Originally posted by Haus I'm in the same boat as you. I'm not really concerned about getting a date, actually two of my close girl friends don't have boyfriends and I'd feel kinda guilty taking one over the other. But I don't even want to go. I hate dances, our DJ always plays lame old music, and our prom is really low budget this year because our class didn't do **** for raising money. I know it's a situation that I wouldn't feel comfortable in so I really want to just not go, and I don't think I'd regret it when I'm older.

my prom was last year, I went because I was curious how it would be, and I kind of regret it now, however it was still cool to experience.

So, I chose to go by myself, I have a lot of female friends so I knew I had someone to dance with, plus extra money I would have to pay for my date? thank you, I'll stand.
It was well organized, everything was top notch, except the music which most of the time were old songs like the ones at the traditional wedding(I don't know if it's only in my country, so it's highly disputable what to call it) sang by an amateurish wedding band. I could go on for ages with the advantages and drawbacks so let me cut it here.

As for a date, if you have someone whose really close to you (like very close, not this girl you talk to twice a month) I highly recommend you to bring her. If you're out of the closet you can bring whomever you want actually, but if you're not, think about it twice if that's the way you want to show who you are

Originally posted by HausOfJustin I'm in kinda an opposite position because my two closest girl friends both have boyfriends (although idk if one will still be around in time for prom ) so I don't think taking them is an option. I don't want to be that guy that doesn't have a "date" so I might just not go either

Originally posted by Caesar This is your first prom? You didn't have one for middle school or elementary school? But anyways, I would go with my girls if I don't have a boyfriend/date to go with.
