Ok so I'm graduating this year. My best friends and I are a group of 6. 3 guys (J,A, and S) and 3 girls (D and R) and including me. A and R are going out. I liek this guy (X) and I really want to go to Grad with him but I think he might have a date already. So we have a huge circle of friends but us 6 are the main ones and everyone else is organized into limos and tables anyway (ten in each and that is perfect because that means every one of us can get a date because A and R are going together).
Now, J and S both have dates. D doesn't have a date but she's desperate and she has a backup anyway. Any friends I know that aren't in my grade and are free (meaning they don't have a date/table/limo) are my muslim friends and they are really "proper". They wouldn't want me swearing or having a good time. They'd want me to not dance, sit all night and be a lady.
So since I can't go with X, and I can't go with any of my other guy friends, do you think it's too weird if all my friends have dates and I don't? Please don't give me any, "you should do what you wants", I just want to know if it'll look strange especially when I look back on grad, I don't want to look like a nerd.
I rate 5's.

Patricia answered Saturday January 28 2006, 9:52 am: Trust me, you will be extremely bored and probably feel like an outcast if you sit there with those girls. The problem here is, most people go to prom with dates, so if you decide to go by yourself, you might not have anyone to dance with anyway. Do you know anyone else outside of school or outside of your group you can ask? Maybe a family friend or someone you know you'd have a great time with and feel comfortable with regardless? You really do seem like a great girl by the way you're talking about your friends, I'm sure you have other potential dates beyond your tight-knit group. GOOD LUCK CHICA!

But none the less, I do think it would be awkward for you to be the only one without a date.
Find someone you're interested in and ask them if they're going. DO IT! :) [ Krupple's advice column | Ask Krupple A Question ]
