Apologizes for replying so late.
Prom?! I totally thought you were in your 20s for some reason. Wow! (Sorry about the no date thing, though
)
I get that a lot on the internet(which is good), but it's the exact opposite in real life.I look a lot younger than I am.
Yeah, THIS! And when the heck
Is prom? It's
The
Beginning of march!
I know it means nothing now because the "right now" is everything but 5 years
From now... Prom will mean very little. 10 years from now
Prom will mean nothing. 15 years from now... Wait... Prom? What is that?
Never had a
Prom, went to
Prom... I don't think we had a prom but not sure. But what happened when
I was in highschool means NOTHING now lol. Right now it means everything to you in the moment. A few years from now if you had a date to
Prom... You probably won't even be friends with him on facebook!
Though,it matters to me now, because I do want to go to prom. But it isn't a burning desire. It probably won't matter later in life, but I got to keep telling myself that.
At my school people already have there dresses, & know who there going with. We already an assembly explaining prom.
I do agree though it's early.
I totally went to prom by myself when I was a senior
I had a blast. We actually went as a group, but I was the only single one.
Me & few friends we're thinking about this, but one of the recently got asked out to prom, & the others aren't sure if there Prom yet. Hopefully, something will pop up.
One of my friends isn't going for sure, so if I don't end up going, we'll probably be doing something together.
I know it sucks. I was in the same boat four years ago - and my school was hardcore about "prom asking." It was a bit of a pride/ego thing for the guys to have the biggest "asking" of sorts...
I vividly remember sitting there, having to smile and laugh and act excited as many of my friends got asked to prom via showy displays of flowers or banners or serenades (yes, it was a weird, quite nerdy school). I didn't end up getting asked to prom. I had a severely limited number of male friends at the time and no boyfriend. At the time it was upsetting and frustrating. What made it even more upsetting and frustrating was having to put on a happy face for my friends. I can totally relate.
But you know what? I went to prom anyway. I found a handful of friends - some of whom had dates, some of whom didn't - and we went out to dinner and attended the dance. I had a great time - honestly, I probably had a better time dancing with my friends than those girls who went with guys that they didn't know too well.
And four years later - having never dated at all in high school - I have a fantastic boyfriend who I wouldn't trade for the world.
Things have a way of working out. I know it sucks now, but if you grin and bear it, you'll get through. And you never know what the next few years will bring
My school is hardcore for asking too. While people already have dates, there's still guys who ask out girls.
I don't even have a guy friend, I talk them here, & there, but I have no guy friend. There is the one guy who always compliments me, & says hi to me. So that the closet to as guy friend I have.The one guy who I know had crush on me, transferred schools.
My senior year, I totally went with a guy whom I didn't even really like just so I could have a date. (Well, I liked him as a friend well enough, but at this point he wanted a relationship and I didn't so everything was just...awkward.) I would have much rather have gone single than with someone who was "meh" on my radar. I ended up hanging out with my friends more so than my date, which was probably really bad of me...
And don't feel like whether you have a date to prom is foreshadowing your future. I was never in a relationship through high school or college (went out on a few dates, but I didn't feel the connection) and then Michael came along. I think my parents about fell over from shock when I brought him home. I asked my mom if she thought I was going to be the first of her kids to get married and she said, "Actually, no. I never thought it would happen." LOL (I honestly didn't either.)
For the majority of guys in my school, I have no desire to go to prom with them There is this one guy who I have major crush on. I'm extremely shy, so even saying "hi" is difficult. lol. I've told a few that I do like him, & they all suggest for me to ask him out. I don't even know him,I've never really talked to him.So, that would just be weird to ask him out without ever talking to him
And yes, I should start telling myself that prom doesn't really foreshadow anything. It can be difficult though. Just got to keep telling myself not dating in HS & not having a date to prom doesn't mean I won't date later in life
Thanks to everyone who replied, made me feel much better. It help me a lot too.
