Prom is approaching way too quickly. What's a shy guy like me with a huge crush to do?

Post anything that you want - a story, a secret, a confession, a fear, a love - anything. Post twice if you'd like. And then share the site with your friends.

Ask. It's going to suck if you don't and you find out that they're going with someone else.
(I would never take my own advice, but as I'm female, it's a little less socially awkward. Eh.) :)
If you're a junior or senior without a date, consider asking a sophomore or freshman friend to go with you. It doesn't have to be a romantic date, you could just go as friends-- and your underclassman date would probably be very happy to be invited to prom.
Then again, you can muster up the courage to ask your date. :) That's always a plan.
My dilema is much worse than shyness. No matter what choice I make of who to ask I'll be pissing off someone else majorly, and if I don't ask one of them soon I'm not going to get to go at all. Prom should guilt free and yet...
Just do it, at least in the end you'll be saying, "I tried" rather than "What if"
When exactly is prom?
My advice is ask her without making a big deal out of it but at the same time don't ask too nonchalantly.
Great advice I know, right?
Prom is so awesome because it's just one of the most cliche highschool things to do. Add that to the fact that you get to pretend like you're rich for a night by just throwing in ridiculous amounts of money for the outfit, the dinner, the tickets ($50 aren't they? jeez), and I dunno for some reason I find that aesthetically pleasing.
The story about my friend who pees out of his belly button trying to explain why he pees out of his belly button to the bridesmaids, and them making him show them is kind of funny.
I actually agree with PChis for once, God forbid.
Prom is beautiful because it's a meaningless waste of money and a shameless pretension at "high society"
I think Prom's gonna suck because the whole time I'm there, I'll wish my "date" was someone I actually wanted to date.
To Mervtheperv:
What? Did I miss something and that was actually relevant?
Everyone else:
I wish that I wanted to go to prom. Everyone says that I should go but lord knows girls don't want to go with me. I think I'm going to follow anonymous2's advice, though. Good idea, that.
Is it my fault I'm intimidated by girls my own age?
Prom is on April 8th, tickets go on sale February 14th. (ironic, no?)
they cost $30 each. pretty steep.
i actually didn't have that much fun at prom last year... i feel bad, getting dressed up was pretty fun, and afterwards was great, but the dance was just plain awekward
how do you dance in a dress that goes to the floor anyway?!?
but duh, everyone should just go for the sake of going. because it's prom.
and ask the girl but always make it seem like you're going as friends... if you both want to be going as more than friends then you'll come to that conclusion as the night goes on i think...
"how do you dance in a dress that goes to the floor anyway?!?"
It's quite humorous that we try to keep modern dancing with some far before modern attire.
DO IT! ask!
at least you're not a girl asking a guy... ughh.. definitely awkward
Haha. I always knew Cotillion might come in handy...
Funny, because I've forgotten everything I ever learned in le junior cotillions.

Don't give up sir!
I find it funny you're intimidated, as you could probably grow up to be a bouncer if you set your mind to it. I know it's a different kind of intimidation, but it's still kind of humorous.
DoctorAnonymous:
I used to be you. I was fortunate to meet a smart girl who taught me how to talk with a girl. I don't know where I'd be without her.
To: everyone, the most recent anonymous especially.
"I used to be you. I was fortunate to meet a smart girl who taught me how to talk with a girl."
Oh see I was kind of joking about the whole intimidation thing. It's just that I have no interest in several girls my own age, while I am interested in several seniors, sophomores, and freshmen.
And the problem isn't necessarily getting them to talk to me, the problem is getting them to go to prom with me. I know how to flirt and talk and all that... I just don't know how to convince someone to commit very well.
