Hello all. Generally I do not post in this sections of the boards however I really need some advice from the folks in the dating scene. I don't have the best people skills in the world, however I plan on trying to make them better.
Next year I will be a senior in high school and am thinking about going to my senior prom, however, while I don't have a problem with where it is at, I will need some help on how to act in a large crowd. I have talked to my friend from tech and he said he would try and help me get someone to go with me or be there. I don't mind going by myself however I am unsure how to go about finding people in a big crowd and how I should act. So my big question is, what are some do's and don'ts for a date or even if you are at a prom, any experiences?
I want to thank Juan and Jeffrey for giving some advice, since Jeffrey just went to his junior/senior prom he had a lot of fun thanks for the encouragement!
Keep in mind I do not have a girl friend and that I would be doing this through someone I can trust. I just get the feeling that people are helping me because they have to. I want a date that actually wants to be with me, even if I don't know her or them very well or at all. So any tips or advice here?

Hi Cody
This is a really difficult situation. I didn't struggle with this so much at highschool, as ours was small, so I knew most of the people there, and just floated from one crowd to the next.
If you're not going with a girlfriend, do you have a family friend or a friend of your own around you age You could invite them up from the prom. Even better, go with a boy your own age. That way, you can girl spot together, and turn it into a good laugh. Tirls will be more likely to approach you if you're with a male friend rather than another girl.
Get to know people in the school. Go to a pre-prom party and meet new people that way, if it helps.
I'm sorry I can't be any more specific than this, but I can't think of any other strategies.
I really hope this helps.
