I can't find a date for the High School Prom

[ohiofan1]

The Prom is in four weeks, and I haven't got a date. It's my Senior year and I've never been to one before. I don't really chat with many girls so this is hard for me to find a date when I rarely talk to any. In school, I'm a very quiet person.

EDIT: I should have been more specific, I just looking for a friend to go to. Lots of people at my school go with someone even if they're not dating. I just don't want to be alone at the Prom

Find a quiet dateless girl and ask her.

I went stag. I had a lot of fun.

[EoE: Well There's Your Problem]

Go for the nerdy girl. Come prom time, she'll be a dead set babe.

[thegigolo]

I didn't really care about proms or dances, but was lucky enough to be asked to go. I much preferred the parties.

[Monty Dawson]

You have to start opening your mouth. There are plenty of girls who still don't have dates who are more worried about it than you.

And have a blast. I'm honestly jealous

[FUNK_US/BRODUS]

If you dont talk to people, people dont talk to you. You have to suck it up and take some chances. Or just go stag and get drunk beforehand.

Step 1: Log on to Twitter
Step 2: Ask Michelle McCool to go to the prom with you
Step 3: Dodge (taped) fists of fury

either that or find a girl without a date and ask her to go with you, most people just want to go to the prom and have a good time. Or go stag and hang with your friends, you'll probably still get a few dances out of the deal.

Ding ding. I was a quite guy in High School too, and there were girls without dates and I asked one of them.

Had a great time...would have had an even better one if my Aunt didn't need her truck back.

Dude....

I know you're the quiet type. And it goes against your personality to speak up and make moves like that. But, if this is vexing you this much, that you're posting about it on here and it's bumming you out, you have to at least try.

Think confident thoughts. From what I remember of your posts, you seem bright enough. You're going to college soon (If I remember correctly), you've accomplished things. You can do this. There is at least 10 females in your school that you can be compatible enough with for a night to ask out for Prom. All you have to do is ask one, and be a gentleman about the whole thing.

Simple as this: Ask someone straight up and don't give them an easy out by saying something at the end like "but only if you want to" or "it's ok if you don't want to go". Assert yourself a little bit.

And hell, if you don't get a date, it's not the end of the world. I had a date to the one prom I did attend and I spent most of the night dancing with her friends and preventing thirsty dudes from trying to sleep with her that night. (She had a boyfriend in another state, I was her safety date. Long story.) I ended up in more pictures with other people than I did with her, and I haven't seen a prom pic since the night I took them.

The point of that is, you can have tons of fun without a formal "date" for prom. Leave that crap for people who worry too much about social status if necessary.

If you have any female friends who don't have dates, ask them but establish the "friend line". But use this as a last resort, so just try to ask around and see who doesn't have a date. Who knows? The girl who's usually shy with her nose in a book will try her best to look good on prom and maybe you'll have a connection.

And if that's you in your sig, I doubt you'll have TOO much trouble finding a date.

[Young Game]

Me either.
You know what my problem is? I'm 30.

You've got to put yourself out there. Take a chance or two.
At least you can say you tried.

If all else fails, why not ask that loverly lady in your sig?

[HMARK Center]

If you don't have a serious, steady girlfriend it's much more enjoyable to go to prom with a good friend who you can feel comfortable around.

[BigJerichool222]

Don't worry if you can't find one. I didn't try because prom to me was just another dance with an enormous price tag attached to it that I couldn't afford. If I could have afforded it, I would have settled on going alone or with some friends.

[76flyingeagles]

What's the worse that can happen? she says no? you won't find out till you ask and she might be as terrified to ask for a date as you are.

Good luck anyway.

[hulkblood]

yeah if you see a girl you like go for it dude the worst she can say is no and at least you tried.

and if all else fails hire a hooker

2 hookers work better.

[Hit Girl]

If you end up going to the prom alone, hire a limo, and arrive in style.

Preferably while this plays over the speaker system...

Seems like I heard that Kurt Cobain hired a 40-something year old hooker to be his prom date, and made no effort to hide the fact that she was in fact a hooker.

Lower your standards. Ask a friend. Enjoy going alone and dancing with all the beautiful ones.
