Licensed Clinical PsychologistRemind yourself that confidence comes with success, and success can only come when you take risks. You are taking a risk if you want to go to the dance alone, but it is a risk worth taking. After all, you increase your probability of meeting nice people if you go to prom, even if you're by yourself! -
QuestionWhat do I do if I don't know any boys at all?

QuestionWhat should I do if there is nobody left to ask to prom with me?
Community AnswerGo with friends. You don't have to go to prom with a date. It is just as fun when you go with a group of your friends. If all your friends have dates, then you should ask a family friend to go with you as your date. Don't let the fact that nobody asked you get in the way of having a good time. -

QuestionWhat do I do if I see my crush dancing with another girl?
Community AnswerPeople dance at the prom. It doesn't necessarily mean he likes her. Wait until that song is over, and then ask him to dance with you to the next one. -
QuestionWhat do I do at prom if I don't have a date or any friends accompanying me?
Buggylu25Top AnswererMingle while you're there! Talk to new people or some familiar classmates. Be confident in yourself; you're there to have fun and make memories, so don't let it stop you. -
QuestionCan I ask to dance with someone even if they are there with a date?
Community AnswerYes. A good way to go about this is to approach them when they are with their date and address the date instead of the person you want to dance with: "Would you mind if I asked your date to dance?" If you don't want to do that, you can approach them when they're alone and say, "Would you like to dance with me? Do you think your date would mind?"

QuestionHow can I enjoy myself if I don't have any friends that are going?
Community AnswerTry to talk a friend or two into going. Tell them it's gonna be a lot of fun, and they'll be really glad they have these memories when they're older. If you can't get any friends to go, there will still be plenty of people you know there. Just mingle with acquaintances. Ask some people to dance, even if you don't like them romantically. Maybe you'll make a new friend while you're there!
