homecoming blues

[quietstranger16]

well, its homecoming season yet again. time for homecoming dances/carnivals/parades. i'm especially frustrated this year. I'm a junior, and i feel i need to go to the dance. all my friends have dates or people they want to ask, and i haven't even thought it about it till now. the dance is in two weeks, and i think i know a person(or two) i could ask, but i dont know if she'll say "yes, i actually was hoping you'd ask" or "no, get away from me you sick freak!" anybody else feeling the blues?

[wrist cutter]

I am feeling positively indifferent towards homecoming week.

[scrmngfangrl]

my parents doen't want me even near a guy till im sixteen, and they never play good music, so i really don't care. ill throw a party in my head^^

[stardust]

I'm feeling it.

What sucks is,I was very excited about it.I got a dress and made plans to get my hair done and all that fun stuff,because I had a date...but...we broke up so now I'm just going with a group of friends,they don;t have dates either.

There's a guy I wnat to ask, I've been trying to get closer to him and get to be friends so maybe he'll like me.It's goin alright, but I'm afraid to ask.My friends have offered to ask him for me, but still...err...stupid fear of rejection....jsdsdasklasdioejiekjn

So I guess I'll just go with my friends and look real pretty and get dressed up and it will be nice. Yea,don't feel bad tho,you're not alone,tho it seems so.

I don't know about your high schools, but here it was basically where you just piled your money up and lit it on fire. For those that aren't too sharp, I'm saying it was a waste of money.

i think its really stupid, but i also don't even want to do anything this year though. Plus each class has to come up with a skit or something like that and then we have to make fools of our selves and thats just dumb.

Then we do this thing where we decorate the halls which is pretty cool and then at night we have a bomb fire and stuff like that. so then again it isn't that bad, but it takes up our study hall so then we have to take our homework home and then i have volleyball practice for 2 hours like practically every day after school unless i there is a game then we don't. there's more, but that basically sums it all up.

I used to have a girlfriend, but she was on a constant sugar high. I'm not exactly sure how we broke up, I think I was the first to think about and then she said I was a "wannabe dead person" please don't ask me what that means. So, since we weren't together for any dances, I will and have not gone to a dance for as long as I will/have remember...

PS before you think I'm a lonely sap, I dislike dances anyway, so I probably wouldn't have gone even with her.

Oh OK. I was about to lay the pity on thick until I read that.

[color=666666][size=1][i]I was feeling it but that was when I had planned on asking someoone. But now im not going to. So it doesnt really matter to me anymore.[/color][/size][/i]

[craig8429]

I'm to lazy to bother with the whole week. Not really anything I enjoy doing I guess.....

[Doukeshi]

Well, I'm British but when I was in the U.S on an exchange trip I found the homecoming dance the most boring thing on the planet. I was thinking, I got all dressed up for this?!

[Angelus_Necare]

I went to the homecomming dance, got sick, "supposedly" ruined someone's night and gotten into a big screaming match with one of my best guy friends.

My advice? don't go it's not worth it.

So is poor post quality.

Can you people please give evidence to support your claims? Honestly, we are so centered on our own lives.. we might as well live it up. My advice? Just ask her, go out on a limb and ask the person you want to go with. Chances are they'll say no.. don't expect a dramatic "yes of course!". Who cares?

In the end, you just regret what you [B]didn't[/B] do...

So true drix.

Last year I whent STAG, because my date dumped me the week of, so i said "screw you guys" and whent alone. I ended up stealing dates from 2 different people, and having the time of my life.

This year, even though were broken up, Kelsey and I(ex g/f) are going together. Which will make for a fun expierence, cause the girl defintely knows how to dance. Whats not fun, is walking around, freshly broken hearted, watching all the new Homecomming couples form, and be all mushy........::plots destruction of school::

[COLOR=GREEN] Ya, I had to go through all that homecoming stuff last week. For some odd reason, I always seem to get brain washed by all the school spirit. As a result, I went to the dance dateless and am now $30 poorer. But anyways, I had a semidecent time at the dance and I even convinced some of my guy friends to stand in a picture with me. So even if you don't have a date to homecoming, you should go anyway. You never know what might happen.[/COLOR]

[Ares]

Yes, I am, somewhat. I want to ask a Chinese girl who is gorgeous to the dance, but I don't know what she'll say. I might as well give it a shot. But she broke her arm, would I look stupid asking a girl with a broken arm to a dance? I don't know...

