<p>If you didn't get a date to prom, would you go by yourself or just with a group of friends?
Also, are you a girl or a guy?</p>
<p>Nope. I went to homecoming this year without a date. It blew.
I’m a guy.</p>
<p>I go to a girls school, and I’m pretty sure half of the girls last year went without a date 
but I don’t think this counts haha.</p>
<p>I would, but only in a group of friends. I’m a girl.</p>
<p>I would never go by myself. It would be an insult to my dignity.</p>
<p>I’m a guy. I would try it once (we have 2 :p), and go from there.</p>
<p>I would go by myself, because all of my friends would be there! Prom is just a glorified school dance where people are dressed nicer. I have gone to plenty of school dances with just my friends and I have had an amazing time!</p>
<p>I’m a girl, and I went dateless to prom last year. Actually, I ended up at a table that had about 7-8 girls and 1 boy, so I guess it’s pretty socially acceptable at my school. It didn’t really make that much of a difference to me; I just hung out with my friends, single or attached.</p>
<p>i don’t know. i used to go to an all girls’ school so some girls didn’t actually find dates (went in a group either with a few guys or all girls).</p>
<p>No, I hate school dances so I’d only go if I went with a guy I liked. But I have a boyfriend and we usually skip the dances (except for prom) to go to his house.</p>
<p>Get a date. Unless you are interested in your date as more than friends (you should arrange a smaller group then), coordinate a medium sized group of friends and their dates to come along.</p>
<p>Whatever you do, (this is for the guys) do not ask someone to prom that you are unfamiliar or rarely hang out with. It’s even worse if you go with THEIR group of friends that you also don’t know. Even if you’ve been dreaming of going to prom with this female all your life, the novelty wears off quickly by around dinner. Even worse don’t go to an after party with this group that you don’t know. I speak from experience. </p>
<p>I’m pretty sure occasionally girls will go dateless but with their other dateless friends, which is fine, but typically guys going solo/brolo is viewed as desperate.</p>
<p>Main point: get a date you are good friends with; gather some other good friends and you’ll have a great time.</p>
<p>I’m a guy, and no, I wouldn’t go to prom without a date. Most people leave our prom in the first 30 minutes anyway.</p>
<p>Interestingly, in my school if you go with a date, you would be the odd one out.</p>
<p>My daughter tells me she will be going with or without a date. In fact, she’d rather go without a date (so she tells me). That way she can come and go when she wants and not have to worry about her date throughout the prom. She plans on going with a couple of friends. She tells me it’s done a lot at her school.</p>
<p>Nope, unless I was with a bunch of guy friends (I’m a girl).</p>
<p>I’m a guy and I brought a date to my junior prom. However, a lot of my female friends did not being dates and went as a group. Everyone had a great time though. I don’t think a date is necessary as long as you’ll be able to enjoy the time with friends.</p>
<p>Maybe if my friends didn’t have dates either that way we could all go together as a group.</p>
<p>My school’s version of “Senior Prom” is in two months, and I just got dumped! 
EVERYONE in my year has had their dates organised since August, so instead of being the only one there alone I’ll watch a movie
I would go alone if I had a group of like-minded friends, though.</p>
<p>I’ve never been to homecoming or formal or even a HS football game on account of the fact that I didn’t have a date. It’s embarrassing to show up alone, y’know.</p>
<p>I asked a girl on prom and she denied because the rest of her friends weren’t going to have dates, but at prom everyone danced with everyone and ultimately having a date or not didn’t really matter.</p>
