You’re dateless. You wear no corsage on prom night. Your prince charming wasn’t waiting at the end of the stairs to see how beautiful you look. You may think your perfect night isn’t so perfect after all, but it’s possible to have your “happily ever after night” without a knight in shining armor.

Going single to prom doesn’t have to be a bad thing. For the last month, fairy tale stories of how guys asked their girls have been floating through the hallways, and couples have been discussing how to coordinate their colors because that is the most important thing. Couples have their memorable night laid out on a silver platter, but even some without a date scramble desperately just so they don’t have to be alone on prom night.
Honestly, going solo to prom can be more fun than most think. Just because you don’t have someone latched to your arm as you walk into the Embassy ballroom does not make you any less of a person or unable to have fun. Have some confidence and stand up for yourself.
I think there are even positives to going single. There is the freedom to dance with whoever you want and sit with whoever you want without having to worry about another person. And, you always have your friends. It’s almost inevitable that you will not be the only one alone in a group, and sometimes it’s more fun just sticking with your friends.
The downfall for girls are that no one buys your ticket or the dinner, but there will be many more dates in the future to wait for.
It can still be a night to remember without a date, so don’t settle for someone you won’t have fun with. Couples, you will look great and have just as much fun.
I’ll be going solo and I have no doubt it will be a perfect night. My prince will come someday.
