[quote=Anonymous]People don't have to have dates to go to prom anymore.

My son did not have a gf and didn't want to ask anybody.  He planned to attend along with a friend who was also going stag.  Both were barely enthusiastic about going.

An enterprising young junior lady who wanted to go asked him if she could go as his date if she bought her own ticket and he agreed.  Our prom is limited to seniors and dates.

I enjoyed helping him spec out a suit and a wrist corsage.  The young lady bought a boutonniere for both boys.

I'd say things are pretty flexible and low judgment now.  If your daughter wants a date, tell her to find one.  Or just go with friends.  It's not weird.

I think I enjoyed the process more than my son. I really liked the pre-prom photo shoot with hundreds of kids at an attractive park.  The young lady enjoyed prom a lot - danced up a storm.  The boys were kind of meh about it.

I think it's nice that people who don't have a romantic interest at prom time can still have the fun of dressing up and having a night of dancing and socializing.[/quote]
