there is this eight grade dance in a month. and it seems like all of a sudden guys are asking girls to go. no one as asked me yet and like i don't care if i don't go with a guy but maybe i would like to... i don't want to ask the guy i want to go with and i don't hink he would ask me cause he's shy about those things. how could i get him to ask me? is it fun to just go with your girl friends? do people who bring dates usually hang with them the whole time?
SqueakieSquid2323 answered Thursday May 4 2006, 5:43 pm: Well not many people brought dates to my 8th grade dance. The dance is a farewell, a time to spend with your friends. Don't worry about not having a date... you wouldn't want to be stuck dancing with the same person all the time.. right? And its going to be an amazing night for you.. I promise even if you don't have a date. I wouldn't worry too much about it. And if you really want to go with that kid, start talking to him and let him know your interested. He may feel the same way but be too shy to tell you. Good luck and have fun! [ SqueakieSquid2323's advice column | Ask SqueakieSquid2323 A Question ]

Guys this age are very shy...and even if you did get asked then it's unlikely that it will be the night of you dreams or anything. It's perfectly ok to ask a guy yourself, but a lot of guys are shy and don't want anyone to know that they like a girl even if they really do. If I were you I would just go with my girlfriends and hang out with everyone. [ Tulipg17's advice column | Ask Tulipg17 A Question ]

Guys are really shy sometimes, so even if he doesn't ask you to the dance, and you go with freinds e might ask you to dance when your there. going with your freinds is an awsome fallback, if he ends up not asking you to dance show him how much fun you can have without him. playing hard to get works really well to. I hope everting works out and remember always smile :)

not_your_star34 answered Wednesday May 3 2006, 8:14 pm: What the last person said isn't totally true. I know a LOT of guys, and they're shy, too. Just because a guy doesn't ask you doesn't mean he doesn't like you.
Anyway, you can flirt with him to give him the hint. You can also say something like, "Are you going to the dance?" or, "Do you have a date to the dance?" in a casual conversation.
Or, you could be bold and ask him yourself.
Some couples hang out with each other all night, but I bet that most of them will want to hang out with friends as well as their date.
Yes, it is fun to just go with your girl friends. You can goof off and have fun without having a date to worry about. Plus, you can dance with any guy you want!
chelskyx answered Wednesday May 3 2006, 7:57 pm: If this guy really wanted to go with you, he would ask you. But don't let that get you down because going to dances with just friends is so much fun. Also, you're a lot more comfertable to be yourself and dance crazy that way. Boys will come and go but friends are fun! :] [ chelskyx's advice column | Ask chelskyx A Question ]
alliesadvice answered Wednesday May 3 2006, 7:42 pm: I've been to some dances and really, it is kind of better to not go with a date because if you go with your friends, you can dance with more than one guy.. and if you go with the guy you like and it turns out you dont like him like you thought then you dont have to worry about it :) so dont worry about your crush not asking you and try to have a fun time with your friends!
iSLAND_iNTHE_SUNx0 answered Wednesday May 3 2006, 6:39 pm: I've only been to one dance my whole life, and I'm a senior. Crazy, I know. And it was because I had to go. It was in the eighth grade on & it was on a really big yacht or "moonlit cruise" they called it. It was quite fun actually. But enough about me! From experience, going with just a group of friends is quite fun actually. I have nothing to compare it to, but it wasn't bad at all. It could actually be more fun to go solo/with friends because then you have the freedom to talk to whoever, dance with whoever and do whatever. You should just give it a shot. You might like it :) Either way, you'll have fun I'm sure.
