Dance with Single Guys

crowd, nightclub, audience, music, musical theatre, You showed up alone, but that doesn't mean that you have to leave alone. There are bound to be boys that are in the same boat as you. Since they won't have anyone to dance with, you should walk right up to them and start shaking your booty. Just don't steal anyone's date! You don't want to initiate a cat fight. Dancing with the single guys is one of the best things to do when you don't have a prom date.

Laugh about It

In fact, they'll probably be jealous of your confidence!

Mingle at the Snack Table

Don’t Worry about What Other People Think

performance art, nightclub, audience, disco, interaction, You can't waste your time worrying about what other people think of you. Even if you had a date, others would judge you for what you looked like together, how much time you were spending together, and how intense your kisses were. You can't escape criticism. That's why you should forget all about their opinions! The only opinion that matters is your own.

Enjoy the Night!

Where Thoughts and Opinions Converge

One of my clients(I'm a hairstylist) boyfriend just dumped her a week b4 both their proms. She has her dress, tickets, 2 hair& make up appointments. She is still going with her best guy friend, who is more than thrilled to take her last minute. If not, she said she would go alone, this is a special time in her life& she wouldn't miss it for the world. Yes, she was bummed out about her b/f dumping her, but, she still has a great attitude and she's going with or w/o a date. Very cool!!
