Okay, so I'm freaking out here about not having a prom date. - January 26th 2009, 08:52 PM

So, I had a prom date, and then he turned out to be a total ass, and now I'm stuck again. Everyone's all "go alone, it'll be fun!" but honestly, who wants to go alone while all their friends have a date? Prom is March 19, and I still haven't even been asked. There's not even anyone at school I'm interested in, and I don't have any guy friends that would go just as friends and not take it as anything more.
;;
I'm in a slight predicament here.
It's my junior prom, so those of you out there who skipped yours, do you think you missed out? I may just not go this year.


Give me something to believe in
a breath from the breathing
so write it down
I don't think that I'll close my eyes
'cause lately I'm not dreaming
so what's the point in sleeping?
it's just that at night
I've got nowhere to hide.

I never went to my junior prom. And I don't think I missed out at all. If you can't find a guy and really want to go, why not go with a female friend? I know lots of girls that have done that!

Well, see, my school does this thing where your name is announced and you get escorted in by your date. Plus, I live in the depths of hell and they only allow boy/girl couples. [[=
I mean, I'm straight, but I still think that's rather ridiculous.

Oh, I was going to say go, until I heard they announced you with your date. That's kinda odd in my opinion. Maybe you could get a group to go together. I did that last year for winter formal and we had tons of fun!


Drop me a PM anytime, about anything!
I would love to talk to you!

They have junior proms now? Sheesh, back in my day, you had a prom before you graduated your senior year, and that was it.

Sigh, I just went and made myself feel old.

Do any of your friends have brothers / male relatives ?
I'm sure someone would be glad to go with you just as a friend.


Life is too short to be anything other than happy all the time ..

Life is great!

It's the junior-senior prom. We don't have JUST a senior prom. My school's weird, anyway.

All of my friends have younger siblings, I'm afraid. =/

If that's the case, just go next year. Prom is too expensive for someone your age to be doing more than once anyway. I remember spending several hundred dollars on my senior prom. When you're 17, that's a lot of money.

I never went to prom. I was never asked. I don't think I missed out on anything. I don't see the point in spending so much money on a dress that you will probably only wear once.

I haven't went to my graduation prom. I was too nervous to ask anyone. But I'm positive I could've had someone..

Instead I went to some party where I was the only 18 year old and everyone else was 25-50. It was a good night, but I wish I had went to my prom.

Junior prom isn't as big of a deal as senior prom, but If you really need a date I suggest meeting new people in places. Such as find some one from your rivalry schools to go with, unless they have prom on the same day you shouldn't be at a fault. You don't need to go with some one close to you either, you can go with some one as friends, one of your siblings friends or something.


So where did everyone go?
And you don't even know
So don't pretend that you do

It's just a set up
For all the failures
Always playing after something cool

Junior prom is a waste of your time if they announce couples. Wow.. that's a good way to make people feel like crap. Just go to senior prom instead. It's a waste of money doing it twice.


I am waylaid by Beauty. Who will walk
Between me and the crying of the frogs?

My siblings are ten, eight, eight, seven, and six, so I don't think that would be appropriate. xD
