[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don’t think it’s a big deal to change or evolve the plan.
What? Are we supposed to lock in our plans with friends on September 1? What if someone asks you, and you want to go with them on September 5?

Evolve the plan. Your dd should check in with her friend. They should choose 3-4 other friends, boys and girls, and see if group will go.

I’ve also taught my kids just bc you have a date, it’s ok to go with them but just check in with the date, back and forth. Hang with your friends, connect with the date briefly, etc.
It’s not like a 9th grade date (or whatever grade) needs to be extremely romantic and alone.[/quote]
Wait? How is the other girl supposed to just manifest a date? No one has asked her. The OPs child will have a DATE. That’s different than a friend group of four. It’s not fair. She just goes with her friend and will see this boy there. [/quote]

It's very common to have a group of X going to the dance.  Within that group, there might be one or more "date" partners and some singles.  It might be an odd number or an even number.  It's unusual now for the entire group to be paired off into partners.  This is especially true for freshman at HoCo when most kids aren't really dating.  Three is always an awkward nubmer, but I think if they had 4 -- even if it were 3 girls and the one guy, that would be fine.  Or just get a larger group together.  She and her bestie can still get together first at the bestie's friend for makeup and hair or whatever.[/quote]
