Anyway so basically our school ball is early next year and I thought I was set with a partner. This was like a month ago. But today at school she comes and tells me she has a boyfriend and wants to go with him instead. So I asked around a bit at school and everyone I asked was taken :\ So at home on Facebook I asked some girl I knew from a while ago but hadn't seen in a while that doesn't go to my school. She said yes but kinda made out like she didn't want to go. She's really nice so she didn't obviously say she didn't want to come but she said "I don't mind not coming
) She's really good looking and all. But now I feel kinda bad because she doesn't know anyone at my school (well thats not true, she knows one person, my friend) and probably doesn't want to come that much (I wouldn't want to go to a ball only knowing one or two people there either). Problem is almost everyone else has a partner already as did I until today :\I'm feeling pissed off at my former partner and feeling bad aswell
Just a minor problem but I wanted to get it off my chest cause I got to go study for exams. Theres two more days of school before school ends for the year so yeah. Dunno if I should just tell her I already have someone so she doesn't have to come? 
Think I might just find one of the younger girls I know who would want to go and see if they'd mind pretending they're my age. Posted by Lord Bowser at November 6, 2009 - 9:16am | Reply to this
ACTUAAALLY go somewhere that with show you off the best, if the beach isn't the place then try a different scene, and invite a few girls to do a group hangout sesh to get to know them, then once you can talk comfortablely with them, start opening up, bit by bit, don't start off with "these are my hobbies:-" cause that don't work, just talk and be civil, if she thinks your hot, she'll be interested in you and talk to you more than the others. if you go to a movie with a bunch of peep,s don't try talking to people far away, keep the chatter to 2 peeps away, don't remember the phyche reasons but it helps (if not with the chicks, with the rest of the audience
np, glad I could help
Ryne - she already has someone to go to her ball :o

I think once you've answered the question of why you want to go, it will become a lot clearer to you what your next step(s) should be. And don't be afraid to go without a date if necessary, you won't be the only one that does.
I think you may perhaps be a chick.
Anywho, wouldn't advise going without a date, dancing alone to slow songs isn't just stupid looking, it's also a lot less fun. you can go dancing all you want with your friends or whatnot, but there are bound to be slow song songs.
your main problem is that you don't know what to do, go and make her feel awkward or not go and miss this thing. if you do go, apologize prefusely and try to be as cute as can be (if that's your style). If you charm her while she's there, she won't care if your the only person she knows, just gotta be great with women, make her feel special WITHOUT freaking her out. I can go into more details if needed.
as for the other option, if a few of your friends don't have dates either try n just go play games or watch a movie at someone's house. Actually not totally sure what to do in this situation as you seem to really want to go to this thing, so the option of not going doesn't seem to apply.
Good luck to ya Jupz Posted by Cherry64 at November 5, 2009 - 7:27pm | Reply to this
Though between exams and SQUAT I won't have much free time/money, anyone know of good places to meet someone? I can't exactly go to a bar. Rollerdrome has been somewhat successful for me in the past, even though I'm terrible at roller-blading.
Don't know when we get applications for external partners hopefully we can still get them next year. Cause I don't have one yet.
All my school is going to the same afters I think. But if shes not having fun she could just go home after the ball.
Now you've got me worried my school has closed applications for external partners. I haven't heard anything about them but im screwed if that happens.
Trav just see if they can extend the application closing time. Posted by Jupz at November 5, 2009 - 2:51pm | Reply to this
I asked the chick I like ages ago and she said yes. She was friends with another guy who she used to joke on the bus with about going to the ball together and I think he was using her as a backup date anyway he broke up with his GF and told her h was serious abut going to the ball with her so she fel obliged to go with him.
The next girl I asked all was good but we realised we hung out with different groups and would want to go to different, pres/afters so we decided to go with other people.
After that time most people were taken and my options were pretty slim, I had a few girls out of school who would've loved to come with me to the ball but unfortunately they are younger than me (only by a year) and my school doesn't allow anyone you to go with anyone younger.
Now every girl I talk to has got a date and applications for external partners are over so I'm left with the options of going alone or finding someone who I wouldn't necessarily want to go with in other circumstances.
i didnt go to my ball. cbf going. not worth the money Posted by Technodeath at November 5, 2009 - 12:10pm | Reply to this
