I'm a helpless romantic and I really don't want to go to prom. We have a dinner-dance/prom coming up in June 2012(a little early I know). Everyone is going to bring a date. I don't think anyone will ask me and I won't ask anyone. I don't want to slow-dance with anyone (I don't know how). I'm scared if I do (somehow) that the guy will kiss me (never had first kiss). I don't even want to get a dress, a date, a kiss, or a boyfriend, even though I'm a romantic. is it normal to be scared? Before, my mom wouldn't let me go; now she has decided that she wants me to go. My bff just moved and we decided we would go together. I don't know what's wrong with me. What is wrong with me?

    My last year of high school I didn't want to go to prom either, for almost the exact same reasons as you, but my friends forced me. It wasn't that great, and I think I've made myself forget it, it wasn't terrible or anything, I mean, i won an award, it's just being there without a date (and everything else you mentioned) made me feel self-conscious and kind of depressed. oh well, you get over it!

    Yeah, just go with your friends and have fun. I did go to my prom but being the loser that I am, I went without a date. It turned out much better than I expected.
    Also, watch Carrie as mental preparation before you go. I did and I think that helped too.

    There's nothing wrong with you you're just scared. Go with your best friend and make a night of it, you can have plenty of fun without boys!
