Teen Needing Support??
Posted: 04-24-07 16:38pm

ill start by saying hello and telling you a little about myself.

i am 18 years old, in good shape and have a good personality(if i know you).

i am extremely self conscious. i hate being this way! i don't consider myself shallow. i would rather have a girl i enjoy being with over a girl i cant stand that is beautifully.

now for the problem. my senior prom! i am pretty sure looks are not my problem, i have had female attention from many girls most to shallow for me to be interested in but they did help boost my confidence a lot.

** i don't know how to get a date, I'm not friendly enough with any girls to ask, all of my friends are guys and any girls i do hang out with i see far to infrequently to build a relationship.

** would it be weird to ask a girl i dont even know to the prom, just a " hi i am so and so, would you like to go the the prom with me", is that even acceptable? would it be weird for her.


another question i have is: girls usually don't ask guys out right? I've had one girlfriend and she asked me out, could my main problem be i don't ask any girls out? basically what i am asking is if i don't ask a girl out what are the chances of me getting a date lol.

thanks for your help.

First of all yea you need to ask girls out to get dates.. And yes girls ask guys out.. I never did in highschool but I am 22 now and asked my boyfriend out on a date and we have been together for three years.

Second it is totally acceptable (in my book) to ask someone you don't know. I would suggest asking around and making sure that they don't have a date already, a crush, boyfriend and so on. In my opinion getting a date in high school is way easier because even if you don't "know them" you can always use a line like, "Aren't you in Mr. Wilson's math class?"

If you don't have someone specific in mind. Try asking your friends or more importantly their girlfriends, if they have them. They will have more insight and may have some great friends to hook you up with.

Also most girls would like to know their date before spending their prom with them. So if you have a girl in mind ask her now. Plus you don't want her to be taken. And see if she wants to go out before hand.

If you are nervous and self consious then try something like coffee or ice cream. Its a less stressful enviornment then a quiet dinner. And you can get more dialoge in. Then move on to dinner.

If you have anymore questions need help.. ect.. you can also pm me.. Good luck and let me know how it goes.
