I am a high school senior guy who didn’t go to prom last year and I am really debating whether or not I should go to this one.
Here’s my situation:
I already know that none of my closest friends are going. However, there are people who I am decent friends with (not close; I don’t hang at their houses or anything but I talk to them in school often and we get along well) who I know are going. I know at least some of them are going with a date but not sure if all of them are, some may be going alone.
There are a few girls I know who don’t have a date who I thought about asking because I do talk with them sometimes, but when I asked one of them it turns out she and her (other girls) friends are going together as a group, but because I don’t talk with all the girls in that group, I don’t feel right asking to go with them. There really was only one girl I was kinda close with in high school but she left after sophomore year and she has no chance of coming back for this prom.
I’ve been looking for a group of other guys to go with, specifically in my neighborhood, but all of them are either not going at all, or are going with a girl instead.
So essentially, this leaves me with no chance that, if I do go, I’ll be going alone and probably finding a group to be with from there. I could find a group of guys who I am friendly with to talk to, or maybe ask one of the girls I sometimes talk to to dance, but that’s really it.
Also, this is a rather small high school I go to which makes it more difficult to find someone to go with.
With this situation, do you think I should give this prom a try?
