Missed one:

"No, I am girl who actually took the initiative to ask a guy, but got turned down"

Why should all the women have had to sit around waiting for some dork to ask them? I figured I could ask as well as they could ask me, and I hedged my bets by asking a guy from another school. Just a nice, quiet, kind of guy I knew from church. But, unfortunately, some other girl from yet some other school got to him first.

Unless mountains move, I seriously doubt my son will want to go to his prom in 4 years. Not his thing AT ALL.

But, heck, a lot can change in 4 years.

Basically because I disliked my school I didn't want to participate in any school function like their sports rallies or the Prom.

I just wanted to get passing grades, graduate, and get the hell out of there.

I think I'm going. It's actually not really a prom here (I'm not from the us), it's a party, which is a plus for me coz I'd be to scared to ask a girl, and anyway noone would even want to go out with me coz they don't know me... The main thing I'm afraid of now is dancing... I'm a total idiot when it comes to dancing. I feel like I should coz just standing there drinking a beer is rather lame. I think I'll just stick with basic feet movements xD Luckily a class-mate of mine, who's prolly coming as well can't dance either and he dislikes it as much as I do. Then I maybe won't be the only one watching from the side-line, when I get tired of it after a certain period.

I didn't go to my sophomore hop, junior or senior prom. I had no life as a teenager. I married though at the age of 32.

I was planning on going stag to senior prom like had the other dances I'd been to during high school (it was just to difficult for me to ask anyone out, still is actually), but my mother made me ask out my neighbor from across the street. We went through most of the pre-prom motions (corsage, friends, limo, dinner, etc), but neither of us had a good time at the prom itself. After the limo took us all back to my house, all my friends and their dates took off to do whatever they were doing after prom while I walked my neighbor across the street back to her house, said good night, and went back home to go to bed. That's why, despite having never been on an actual date, I don't count prom since it really wasn't on my terms.

All I can say about prom is "F uck it"

My school did do afterprom which was casino games and you'd redeem your chips for tickets you'd drop in a raffle. I cleaned up in blackjack. Totally worth it, and I'm SO glad I didn't waste any money taking some dumb girl to a dance!

You've no 'yes I'm a girl and I asked a guy' option.

I did that twice. The third time I went with friends. The forth time I was a guest of a (female) friend.

Our school had a lot of proms.

I actually did go to senior prom, but it was the only date I've ever been on.

I really liked the girl, but she wouldn't even talk to me after the prom. I think she just wanted to go and didn't have anyone to go with.

LOL This sounds like me! I HATED my high school. Most of the kids there were stuck up & rude & had been like that from grade school. ANYTHING that was an activity they enjoyed was something that I needed to avoid at all cost. Besides, I was a girl freak & no self-respecting boy in his right mind would dare ask "the freak" to a prom. Too much for him to lose in front of everyone else. So I didn't get asked, & even if I had....I would not have gone. Have never gone to a reunion either, but that's another story. High school stuff can be so over-rated. I don't feel I missed out on anything as I went to Europe between my junior & senior year. Now that was a blast!

My highschool didn't have proms, dances or any sports teams. It was a very strange hippie school which only did counter-culture stuff.

So I didn't go to prom and neither did anybody else in my school. But we did go to political rallies together.

I didn't go, high school was an awkward 4 years for me, a time that I'll gladly forget. I asked a girl to a dance my sophomore year in high school and she said yes. The next day she told me she was going with someone else. Then she called me while I was at dinner with my parents and said she would go with me. Make up your mind! My excuse was I returned the tuxedo. I didnt want to go with someone who felt sorry for me. If I did go I would be the dude sitting at a table alone looking at my watch the entire time.

No.

Having a girl say "yes" was inconceivable at the time.
