So today I got asked to prom. I don't know the guy who asked me that well, but we're kind of in the same friend "circle"
Well anyway, when he asked me it was reallyyyy awkward, and that just got me thinking, how awkward will it be on prom night??
I'm really scared!! I mean I have to dance with him and everything, and I already act dumb enough around guys on a typical day, so I cannot imagine how embarrassing I will act.
So do you guys have any tips? Like how I can calm my nerves, or maybe get to know him better?
ANYTHING is appreciated! Thank you so much! :]

[mind over matter]
and also know that you will be with ALOT of other people.. all of your classmates and friends. you're not going to be alone with him and you wont have to dance with him or be with just him the whole time. most people venture off with their friends for a while and chill with them, just becase you were asked by him does not, by any means, make you obligated to be glued to him the entire night.
with that said, dont think about it so much. youre going to drive yourself insane. i mean, im sure he is just as nervous as you, even though your probably think that hes not. these things can be nerver racking for both people, but you have to just go with the flow. he asked YOU because he wants to go with you and obviously get to know you better. so just chill out for now :]
but you can get to know him better by now until prom. just talk to him alot ! get his number, e-mail, facebook.. anything like that and just talk to him :] find him in school, and walk around together. the longer you talk to him, the more at ease you will be when the time comes. and by the way, when guys ask girls to the prom, it is usually really awkward for both people; he had a lot of guts to ask you so if he could do that, prom will be a piece of cake :]
dont be scared, i promise that everything will be okay. at first it might be a little awkward [as everything usually is] but dont let that get you nervous.. it wont stay that way for long. before you know it, the conversation between the two of you will be flowing.. i mean, something you could do is play 20 questions with him and ask him random stuff about himself. "favorite color, favorite sport, coolest place to go on vacation, what is one thing you want to do before you die,.. ?" just things like that are fun and can really take the awkward out of any situation. you'll be fine, trust me :]
good luck ! have fun [which you will, dont worry] hoep i helped, and if you need anything else, feel free to inbox me, xxo. [ itdependsonyoux3's advice column | Ask itdependsonyoux3 A Question ]

If it helps any, Just think of him in a friend of way. If you don't know what to talk about then still with small talk. This is your prom night, This is his prom night, Just take it easy.
