So, Throughout my entire life I have been a pretty quiet boy, sticking to myself and my close friends and that is about it. I enjoy playing video games and sports with a group of close friends, and outside of that my other social expiriences are pretty limited, especially when it pertains to a female. However, at my High School (I'm a junior, 17) there is a Sadie Hawkins dance, ( a sadie hawkins is a less formal dance, where the girl is supposed to ask the guy). Now, if this were like prom, you wouldn't see me near the school and it would not cross my mind once to ask anyone, but since its vice versa now I'm fair game. And what I thought might happeened, a girl asked me. And I can't say no to that, so I said yes. But the problem lies in that I a. have never been to a dance and don't know how to act b. can't dance like at all c. the "group" I'm supposed to go with I know litterally no one. I'm not a social butterfly, and the opportunity to meet new people and go to a dance does not appeal to me in the slightest, in fact I would rather be stuck in a plane to europe with donald and hilary then go to this dance. So the advice I am asking for is what to do, how to get myself ready for this social trek, what to talk about maybe" I am pretty lost on the subject and none of my friends are going bc they didn't get asked. Thank you for any response and fml.

Hi!
The thing about today's society is that it's weird to come up to people and introduce yourself because people automatically assume that you're just some creepy dude. I used to be like you when I was younger, I was shy, alone, didn't have that many friends, and was picked on by other girls my age. As I got older I started to get out of my comfort zone, and became more social, what I learned out of that is you shouldn't be scared to come up to a group of people and introduce yourself to them. It might be weird at first, but later, on you're going to look back at that moment and say to yourself "I'm happy I did that!" Another thing about high school is that it's always about getting to meet new people and making new friends. It's okay to have a close group of friends, but still be able to make new friends. As for the dance, you don't have to know how to dance to go to a dance, just go and have fun! If you're scared of people judging you, then screw them because they're not worth your time. If you never get out of your comfort zone once in a while and take risks, you'll never learn. Anyways I'm not really sure how big of an impact I can make on you, but I do hope you read this and go to that dance :)
Best wishes!
