(Please read completely for a good answer)
There's a lot of drama between girls at my school to get guy prom dates, and honestly, I admit there aren't many good (single) guys to choose from. I'm not involved in any of the drama, nor do I plan to. (haha mature, right?)
Except today I talked with a friend who fiercely believes that prom will not be fun going single. And that got me to thinking maybe it isn't? Like, what will I do during slow dances if I go single?
[Additional info: The only guy I would ever consider PERSONALLY asking goes to another school nearby. I liked him the day we met, about a year ago. What's bad is the total amount of time we've spent together in our whole lives totals to maybe 8 hours, because we've lost touch... And I really don't have any idea how to get in touch again. I could call him up, but I don't know what to say!]
Help me out! :|

And I forgot to mention that the last time I talked to the guy was pretty much almost a year ago too.

I went stag and was really happy I did so. It takes alot of pressure off when you just go "signle" you can always get a group together and go.
Being datless on prom has these pros:
1. You don't have to search for a date
2. You don't have to coordiate gown, tux, corsage
3. You don't have to worry about being stood up
4. You're parents won't disagree!!
5. No pressure to do it afterwards
6. You can dance with whoever you want and not make your date feel guilty.
the Cons:
1. No one to slow dance with
2. If you want "sex" after prom, its gonna be just a little harder
3. is there anymore?

There is nothing wrong with going alone, unless it bothers you "after" the prom. My sister went with an older cousin she respected, they had a great time with no pressure. It's also not unheard of to have your father as your date, depends on the relationship. An older brother could be the answer....or call the guy you know nothing about... If none of these things are what you would do, I hope it will give you other ideas. Have a great prom!

You could try contacting this one guy, and invite him. And no, there is nothing wrong with going to the prom without a date. In fact, if there is a girl or two that you know, without the game thing going on, that would be willing to go to the prom as a group of singles? I wish you the best. Take care.

I think it's better to goto prom single you can dance with any guy you want and not make any one jealous, and you can move from group to group and not feel like you're being followed by a puppy or needing approval! Go Single and have fun!

Like..duh...NO! The prom is a milestone on they to becoming an adult If you had a b/f and u were not embarrassed to be his girl, HE asks u to go, mostly because he knows you want to go, and he enjoys doing things for you. ,but also its a way for both of u to show off your success at becoming practicing heterosexuals. or, you have played the mating game and won. If no acceptable guy has asked u yet, this is a wake -up call. For some people its easy to find a mate, they know who they're going to the prom with, for you its time to learn how to find a good man and get him. You have already missed out on your prom, u have to change or u may wind up going thru life alone. If u go to the prom alone u might as well wear a T shirt that sez I am a reject!

heck yeah it's ok. but it will feel awkward if you slowdance by yourself, haha.
do you have any other friends who might go stag? get a group of single dates, get a limo and have a blast.
i know when i went to my senior prom in 2003, i asked a friend i had no romantic interest for. we went as friends. it was fun, and i danced with most of my friends the whole night anyways, as did most other people.
just go and have a good time. screw what anyone else thinks.

Go single! Or...go with a group of girls. It will be a blast! Once you walk in there will be guys all over and this just gives you a chance to dance with everyone. Or do your own thing....you don't need a guy! HAVE FUN!!

first observation: not so many details next time. people would be bored reading the details and skip your question to answer the next one.
second thing, its TOTALLY okay to go to the prom by yourself. unless youre one of the many who thinks being single sucks. a lotta boys would ask to dance with you once youre there. just dont act all awkward and stuff.okay?

We had a girl at our school who took her brother, so going alone isn't a big deal. There was a whole backstory, but I won't bore you with that. The point is find someone to go with, go with friends, go by yourself, but have a good time; it'll be a night you'll remember for years to come.
