I went junior and senior year....just take a girl you're freinds with if you don't have a gf, or just go stag, or with friends. it's FUN. Especially if you don't take it too seriously,and the memories last forever. I had a great time at both of mine.

don't try to talk me in now, it's already too late.

EDIT: interesting that the poll is pretty even. could you geeks not get a date or something?


I read that as you can't get a date. Sucks to be you.. I had a blast @ my prom

I went... It was okay, but both of us could have found something better to do that evening.

The only fun part was the party afterwords, and it didn't cost us any money as the prom did...

Meh.

not yet...I'm probably not though...I don't like parties that much...we had an 8th grade 'final' dance and I went for the hell of it....it really sucked...boring...but free

I'm debating whether or not, most likely not though....it's pretty late

I didn't go to prom... I was too shy and therefore couldn't find myself a date...and the few guy friends I had either had girlfriends or already found dates.

So...yea. I regret not going to this day..but I guess I can find solace in the fact that i didn't have to spend money on a dress and hair and makeup..and I still got to leave school early anyway with the rest of the "prom crowd". What I really hated though was that my parents were too strict (still are) to let me go to the after-prom party down the shore. BLAH.

Exciting. I had a similar experience when I rode a public bus once.

This not only means he can't get a date, it means he's not a clubber. He doesn't dance, he doesn't party, he doesn't know what to do at social gatherings...

There are other types of social gatherings outside of clubs and griding on some random ho's ass.

I'm not a clubber, and I don't dance (well, I'll slow dance with my wife) but I can handle myself just fine in social situations.

yah prom is pretty gay, all the money and bs i am going and stuff but its all about what you do after
But prom prob wouldnt be all that lame without paying 100 for tux
That friggen pointless limo 60 bucks
Then the 120 bucks for prom
Also dinner and flowers and all that other lame crap another 100 bucks
being broke for college priceless

geez i should have just bought a new computer
and whatever you do after prom including sex is not worth 380 bucks

Conformists = losers... especially when it comes to a school dance... give me a break! If you need a school dance to have a sexual encounter, you need a life. And if you like to spend 100s of dollars to go to a school dance just to dance, you also need a life!

Didn't go cause I hated my high school...it was full of morons and dumb people make me physically ill.
Didn't go to graduation either and I was 3rd in my class, I probably would've been 1st if I didn't get a D in gym.

And no i'm not some hideous, antisocial nerd (and don't ask for pics)


edit:
Been about three years since and don't regret it yet, don't see myself regretting it anytime soon

No, I didn't. Both my girlfriend and I couldn't afford it and neither of us had much desire to go. We went out on our own date that day and night. We had a great time and I've got some good memories. I don't regret missing prom.

I went to my boyfriends senior prom, but the next yr we didn't go to mine. IMO, it was overrated. I spent a great deal of money between dress/hair/limo, and just for my school - everything was so strict. You maybe had 20 minutes of actual dance time then EVERYTHING else was you had to sit and listen to speeches/awards being presented blah blah blah..

..save the money from skipping prom and go have a fun after party where you can be yourself and more comfortable in your clothes.

Went to three of them.

I'm not a party person. But all three were lots of fun. An experience I definitely wouldn't give up.

What else are you going to do? Go home and play video games? It's a once in a lifetime thing, don't miss out on the memories.
