Prom

[California Dreamin']

Hi Everyone,
I have been seeing a lot of guys posting with their girl issues, well here is my guy problem.
Prom is June 21 and none of my guy friends who want to go with me can't go because of things like work.. (they are older guys)
So, all of those guys are out of the question. The rest of the guys I know won't go because 1) they feel too old 2) they won't know anyone and here is the big one... 3) they don't like to 'dress up' or dance.

I'm on the prom committee. I have put work into the prom already. My dress is being sewn for me right now as we speak. I basically have to go..

Now I want to go with a guy if that wasn't clear earlier. None of my girl friends will be going, and I am not sure I want to hang out alone. I used to go to dances a lot but then whenever I asked a guy to dance with me he would say NO or ignore me. I am really uncomfortable going to a dance by myself, it was bad enough going to them with my friends.

I asked my friend who is in grade 10 if he would go but he is already going with someone else. He said that my date can go with his date and him. I am not sure who his date is but he hangs out with the 'wrong crowd'.

Ahhhhhh!

This might sound like a weird idea, but do you have a guy cousin or brother that would go with you? One of my friend's in highschool brought her guy cousin (who is the same age as us) with her to prom. We all had a lot of fun, and obviously there were no romantic expectations. Is there anyone else on the prom committee that doesn't have a date?

Nope.. and my stepbrother is 37.
There's no guys on the committee who are single.

june 21est eh? well i may have to hope aboat and fly to good ol canadia and break down with some dancing and good ol lookin sharpness


no really any guy that refuses to go is just dumb prom is alot of fun. maybe ask some guys at youth group. or guy friends that you may know, even if they have a GF maybe for some reason she is not going. you always can go as friends nothing more. or go stag and pick up the hottest guy who is just standing around looking dumb

My prom was a month ago I went by myself and no one asked me to dance but there were a 100 girls and 33 guys so.....

I went to my prom with just a few of my friends who didn't have dates, some of them were not really that good of friends but I just wanted a group to go with. Could you go with a group of people you know but maybe not really well so that you could steal the dates of the girls in the group for a couple dances? That might be an option, although you may not feel comfortable with that.

Otherwise, go by yourself and just have fun. Go around to the tables and find out how everyone is doing. Introduce yourself to people you don't know. Sip some punch and snack on some chocolate covered strawberries, then round up a group of people and go see a movie or something and ditch prom early. No one stays the whole time, even those who plan it.

Do any of your close friends have brothers who would be available to go with you? Do your parents have friends with sons who would go with you?

I didn't have a "date" to my prom either. I went with a group of my friends. Some of them had dates, some didn't. It probably would have been more fun if we had all had dates, but I'm sure there was a reason we didn't.

That is tough though, that your friends aren't going. Takes lots of guts to go to something like that by yourself, but you sound pretty gutsy.

Same as Living4HimO3, I just went with a group of friends. Actually it was kind of funny because most of my girl friends had dates but one didnt. And we also had a guy friend who didnt have a date either, so instead of asking one of us, all three of us just ended up going together, and it turned out to be a lot of fun, and we ended up staying at prom the whole time. If you can't convince a group of your friends to go with you try seeing if you can join another group, that way you could get tight with other people than you might not, see if that couple you were going with knows anyone who you could have a group date with. If that doesn't work it sounds like your guy friends could be convinced into going....if you are desperate enough to tell them all the the reasons why they might have fun all dressed up or whatever. Either way, just try to have fun...that's what prom is about....dont stress about all the details!

my friends won't go... i've asked everyone i know, i even did icq search for new guys in my area that i didn't know.
i don't know ANYONE who will go with me.

 

[jeffs_girl_2004]

I asked a guy from church to go with me and he was older and had been out of school for a while and he did not think he would have a good time and he did. We went together and had a blast but it is still just as fun by yourself.

 

[Periann]

Well, then I would just go by myself. Does it have to be a guy? What about a group of gal pals or something like that? If it really meant that much to me I would just swallow my pride and flat out beg a good guy friend to go. Give him little gifts or whatever, trust me, if you ask like that (and if you're sure he won't take it as a signal for something else) then he will say yes. Don't give up! And I repeat...don't stress yourself out! The last thing you want is on prom day to have a bunch of zits

 

[Raanan]

You know, you don't have to do anything you don't want to do. So ask yourself, do you really want to go to prom or do you just want to go because that's what you're supposed to do?

If you really want to go, then go. It doesn't matter if you have anybody to go with or not. The world won't end you know In fact, good things may happen if you don't go with anyone. That's the excitement of life, not knowing what will happen. Just follow your heart and don't worry about it.

 

[Machachachi]

Yeahhhhhhhh. What he said


Raanan hit it right on the head... God is in this situation and He has something for you no matter what you choose to do, so just do what YOU WANT..... And let the rest take care of itself....
