by the prom committee (which I am a part of this year) and the coordinator.</p>
<p>But thankfully, I have completed what I need to do to go, I just have to get the tickets now. I have a date… and it wasn’t so much as we asked each other but it was implied because he’s my boyfriend. I wished he would have asked me though even if it is my prom and not his (he’s in college.)</p>
<p>If it has to happen, then YOU ask out someone. Guys don’t like having all the pressure of having to ask the girl out then go on with the rest of the things they have to do. Take some of the pressure off of them.</p>
<p>And hey, who said it’s mandatory to have a date. I’m sure there are some people who would love to go but they aren’t because they don’t have a date. Go as a group.</p>
<p>Yep, but ours isn’t until the end of June because we have exams all the way through May and June. And I have no intention of going with a boy, I’m at a girls’ school so most people will just be going with friends.</p>
<p>Ours is at the end of march :0</p>
<p>We have something similar at the end of our last year, but I’m currently planning on just sitting at home and laughing at all the hungover/just ridiculously tired people in school the next day. I’ll probably go to other leaver’s events, but I’m not a fan of parties.</p>
<p>I’m doing a swimming race in the Thames river the morning after my prom. The race starts at 4.30am. I think that will be a sleepless night.</p>
<p>I feel like I’m at the point where I’m about to ask someone myself. I haven’t been asked yet, but I definitely want to go. Try asking a guy friend.</p>
