| I went to my prom this year totally by myself. I drove myself to the dinner, I drove myself back to the school, and I went myself to the after-prom party. It was a really fun experience. Some of my friends had dates, but most just went in groups of all guys or all girls, or a mix. I was free to do whatever I wanted, and I didn't have to keep track of anyone or worry about making somebody jealous. I have pictures of me with seven different girls. Do you think that would be possible if I took a date? I don't.
This worked perfectly for me, but a lot of people at my school don't bother hooking up for prom. Your prom might be different. I suppose your own judgment is best here. |
