so my prom is coming up, and i don't have a date. my friend from school told me he would take me, but he's taking someone else. so i was thinking of taking my other friend, whom i really really REALLY like.
the only problem is that he doesn't go to my school, and won't know anybody there. i'd feel weird if i go off to talk to my other friends while he just stands around doing nothing. plus, neither of us dance. so we wouldn't have much to do. anyone have any ideas on what i could do?

It also might help if it was possible you could introduce him to a few friends before hand so it isn't totally left on the side lines.

as for dancing.. its prom. who cares how you dance. just get crazy and have a blast. even if you look like a complete dork. there's a group on facebook called- i dont care how ridiculous i look, i'm having a blast. and i think thats a perfect motto. you're probably never going to see the people at prom ever again, so who cares what they might think. you dont have to dance all the time either. dance for a few songs, then go do something else. go out to dinner or bowling or clubbing or whatever floats your boat. even if its just a movie at someone elses house.. or you could even just ditch the group and you and your date could hang out. maybe do something romantic like watch the stars and moon, or have a late picnic with candlelight, or go swimming at night.
also, i think it should be spontaneous. if you just plan everything out, and say something doesnt go right.. you'll get disappointed that it didnt turn out the way you wanted it to. so dont plan. just go with the flow and have fun. its prom.. make it special and make it worth it.
