I just made a decision

[JohnKleeb]

I hadnt planned originally on going to the homecoming dance because I thought I couldnt get a date so whats the purpose. Well I found out my friend became a homecoming king which is cool, so although I wont find a girl to go with chances are. I think I am gonna go to the dance anyhow. Who knows I may meet some new and nice people and hopefully there will be an afterparty. So I think I am gonna have a good weekend. :hi: everyone, I know its irrelevant but you know I havent been ever, and I wanna have some fun you know.

[XNASA]

1. That's a sound decision. Go and have some fun.

I myself was never one to attend HS functions, especially during my Jr. & Sr. year, but I kinda wish I had.

And I don't think your posts are irrelevant. In fact, I'd use the word "insightful".

Have a great weekend.

[JohnKleeb]

4. not my posts, this post in particular

Thanks though, I remember you emailed concerned that you though I said I was leaving. Thanks though.

[displacedtexan]

2. spike the punch

and have a great time!

[proud patriot]

3. Good for you

One of my regrets is not going to mine .

[JohnKleeb]

5. were you shy PP?

cuz I am.

[proud patriot]

28. Nope I was a Metalhead Stoner

:shrug: the thought of spending time with all the jock etc..
listening "dance music" made me want to :puke:

I've never been shy . It just wasn't my thing at the time .

[JohnKleeb]

31. oh thats it

well my friend is a "jock" yet one of my other friends is a skater kind of. Me unlike my politics I am in the middle. I dress very casually, wearing a tee with somewhat baggy jeans now.

6. Why do you think you won't get a date.

Have you asked anyone? John, I've been reading your posts for months now and you strike me as a sensitive and bright young man. Ask somebody!!! Either way, go and have a good time. :loveya:

[JohnKleeb]

8. Trust me on this max lol

I am quite the shy person and I dont really have any crushes now.

[madmax]

10. Ok, maybe you'll get over the shyness later ;)

This will be a start in that direction. My husband was shy, too. I had to ask him out :evilgrin:

[hooligan]

15. You don't need a "crush" to get a date

Do you have any female friends you can ask? Going with a friend can be great because it removes the pressure of having to be "romantic."

[Japhy_Ryder]

17. You don't need a crush

Sometimes you can be surprised. In fact, it's probably better if you don't have one, cause then you aren't disappointed either way.

[ewagner]

24. John,

Have you considered kidnapping? :evilgrin:

[JohnKleeb]

27. I am not a criminal lol

so no.

[Padraig18]

7. Good deal!

^5! Have a ball! :D

[zizzer]

9. Some un asked for advice from a foggie

Go take some dance lessons.

Dude, I cannot stress this enough. Go learn to dance.

If there are two things I have learned women want more in a man is the ability to dance and cook.

I am not shitting you. I mean this from the bottom of my heart.

You will get laid more often and by prettier women if you go get dance lessons.

Forgive me if this sounds crude or crass but let's face it, it's true.

Zizzer

[eyesroll]

11. I'll second the cooking = good...

But dancing, not so much.
Maybe the fact that I'm a horrible klutz has something to do with it, but a good dancer does nothing for me, really.

Your mileage may vary, I suppose.

Oh, and do have fun at the dance!

[JohnKleeb]

12. lol I am not trying to get laid

but yeah dancing heh. Dont feel bad. Umm the dance is on Saturday night.

[madmax]

13. BINGO!!! Zizzer

[Gingersnap]

57. I'll second that

John, my husband FOOLEd me into thinking he liked to go out dancing and invited me out on our first date (he knew I loved to salsa). We hitched up that night and have scarcely gone dancing since (we've been together 10 years). He does cook though, when he has time and if I do all the thinking and planning part. Come to think of it, he was shy too and I had to be the one to follow him on campus and ask him to coffee.

Anyway, I went to my prom junior year, but was a shy nerd and didn't ever go to homecoming or anything. I went with an exchange student and we had fun observing the "natives." If you can find a platonic friend to ask, don't be shy.

14. Go. Have a good time and it WILL be a good memory down the road

I went stag w/ three pals of mine to my Sr. Prom and left early w/ a girl I ended up going out with for the next two years. Just go and have a good time, it WILL be a good memory down the road regardless of what happens...trust me on this.

