Have you explained to your friend that you just want companionship from this 'date'? That you don't want to 'go out' or whatever, you just want someone to go to the dance with? If you explain that to him, he'll probably understand. Explain to him that you are too shy to ask another boy, and you just want it to be a fun night. He'll probably be more specific if you tell him that you aren't 'into him' you just want to hang out.
Maybe he likes you? Sometimes when a guy likes a girl, he is more hesitant to do things with her - such as go to a dance - because she might see that he likes her. (did that make any sense?) Maybe I'm wrong, but sometimes... sometimes it is that way.
Tell him that you're probably not going to go if you don't have someone to go with, and you are too shy to ask anyone else. He'll probably see that you want to go with him - but only as friends. Sometimes guys will think that it means something to go to a dance together as friends. (girls to it too - not just guys) Be very specific when saying that you don't want to go out with him, but just to think of it as a huge night of hanging out in nice clothes.
