Should You Go To Prom Alone? Here Are 5 Questions To Help You Figure It All Out

So, prom is coming up, right? Nervous? Don’t be! I mean, I know the whole “finding a date” thing can be a little anxiety-inducing, and it seems super important to have one, but believe me, going to prom without a date is the best prom-related decision you’ll make. It’s not the right choice for everyone, sure, but if all the stars align — you’re going to have a rockin’ time date or no date.

I didn’t date in high school — like, at all. I didn’t go on dates, and I didn’t have any boyfriends. Not because no one was interested in me or because my parents had some sort of rule, but because I kind of just found human interaction to be extra terrifying. The very thought of being alone with a guy I liked was enough to spike my blood pressure. Needless to say, I accepted the fact that I’d be going to prom without a date, and it was really no big deal. I went with a big group of friends — both couples and dateless singles — and I had a blast.

In any case, before you decide whether or not to go to prom dateless, you should ask yourself some real-talk questions.

1. Is there someone who you actually want to go with?

Let me preface this by saying that even if you get asked to prom, you can still choose to go alone. But yo, if you like someone and they like you and you think you’d have an awesome time at prom together — go with that person. At the time of my prom, I had been hanging out with and flirt-texting (it was high school, you know how it goes) with a guy I’d had a crush on since I was 9 years old. I liked him, but I wasn’t sure how he really felt about me, and he was older than me and out of high school (I’m an old soul or whatever, I don’t know). So, I really didn’t have anyone who I saw myself going with and/or not having a weird, awkward time with.

Obviously, if you feel the same, you should continue to consider going to prom without a date.

2. What do you actually want out of prom?

I know that literally every high school movie makes prom seem like a big deal and super magical and romantic, but that is not always the case. Those movies are fantasies, and you shouldn’t let that dictate what you actually want to get out of prom. For me, I just wanted to have a fun time and not be nervous and stressed out the whole time. If you want to take chest-to-back prom photos, kiss in the limo, and maybe still be friends on Facebook after you leave for college, you’ll probably want to go with a date. But if you just want to look super cute in your awesome dress, dance with your friends, and take a ton of very dark but very fun selfies all night — going dateless is probably the way to go.

3. What’s the plan with your prom?

My prom was pretty loose plan-wise. There was no planned dinner and no planned after-party, but I know that some schools have a very structured prom experience. If there isn’t a set plan in place, it might be easier for you to customize your prom experience if you’re just with your girlfriends. Usually, the school will send around a flyer or an email or something with all the details in the weeks beforehand, so you’ll have some time to figure out what you’d like to do.

4. What are your friends doing?

You should absolutely feel free to do your own thing, but you will probably want to consider what your friends are doing. For my prom, I was lucky enough to go with a large group of friends with a good mix of couples and singles like me, and it was really chill. We all had dinner together, took pictures together, and left together, but the couples and the singles were all able to do their own things. So coordinate with your buddies, and see what would work best for you.

5. How much money can you spend?

By my humble estimate, going without a date may be cheaper. It kind of depends on what your plans are, but I can tell you that splitting a limo between 10 people is way cheaper than splitting it between two people. Just sayin’.

10 Tips for 2015 School Prom

2015 Prom Dresses UK cheap

Prom Dresses UK 2015

1. The ‘promposal’

Once upon a time lads had to pluck up the courage to ask their date to the disco without a fanfare. Now there’s a much more an elaborate way to find a date, with a whole ritual around saying I do. Some have even hired police style cars with their sirens blaring and ‘arrested’ the potential date and taken them to the proposal site.

2. Saying yes to the dress

Forget a trip to C&A or Tammy Girl for your frock, now there’s a whole industry around prom dresses – and no two dresses can be the same. Betty Nelson from Bridesworld in Wallasey says: “We keep a log. When a girl buys a dress we note down what style it is, what colour and which school she goes to. These girls are paying a lot of money and you don’t want them turning up on prom night and finding another girl wearing the same dress. We don’t even sell the same style in a different colour.”

