DD without a date

Most girls are realizing they rather be happy than appease a man. And many are happily single or gay. Need flash: most men, especially teens suck.

Did you really have to say that? And do you honestly believe it? I am a mom of boys and girls and have some fantastic teen nephews that really, really, do not suck.

Luckily, my daughter has no interest, as it’s also a very expensive, ticketed event. You literally have to fill out a form if you want to take a same gender date. Yes, welcome to the south, where we register lesbians.

Why in the world would anyone waste their time and money on this utter garbage?

She’s right.
You were right to warn her.
Now it’s decision.

All is well, OP!

It’s what middle class people think “upper class” people do

Totally normal not to have a date and she'll end up with hanging with a variety of people throughout the night. And sub deb????!! Know your audience.

I explained to her that it might be awkward being the only one without a date. I explained a few possible scenarios that could play out. She insists that there are other kids she can hang out with and that it won’t be awkward at all.
I’ve dropped it completely and won’t bring it up again, but I feel like she’s being extremely naive here. I don’t see this playing out well. Is this normal and common in today’s world?

So your daughter doesn't want to ask a guy to be her date for the sake of having a date, and she's confident just as she is.
She sounds fabulous to me. Don't stand in her way.
