Prom Problems

Alright, it's about a week to prom and I have no date... I'm supposed to have a girl... NO a couple of girls. WHY ME?! Here's what happened:

<ranting>

About a month ago I asked this girl named Racheal. During the previous semester she was in my Media Productions 2 class. Most of the time all we did during class was talk and hangout in our teacher's office (I was supposed to work on some graphics stuff for our school news show, but I never much of anything...). Anyway, she was cool, I liked her and maybe she liked me... who knows. When I was talking to her about prom, she said that she didn't have a date and that she probably wouldn't go. I asked her to go with me, and she said that she would... if she went. She also said that she'd probably go since her sister was also going. I'm feeling pretty good about myself until a week later when I talk to her about it, she has second thoughts about going. She says something to the effect of "I don't know if I'll have fun even if I'm with you". She went on to explain that she really didn't like our school and she preferred her old school... blah blah blah. So at this time I'm thinking that it's alright and I kindof knew that she wouldn't be one to go to proms and the like...

Alright, a couple of weeks go by, I go to Peru for Spring Break, and next thing you know I'm back at school and there's about a week to prom. I'm try to figure out who to ask next and how (*shrug* I like to plan stuff out). Today I asked another girl, someone that I know I can be with and have fun, between 1st and 2nd period (I felt a little rushed). She said yes, of course, and that we'd talk about it later... So, late period of the day comes, I'm feeling kindof good and she comes up to me and says that she need to talk to me about prom... She goes on to say that she made a promise with a friend (also a girl...) that since they didn't have dates, that they'd go together. She went on to say that when she told the friend that she was going with me the friend got angry because she was breaking the promise. Meanwhile, I'm keeping a pretty cool, collected look (I don't always like/want to show my emotions) and I'm not in the least bit surprise, because I figured that this close to prom there would be some kindof problem. Anyway, she said that it wasn't me and that she was really sorry, blah blah blah, and asked if I was mad/angry/fustrated...

Well I really wanted to go with one of them... but there's another girl, a sophmore, who's been asking me all these questions about prom (who I would take, etc), and she's hinted that she wants me to ask her. She's alright, not all cool as the other two, and she's alright to be around (she complains a little too much sometimes)... but I just don't know.

Having a date for the prom is not as big of a deal as people initially think. Lots of people go to the prom dateless and in groups, or spend most of the prom hanging out with various people more than their own dates.

If you *really* want a date, then I guess you could settle for the girl that you don't seem to really want to go with... OR you could go by yourself, hang out with friends, dance with as many different girls as you can (without having a date to get mad at you), and just have fun.

So you know for sure these 2 first girls aren't going to the prom with you, right?

Well, if you really want to go with someone, why not go with the younger girl? She sounds nice, and you say she's fine to be around. And she seems to like you, so this would be great for her. But if you don't think you're going to have a good time, forget about it. There's no sense ruining this night for 2 people.

Either take the younger one or do the "Vodka and Masturbation on prom night" routine...

Routine? Let's call it absolute last resort, ok? lol

Heh, that's almost the exact situation I'm in. I figure we both hate the school and aren't too fond of the music we know they'll play... so we'll probably just go do something else instead.

Either that... or go to ACEN for a day. Damn, why is prom on the only day I can make it to ACEN? And she doesn't really want to go to ACEN.

My suggestion, go to prom for a few minutes and talk to a few people. And then go off and do something else.

Then you can say you went to prom, at least. And you still have fun, just doing something else.

i know how you feel man, almost the exact same thing happened to me. My case had a weird twist to the end that was only given by extreme fortune and luck. yeah, i know most people think that going to prom dateles isnt a big thing, but i bleieve that when your a guy, and all your friends have dates....it does. I hate going to any dance stag because i ahve the worst time. I end up dancing with all the girls i dont want to and i spend most of time jsut wandring aimlessly. My advice would be to take the sophemore. Its good because since you guys arent commited to each other, your still able to go and dance with wohever else as well, along with have a good time. Just watch out she isnt trying to get you to ask her jsut so she can go period.