[quietstranger16]

no, that doesn't sound that stupid. we should both take drix's advice and just go for it. i might end up burning some of my savings, but in the long run i'd be better off at least trying to get a date, instead of just acting like a wuss and not going.

thanks for all the replies

[color=crimson][size=1] I'm a freshman, and I'm feeling a bit nervous because it's my first ultra formal dance. I don't have a date, but I'm going with my group of friends. We all agreed that weren't going to do the date thing because all of the other freshman are getting into petty fights of whether so-and-so is going with Maddie or Hayley, yadadada and we didn't want the drama.

I'm so excited for the kick-off event for Homecoming Week, which is Battle of the Bands. My best friend is playing in it with her band! (She's in the only chic-band in the whole competition! So go her!

The arrangement works out for me because we're going to a pizza place to eat before the dance, and if I get pizza stains on my dress, at least four of my guy-friends would dance with me. ^_~[/color][/size]

I was dreading my homecoming this year, but it was my senior year and I figured I should go. So I got the dress and the nail appointments and the rhinestone jewelry and such and so on. I was planning to go alone, or with a group of friends, but my friend, Jon, set me up with one of his friends. I ended up having a really good time.
I have always hated dances: the self-conscientiousness and all around awkwardness, but I just didn't worry about it this year, and I actually didn't feel like crying when I got home!

True. But, really I could care less about homecoming. I'm in
high school, and I've never had a g/f. So I've stopped worrying about school dances and simply accepted the fact that I'm a loser and crazy.

[Evil Pancakes]

I'm going to homecoming, I have a date, and I could never be more miserable.
The guy that asked me has a huge crush on me, and he's the most genuinly nice person you'll ever meet in your life... Or he just really likes me, cos I'm a freshman and we didn't go to the same school, and everyone says he's never been this nice. However... I only like him as a brother, and I think that HE thinks we're going as a couple, but I want to go just as friends... I was too nice to turn him down, though I didn't want to go to homecoming at all in the first place. I want to go to my friend's anti-homecoming party where we wear fake tiaras, eat fondue and watch cheap anime. I would MUCH rather go to that. Isn't that tragic?
I knew it was coming because there has never been less mixed-signals... so on monday I was going to try to find one of my out-of-school friends to come with me as my excuse in case he asks me, but I was too late and he asked me mondya morning... And suddenly the entire school knew! Or at least every freshman, which sucked because apparently a few other people I would rather go with were going to ask me... and a friend of mine who's a junior asked me, but of course I said no...
That's my sad homecoming story... I think I'll find the scariest outfit possible and creep out everyone at the dance just for bollocks and giggles.

Well, I know exactly how you feel.

I was the quiet stranger all of highschool.

Girls didn't like me till out I was out of highschool. (although they may like you now and you just might not have the confidence to see it)

However, know that your not alone.

I was in your boat all the time and the only times I got to go to dances like homecoming was when a girl who was a friend went with me, or when that girl would find me a date.

Don't be down on yourself and know this...

You are better off asking this girl to the dance.

I know how hard it is, I really do, but the possible negative results are far outwieghed by the possible positive results.

Its like a lottery with acceptable odds.

1 dollar for a life time of free money.

1 question for a weekend of happiness.

Good luck my friend and know that if you manage to put it all on the line and ask this girl, you will have millions of men like me (in spirit) backing you and donating confidence to no end.

Do it, thats all I can say.

However, should you end up not asking anyone... dont be hard on yourself, the rest of us can tell you it leads to nowhere and nothing good. ( and when I say "us" Im talking about the guys backing you, not just the random otaku board member.)

Good luck and god be with you.

YOU CAN DO IT! ;)

[QueenBee]

Aww quietstranger16 I would go with you. where do you live lol no j/k I won't stalk you but sometimes it is so fun to not have a date because you can go and have a good time with everyone elses date lol have a good time.

[Vash's girl]

We don't have a football team at my school so we do basketball homecoming. We don't have it till January. I went last year with a group of girls and our dates. I had a blast. We went to Burger King for our romantic dinner because the catering sucked. I had the prettiest dress... I'm so worried about getting a date this year. I have a cruch on this totally hot guy. I was so excited when I got to sit behind him in Geometry. I talked to him a whole lot (He's very outgoing). I tried to flirt with him as much as I could but it ends up he's a total dork. He's so lame, I was in shock. He has a fine car and nice looks but I still want to go to H.C. with him (mainly for the picture). Is that shallow? Oh well. I just wanted to know, guys. Is it cool for a girl to ask a guy? I didn't want to seem like I'm desperate cause I'm not. I'm not bad looking and I got other guys, just not as cute... But I really want to go with him, but everyone tells me not ask him, let the guy ask me. *sigh he's such a dork I don't think he gets i think he's hot...