3. Suits you sir

While the girls have their gowns, the lads have to scrub up too, with smart suits. But Betty says that boys are more easily pleased than girls: “They are happy if I cut a bit of fabric off the bottom of a dress to make a dickie bow to match their partner.”

4. Face the music

It’s not just about dresses. Up-dos, facials, manicures and pedicures, and fake tans add to the overall cost of a prom, with packages available at around £100 in many Merseyside salons.

5. Colours of the rainbow

Simple chiffon and pale pastel and nude shades have all been big over the last few years, but gone are the Gypsy-Wedding style, fuller dresses that we saw a few years ago. That’s a reason to be cheerful, at least.

6. The car’s the star

Forget the old stretch limos. Many teenagers are now rejecting the cliche in favour of Rolls Royces, Bentleys, Ferraris and Lamborghinis, all of which can be hired by prom-goers – for a fee.

7. The prom fayre

Proms are now such big business that like weddings, they have their own events where teenagers can go and get ideas as well as sourcing items for the big day. This weekend there’s one at Aloft hotel on North John Street, running from 11am-4pm, with free entry.

8. They’re getting younger

“We are starting to see 11-year-olds having junior proms now,” says Betty. “It’s gorgeous when you see the girls all dressed and looking beautiful, and sometimes we will get four girls, friends, coming in together and having great fun trying on the dresses.”

9. Before and after

Like the Oscars, it’s all about the pre-parties – where groups of lads and girls get ready for the big night together, as well as after-parties, where the fun can last all night. Girls are now looking for separate after-party dresses for a different look after midnight.

10. It starts earlier every year

Get planning because the countdown is already on. The hunt for the perfect frock begins from January onwards as the shops take delivery of the latest looks and the girls begin the hunt. Betty says: “It’s crazy. It has really grown over the last few years. For mums it’s definitely a pre-run of how manic their daughter’s wedding day is going to be – except with teenagers it’s worse!”

Star Style Prom Gowns

Despite their endless assertions that it’s “just an honour to be nominated”, you just know that deep down, those po-faced stars are aching to end up with a glitzy statuette to take home with them.
But if a gong’s out of reach, every actress and singer (not to mention assorted plus-ones and other celeb attendees) can at least hope their outfit’s a winner, and escape those dreaded worst-dressed lists.
Now that the Big Five awards ceremonies are done with, it’s time to look back at the frocks that rocked, and – more importantly – whose gown game we can copy when the dress code next calls for it.
From Emma Stone’s kooky colour choice at the Oscars to Paloma Faith’s petal-strewn Brits appearance, all hail 2015’s red carpet fashion champions.
Julie sparkles
Proving that it is possible to upstage the young whippersnappers (they seem to get younger every year, don’t they?), Julie Walters wowed at the Baftas, resplendent in a dazzling but still age-appropriate gown.
The 65-year-old chose a long-sleeved sequin dress from Adrianna Papell, and the great news is you can get the exact same one, because the brand is stocked by John Lewis and Amazon.
Stack a couple of sparkly bracelets or bangles on your wrists and add vintage-style drop earrings to up the glam factor a la Walters.
Kim takes the gold
Fashion at the Grammys is always a bit more risque than the average awards shindig (probably because the appearance of Lady Gaga means the bar is automatically raised), and while Kim Kardashian’s Jean Paul Gaultier dress is far from demure, it still gets major points for fashion-forwardness.
House of CB does an equally glitzy dressing-gown-meets-formal-frock in shimmering champagne gold chiffon, with sheer sleeves and a centre split.

Gathered at the hips, the Blanca is flattering on fuller figures, and the neutral colour means you can add a metallic belt like Kim’s, or switch it up with bright heels for a more summery feel.

Emma steals the limelight
The looming of the Fashion Police (no, really, it’s an actual TV show in America) means that most celebs play it very, very safe on the red carpet, in black, red or sparkly dresses.
