<p>I can't believe prom is this stressful. It seems like everyone at my school has a date EXCEPT ME. Well...sort of. A kid at my school that I really don't like that much asked me. I thought about it for awhile and jumped on it because I thought that would be the only opportunity I would have for a date. Now, I'm really regretting it. The group I would be going with as a result of going with that guy, I really have no friends in, and quite frankly it's the "nerdy" group at my school. The thing is, if I don't go with this guy, then I don't have a group to go with. I'm going to try and see if I can get into a group with a bunch of friends I have who are not going with dates but they may already be full. I HIGHLY doubt that I will be asked by anyone else. I honestly don't know what it is about me. I don't think I'm that ugly... I also try to be as nice as possible to everyone but I've always been really shy around guys.
So here are my options:
1) Go with the guy who asked me and be in the lame-o group. And be embarrassed by my prom pictures forever.</p>
<p>2) Don't go at all.</p>
<p>3) Go alone without a group.</p>
<p>4) Try to get into a group of friends that aren't going with dates. I asked a friend about this and she's going to talk to the person who's planning the group and see if there's room.</p>
<p>what sort of response were you expecting other than harsh condemnations for sounding obnoxious, stuck up, and like a archtypical teenage girl?</p>
<p>dont go at all. prom is a waste.</p>
<p>its marketed as one of those “special” moments in your life that you will “remember forever”. total ********. yet another marketing campaign set up by the big buisnesses to encourage spending (in this case, the dance industry that will be ripping you off in the next 5-10 years when you decide to get married as well). </p>
<p>Be an individual, dont go.</p>
<p>I wouldn’t go if I were you so I could save time and money</p>
<p>You accepted his offer and it’s only (I’m guessing) 1-2 weeks away. Suck it up and go with him.</p>
<p>Prom is so stupid seriously. ^ I agree, you should just suck it up and go with him. That would be awfully mean of you if you stood him up.</p>
<p>The most pressing problem in your life is prom? All you CCers who are stressing about paying for college, your parents losing their jobs, getting rescinded for dropping grades, getting off waitlists need to commiserate about saxophonegirl’s problem. What to do…??
IBfootballer-Thank you for your post.</p>
<p>i, too, am going with a nerdy and embarrassing date </p>

<p>I would say still go to prom. I’m not really sure why so many kids are basically anti-prom here. I understand that you’re not going with someone you like, but when you get there, all your friends will be there there too to have a good time with you. A girl asked me to prom last year so I went as a junior and I had a lot of fun but at the same time I liked her too. I was with my date for a decent amount of time but that’s caused I like her but I know plenty of people who went with a guy or girl and once they arrived, they just went to go be with their friends and almost didn’t see their date for the rest of the night. If it means that much to you not to go with this guy because you will “be embarrassed by my prom pictures forever” then you shouldn’t go but from my personal experience, I would suggest just going and hanging out with your friends once you’re over there. And have something arranged for After-prom too because that is the most fun part about prom. My date (gf) and I are going to her beach house in the Hamptons with like 20 other kids and I know that’s going to be more fun than prom. Just have something fun lined up afterwards with your friends. Good luck with you decision and if you don’t go with the guy, let him know right away so he can figure out what to do with his new situation.</p>
<p>dont go,simple as that</p>
<p>prom is weaksauce… save your money</p>

<li><p>You will be embarrased by your prom picture for the rest of you life no matter who you go with. That’s half the fun of the picture, btw. (I went to prom with my husband, YEARS ago. The picture is hillarious. The hair alone is worth it!)</p></li>
<li><p>Go! The only things we regret in life are the things we DONT do.</p></li>
<li><p>Don’t go alone…</p></li>
<li><p>Honor your date. It takes a lot of guts to ask a girl to prom and unless you think he is actually “creepy” in a dangerous way (!), then you will have fun. Put on your dress, get out your sense of humor and make some new friends. Who knows? Give these kids a chance. You might have more in common with them than you think.</p></li>

<p>“Go with the guy who asked me and be in the lame-o group. And be embarrassed by my prom pictures forever”</p>
<p>coming from the person who couldnt find another date except for the “nerd”.</p>
