 Our 9th grade formal is Feb 25.. like all of my friends have dates and i dont.. they want me to go.. but i told them that i wasnt going to go if i didnt have a date, b/c being a wallflower isnt exaclty my definition of a good time. Ive given hints to a few guys that i wanted them to ask me but i gues they either are planning on asking someone else.. or just didnt understand them... Some of my guy friends keep telling me that someone will ask and not to worry about it.. but im a teenage girl.. i worry about these things.. and i really think that there is no hope for anyone asking me! What do i do? |

...ask someone yourself?? i know, not really good advice..but...maybe the person who wants to ask you out is just too shy...and is procrastinating...

well.. we don't have a 9th grade formal... but our 8th grade formal... just go by yourself, Allll of your friends have a date? I mean like, every last one of them? I went to my 8th grade formal myself, and I had the best effin time!
I'm sorry it wasn't the best advice... but that's what I would do. =D |

I feel your pain. I have a formal Feb. 12 and I haven't been asked either. I've been talking to a few guys though, maybe you should try that. And if all else fails, go with a friend. That's what I'm doing if I can't get a date.

i didn't have a date for formal either, people'll just be too absorbed in themselves, they won't care, act carefree, if not, just don't go and throw an excuse

why don't you ask someone yourself? or, just go by yourself. i'm sure there are other people who are going by themselves too.

i think you should just ask someone yourself, maybe that guy is hesitating to ask you b/c hes scared of rejection or something...maybe he's feeling what you're feeling right now. take the chance, hahaha...yeah, i hope it goes well for you!

ask someone. that's the only safe way to get a 100% date.
you can't rely on others to help you achieve a goal. |

Show me a picture of yourself. If you don't like to show it here, just send me a mesage with your picture and I'll help you what you should do to make guys get the hint.
If you want them to get the hint, try more like... "I'm going to the dance, but I wish I go with someone, but couldn't find anyone" And look at that guy for like 2 seconds and look down like your shy and take a deep breath, then look around lol. |

Honestly, if you want a date that badly just go and ask someone. Or go with your best guy friend, that's what I did.

i dont have a picture of me recently or any pic at all...
i promise to get on sometime soon being shy seems like a good idea, but if your too shy and not outgoing, then a guys not going to want to ask you.. plus all of my guy friends kno im NOT shy like i said earlier.. i dont wanna ask someone b/c its my first high school dance EVER and i want a guy to ask me, i dont wanna go alone because then ill just be standing around or sitting at a table in a very uncomfortable dress... my friends have dates some dont but im not gonna go with a group of girls because the night is supposed to be mainly spent with your date... which is SPOSED o be a guy |

Well, like other girls have said you can ask out the person of your choice if you're feeling brave. Or the other option is not to go if you don't have a date or just go with your friends and all hang out together. I'm going through the same issue, I have the Valentines day dance on the 11th at my school, I'm probably just not going to go. You on the other hand still have time, goodluck

Then you go ask them. duh. Don't be scared. Guys are just as scared.
And if you don't get asked, go with your friends.. or you can just not go.. whatever... |

hey, i know how your feeling. We are having a sophmore/freshman banquet next month and i didnt have a date and wasnt planning on going without one (because it truly does suck)..so i just ended up asking someone, thats one think you could do.
but for winterball which was last month..i wasnt planning on attending it because i didnt have a date, and then this guy totally suprised me and asked me to it. so you never know what can happen. |

Just ask someone out, instead. If they're not making their move, you do it first.
 Or; fly solo. Find some other friend who's going alone and hang out with them.

these are my ideas....
A.) ask someone yourself. B.) maybe make your hints a little more obvious? C.) just go by yourself. your bound to have a good time. D.) are you sure that all of your friends have dates? come on now. that can't be. E.) just go with your best guy friend. you have friends that are guys, right? |

yea it sux when there's a big dance coming up and no one has asked u but i went with a big group of my friends and it was the best time ever. its way easier cause then there isnt any tense and there is bound to b a guy there who doesnt have a date and who knows some one u like may ask u out. Have Fun!!!!
