Prom Advice

Hello, I'm having an issue about whether or not I should go through with having a prom date or not. I didn't go to my junior prom, went rowing instead. Now, I'm going to my senior prom with all my classmates who all have dates. I felt pressure from my parents, classmates, and myself to 'be normal' and do something I've never done before. So, I asked a guy, who I have a class with to prom. He initially said that he may be going with a junior but he would let me know. My classmate who overheard told other people and arranged so that I could go with him. Now, that I am, I have to call him and talk about the day. I was actually quite when I found out that he may or may not be going with a junior, now that I know I'm going with him I'm feeling a lot of anxiety. I feel like I gave in to peer pressure and my own pressure. I don't know if I can go through with the ordeal of prom. Am I just feeling normal Aspie anxiety and should just get over it and go through with it. I've found this year that I can do a lot of things I never thought I could, or is there a way to cancel this date and things not be awkward? I've never had to deal with boys beyond school and so I think I may have pushed myself too hard and gave in.

I personally hate large parties and such like that. I say just have a date outside of prom and have fun one on one.

Its up to you i never went to prom. Me and my girlfreind at the time just kinda hung out with a few people. It is normal to get nervus about prom and graduating. I remember when i graduated and it just felt weird after i got the diploma knowing that part of my life is over. Anyway dont lisen to anyone but you in the end. If you wana go then go if you dont wana go for a legit reason then dont go just make sure your fears dont get the best of you.

Don't worry so much about feeling like you have to fit in. It's not like the people going to your prom are exact replicas of each other, who also carry missiles to take out anyone who isn't like them. They're only going because they want to have fun.

Just be happy you have a date and try to enjoy yourself.

Skipped mine.

Everyone got food poisoning. I Kind of feel better that I didn't go.
