Do you have a girlfriend or know of someone who you'd like to go out with? If so, just ask her when the prom comes around. That's probably the best way to go to the prom. Also, and this is important, do you know how to dance? If you're clumsy at dancing, I'd definitely suggest working on that. But if you've got some moves, you'd probably do okay at a prom.

You are a junior now. You have a year to go until that prom. Relax. Work on your socialization skills. I know it seems difficult, but all you have to do is try to talk to someone, and you have started a conversation. Don't try to force being funny. You have girls in your classes, so class work can be a subject to start the conversation. If you can dance, you must know something about the music that is popular with people your age. That could be another conversation starter. The most important thing is to be yourself. Trust me, most people are nervous and shy when meeting people and talking to people that they haven't really talked to before. If you make a point of talking to one new person a week, you will be amazed at how many people you will feel comfortable with by the time your junior year is over.

Yeah, I know exactly what you mean. Can carry on a conversation but can barely start one. That's me.

Either you have to be brave and just ask it like everyone always suggests in their helpfulness, or get to know a girl, develop a relationship where you're either close enough to start a boyfriend/girlfriend relationship or you're close enough to feel comfortable in asking her to the prom. Easier said than done, no?

If you do the first one, you just have to control your nervousness in talking to new people, stay calm, gradual, and confident, and then ask it. That's easier said than done too, and if you're anything more like me, you'd probably shy away from that. The second one just consists with just getting to know people. Of course, it's not just picking a specific girl and riding that wave to the prom. It's about keeping yourself open and allowing yourself to find someone who you might be able to ask to go to the prom. With that in mind, little opportunities will arise that will help you get to know people. And that's where our strong suit of conversation carrying comes in. After that, you've got the aquaintance connection. It's most helpful for me when I see the person everyday. That way, I just sit next to them and it's like a conversation automatically starts. So when you get to the aquaintances point, you'll be able to keep it going into a friendship because you feel comfortable with them. And then you'll be able to ask them.

So, what do you think of my plan?

You should definitely go to prom, but you shouldn't just wait till prom... go to some school dances this year! Ask a girl to go as a friend and just go and have fun. If you can dance then all you'll need to break the ice with the girls is to show them that you can dance. Girls love guys that dance well.

Take a friend, treat her nicely but make sure it stays a friendly date... you'll get a good report to her girlfriends and you might find that you get asked to the turnabout dance.

I had the most fun at dances when I went with friends... you can relax and enjoy yourself. Good luck! Smile
