Senior Prom - Should I go?

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?

Do you like the activities of prom and feel that you would miss something if you did not go, then attend. If you don’t regret not going last year and don’t have a compelling reason to attend, then do something else.

Consider asking one of those girls if she thinks it would be okay if you joined the group.
She can say yes or no.
or ask your “decent” friends if the are doing anything…like signing up to eat at a certain table or getting together for pictures.

Do you know anyone in other grades? They may want to be your date if only because it is senior prom

Go my mans.
