Can you all hang out as a group before prom? You can get to know him a bit without it being so awkward. If you like him and like the idea of going to the prom with him, then go for it and have a good time. Asking him about his school, plans for college, and what he likes to do outside of school will probably lead to things you have in common and spark a more natural conversation.
If you get to know him a little better and decide you don’t want to go to the prom with him, that’s absolutely fine. My senior year I went to prom with a guy I wasn’t all that crazy about. It was still fun, but not as fun as my junior year when I went with some of my friends who also didn’t have dates. Prom is supposed to be fun, not stressful. Do it the way you want, no matter what anyone else says.
Thats the longest paragraph in the world, with only one period. now that thats over…......
Never miss your prom night, even if you have to carry a fake mannequin with you as an escort! you have waited 12 years for this night and its time to celebrate. if you are nervous about your escort for the prom, ask about him to his friends. they will tell you the truth. chances are, he is a good person, so now its up to you to prepare yourself. being nervous is normal and i am sure most women go through this. men do. i did. talk to your sister(s). they can better advise you than anyone else, to prepare you for your prom night. it only occurs once in your lifetime, so make it count!
@MissAusten i am planning on going with other people we are suppose to be riding in a lemo but it would still be kind of crazy because they know there dates really well but im gonna meet myn maybe the day before and they even told me that if i dont say anything to him they are. not that i dont mind but they know im relly shy….and nervous….all the time..but i don want it seem like i dont i dont wanna be there. my nerves just take over like asking him to dance and everyting i think is going to be hard for me.
Just go and have fun. Whatever you do, don’t skip out on it. As silly as it is.. the prom is something you’ll remember (good, bad, or indifferent ) for a long time.. possibly the rest of your life.
@john65pennington i dont know any of his friends lol oly his sister and you know you sibling isgonna take up for you ven if you are not that great (not that im saying hes not great) but i dont know anyone who hangs out with him…
just go and try to have a open mind! you may have lots of fun!
@Utta_J Can you all get together a couple of times before the prom?
MissAusten…..........you are building yourself up for a nervous breakdown. my daughter was identically to you. she had a calendar and was actually counting the days and minutes till prom day. this helped us to help her before the big day. each day, her mother would take her out to buy one article for her prom night. it would be a small article and not very expensive. the whole idea was to keep her mind occupied before panic set in. we even sat down together one night and would draw water color paintings of her prom night and what she could expect. this worked. i checked out her date thoroughly and we had a man to man talk the night before the prom. we were on the same page. her prom night went off without a hitch and she had a ball. take many photographs of your prom night and your fellow students that you probably will never see again. its truly an amazing night coming for you.
@MissAusten no becuse he shows up the day before and thats when me and my friends (not together because we dont like the same places) are going to go get manicures, pedicures, and hair done which will probly take all day….
@@Utta_J First, slow down and breathe!,,,,,, That’s better. No need to panic!
Get with some friends and go as a group. It will take a lot of the awkwardness out of dating someone you don’t know very well. Also, you might meet with him casually several times before Prom Night. Maybe ask him to join you and a few friends (boys and girls) for some food, a movie, or some other activity.
Avoid buckets of pig blood at all costs. Look up!
Priorities:
1. you having a fun, memorable night
2. you enjoying your friends
3. looking great
4. dancing
5. this guy you barely know.
The point is: enjoy yourself. If he doesn’t want to spend time with your friends or dance and have fun… don’t spend all night sitting next to him keeping him company. Have fun. Relax. He’ll understand.
