Should I go to Prom Alone?

I'm and HS senior (obviously), and Prom is about 1.5 weeks away. Almost all of the girls I would ask either don't know me well or have already been taken. Now for the reason why I don't have a date:

For the 1st 3 years of HS I was emo without the emo. I didn't wear black/slice wrists but I had the mentality. Then at the beginning of Senior year I realized what a fvckin 'tard I was being (my social life was gone, my grades were mediocre, it sucked). So I decided to become a little less nerdy and a little more normal. Unfortunately I burned a lot of social bridges those 3 years, and it took me a while to rebuild some of them. I now have a decent amount of good aquaintances, with a few close friends. However, my friends are going with dates, and a trio looks, IMO, almost as bad as going alone for the person who doesn't have a date. My current social rep is that of a smart/friendly/nice/overall good guy.

So thats my story. Granted, I'm going to the University of Delaware next year (almost no one I know is going) so I'm probably never going to see these people again.

So which would look better:
a) Going to prom alone
b) Asking some girl I hardly know to go
c) Kissing ass and getting into a group
d) Going with a friend as a trio
e) Not going to Prom

Note that no arrangements on my part have been made yet.

yeah basically, just ask some girl.

and just because you have no life* DainBramaged, that doesn't mean you can go pissing off about prom in every thread.

Just go with some friends. That's what I did. It was no big deal. There were girls there who did the same thing so it all worked out. Just find one with no date and ask them to dance.

Problem is, most of my close friends are uber-nerds, and only a few are going to prom. I could get in with a few, but it would most likely be 3 people (including me). IMO doesn't look so good?
 
Its far less nerdy/loserish/pathetic to stay home playing WoW than to go to prom without a date.

That said, prom is expensive, so consider how much fun you'd have with a girl you don't know very well.

And going with a friend as a trio means you = "third wheel". That's as bad as going alone.
 
Ask a girl you barely know, but is a mutual friend of some other people that you Do know fairly well.


If that falls through, don't go. If I remember correctly, the kids that went to our prom alone didn't have a good time.


Do, however, go to the after party (not a school sanctioned one, the one After that one).

Haha, classic. Now to remember where that originated...

I'd say go alone, then hook up with all the hot chicks there.

Prom is just an excuse for pimple-farmers to claim that they got laid. Never had a need for it.
 
Meh I can speak of this from experience. I was chosen as homecoming royalty at my school at the begining of this year, and I wasn't planning on going. I really didn't want to go to be honest, but didn't want to be a sour ass and bail out. I tagged along with a bunch of my friends and it was fine. If you can't just chill with your own friends casually, then perhaps they aren't really your friends. Whatever you do DON'T just ask some random chick and DON'T bail out on prom. Even though formal dances are kinda annoying and pointless, it's good to go anyways. Prom is one of those high school experiences you just need to be at. Stag ain't that bad either. Friends don't leave friends around. Good luck with everything either way.
