Well my Senior prom is coming up soon (may the 17th to be precise) and I've been looking for a date for the past few weeks. I've been rejected by about 4 girls now. To be honest I thought it would crush me. I've never been on a date before and I'm asking someone to go to prom lol. But you know, I felt fine about it. There was a little twinge fear and hurt afterwards but I feel fine. So now I have consigned myself to going with friends. But then I realized that I have no friends. And now I don't know what the fuck to do. Should I try to find a group of people to go with or should I just stay at home. I probably regret not going and at the same time I I don't know if I would be okay enough to go by my self.

You have SA and you asked 4 girls on a date?

I didn't go to mine and I don't regret it. High school is a joke, when you're done that life gets left behind.

Well I asked two in person. I had to get a proxy for the other two. I didn't know if the words would come out right. I know most of the things that happen in High school are just bullshit. But I can't say that I have ever lived my life. I just need some kind of jumping point.

If you're even thinking of going, just go.

I didn't go to prom, and I don't regret it. Trust me: three months after you're out of high school, it's ancient history and doesn't matter one bit.

I didn't go to my prom or my graduation. In some ways I regret both decisions. But then, I knew who I was as a person at that time in my life and the prom was not for someone like me. Neither was a graduation ceremony, quite frankly. Still, I cannot deny feeling like I've missed out on some rather significant, milestone experiences. And that I've stripped my family of the opportunity to watch me go through those experiences, which is perhaps even worse.

But I don't know. I had friends who went to the prom but they didn't seem all that excited about it afterwards. In fact I heard some rather unpleasant stories, which I was glad I wasn't in the midst of. Also, I didn't want to go to the prom stag and that was surely my only option for reasons beyond the average dateless guy. So I think I sat at home watching TV that night and both rejoicing in and dreading the impending end of high school.

20 years from now if I'm still alive for some god-forsaken reason I highly doubt I'll care about whether or not I attended my prom. By that time I'll be far too busy regretting that I've yet to attend my own wedding or the birth of my first child or anything else that we people supposedly look forward to in this life full of milestones.

I think that if it's so important to you that you are getting stressed out about it, then you will probably regret it if don't go. I didn't go to mine, mostly because of my SA, but also because I hate any occasion where you have to get dressed up. Who decided that we should wear the most uncomfortable clothes for the most uncomfortable situations? What is the purpose of a tie? Maybe it had some purpose back when it was invented but now it's just useless. We have to wear a tie 'cause that's tradition. Screw tradition. That's just a bunch of superficial bs. Sorry for the rant. Just my $0.02

Of course no one asked me out to Prom because I'm a loner and nobody knows me. But I still went with my friends (girls) but I couldn't completely loosen up and have fun. I was always worried that someone was watching me so I didn't dance at all. It's torture watching everyone dancing on the dance floor and I wished I could be like them and not care what people thought... Crying or Very sad
