<p>So prom is this saturday and I wasn't really planning on going but now I am really debating going or not. Tomorrow is like the last day to make a final descision and turn in the check and stuff so I am stressed out. So anyway, over the past few weeks different groups of friends have been trying to set mw up with a couple different girls, but I was just like "Thats alright, I'm gonna go alone, if I even go." So anyway not going has pretty much been the plan. Btw I hate dancing, and I am a very introverted person. Big fancy social things are not for me. But I will go to a couple parties afterwards probably. But all my friends are going to the dance, and I kind of feel pressured to go. So I have been trying to find a couple people who I heard were going alone, so maybe I could join their wolfpack. But I am not extremely good friends with any of these guys, and I have been really stressing out trying to message them on facebook and stuff, but... ugh I don't know this is stressful.... Is it even worth it? The 70 or 80 bucks for a ticket? Or are the afterparties where the fun happens? I wasreally planning on not going but I feel like I some people would give me a huge guilt trip... ahhhh please help</p>
<p>If YOU don’t wanna go, just don’t go.
It’s YOUR choice. If YOU are not going to feel comfortable, then don’t go. It matters how YOU gonna feel, if YOU gonna enjoy it, etc etc etc.</p>
<p>Precisely, don’t let people pressure you into going if you don’t want to</p>
<p>Just go to the afterparties. They’re better than prom anyway.</p>
<p>If you’re not going to feel comfortable going… then go. Life is about getting out of your comfort zone.</p>
<p>On the other hand, if tickets are too pricey, then I can understand you not going. But if cost isn’t an issue, then go for it.</p>
<p>Go and do something different, it won’t kill you</p>
<p>However as already posted if costs are an issue then don’t sell you’re soul for tickets</p>

<p>@gettininthatfosho: I cannot tell if you’re male or female which I think it can make a difference in my advice to you. I think you should go… just the fact that you’re questioning it says you should give it a try esp if you’re a senior. Also, going stag can be a good thing if it’s not really all that paired off. Some kids may want to mix and mingle.</p>
<p>think I am going to go with a couple of my buddies. The wolfpack, haha. Thank goodness the lady is letting me pay tomorrow (80 bucks cash, yikes). Not totally committed yet, so I am still on the edge, but my friends were very welcoming and encouarging. But I can get a tux and shoe rentals no problem, for less than 100 bucks. I probably won’t dance too much, I hate dancing, will that be a problem? I’m more than happy to socialize, and crack jokes with people, but will there always be people to talk with? I might dance a little, but I am really shy. Oh well, It’s only a couple hours anyway.</p>
<p>I am pretty sure I am going to go. Do I want to go? Not really. It’s going to be a pain in the @$$ getting ready in stuff in time. But there is a little voice in the back of my head saying “you’ll be sorry.” I feel like it will come back to haunt me. That subtle regret. And my friends have been like “you’re not going?? seriously?”</p>
<p>Oh well. it will be good time (fingers crossed). Any tips for someone who isn’t really a prom-person?</p>
<p>If you have that voice that says “you’ll be sorry”, you need to go.
You won’t be sorry for the memories even if it’s not the time of your life. You’ll remember your friends, the moment, the music forever. Good or bad it’ll be worth it.</p>
<p>Does anyone think there will be a constant cycle of people just chilling, to talk with and stuff? I am terrified of dancing. Especially in front of people I know. And grinding is pretty awkward. I just want to chill, maybe have a couple diet cokes. </p>
<p>I know I sound like I’m going to have a stroke but I am just shy, pweease help Thanks</p>
<p>Glad to hear you’re going. It’s not easy for the girls to dance either. I have 2 daughters and they actually say that alot of their friends like the shyer guys. It’s not their style to hang out or be around really loud over confident guys. There will be girls who don’t like to dance either. Just try to mingle. At our hs prom there was so much to do in addition to the dancing. In fact, my d said it would have been better not to have a date. Hope it’s fun for you.</p>