[Section_43]

16. God, I'm shocked that you are actually in H.S.

I thought you were much older!

I am either:

(a) not a good judge of character

(b) not paying attention

(c) a middle-aged idiot

No, I refuse to enter an all of the above category.

p.s. - HAVE FUN!

[JohnKleeb]

18. heh well section this is one of the first times Ive seen you

:hi: though yes I am in high school but I am not the youngest here.

[LanternWaste]

19. Ed. for Mistaken posting

Thought someone was talking to me. I really should learn to concentrate one of these days....

[JohnKleeb]

20. You arent old at all

There was a guy here who passed away here last year older than my mom's parents.

[cally]

21. Go and you will be able to talk to

all the girls there who came without a date. Many girls go without a date so have fun.

[JohnKleeb]

22. thanks cally I bet I will

I would like to meet some new people, I had the chance but it didnt happen because my one friend wouldnt go with me and my other friend to meet up with his friends. I told him I was disappointed, he didnt care because the three of us had a great night.

[sondi25]

23. I agree

I went to my senior year homecoming dance without a date and had a blast! You will have fun :-)

[JohnKleeb]

26. hi welcome and thanks

[sexybomber]

25. ahhh going stag is more fun

You don't have to hang out with your shortie for the whole night... you can just chill and mack it with lots of girls. :D

And if that fails, you can always pull a stage dive off the DJ table and not worry about embarassing your date... hehehe

keep it fresh and have some fun!

[JVS]

29. 2 words for you.

Escort service :7

[JohnKleeb]

30. lol no thanks

[Padraig18]

32. Condom

:bounce:

[JohnKleeb]

33. Guys Ive never had a girlfriend before all honesty

:) Its true, didnt you see the thread where I said I am as shy as they come.

[JVS]

36. Hey, I mean a legitimate escort service. No Hanky Panky!!!

Just the kind of girls that rent out their evenings so that you can trick the people with GFs into being envious.

[JohnKleeb]

37. lol oh really

[BigMcLargehuge]

34. that's the spirit!

go out there and have some fun!

[seaglass]

35. John, you are one of the nicest guys on this site and there

will be a girl that discovers that.

Have a wonderful time!

[JohnKleeb]

38. thanks

[VOX]

39. Good going, John!

If you have a good time, you'll be glad you went. If it just turns out okay, you'll still be ahead for having gone and put yourself out there.

Way to go! :toast:

[VermontDem2004]

40. I never liked school dances

But if that is what you are into, have fun :hi:

[JohnKleeb]

42. I just wanna hang out

liked? Arent you just a year older than me.

[catpower2000]

41. Good for you, John...

even though these sorts of high school events can be kinda boring or sucky, I think it's important to go just so you don't look back later and say, "Damn, I should have gone to that."

Have a great time!! :hi:

Cat

[leftist_rebel1569]

43. uhh...cool.

(you can tell my opinion of homecoming dances...)

[JohnKleeb]

46. Yeah I know

but you know Derek, I like you need a girl damnit and besides maybe there will be a fun after party :).

[XanaDUer]

44. Have fun!

You're only young once.

[patdem]

45. john...there are probably about 10-20-100 girls that WANT you to ask

them...you just don't know who they are....

GO have a good time...and 10-20 of them will be there..and you WILL have fun!!!

JohnKleeb..you have GOT to be one of the people girls want to date. I cannot imagine going through high school without knowing who you are and WANTING you to know who I am...that of course was decades ago... :party: :party: :party:

[carpetbagger]

47. Agreed. Ask a friend to find you one. It works. But if you go alone

...wear a leisure suit. Nothing says "I'm the center of the world" quite like a classic polyester green leisure suit. They will remember you, my friend, they will remember you. Just like they remember me.

[sistersofmercy]

48. Have a wonderful time and...

have fun, just not too much. I only went to one homecoming dance with a date, after that I preferred to go stag. It's not that I was shy but just not really interested in dating. I didn't have my first boyfriend til I was almost 18. So go enjoy the time with your friends!
Funny, I thought you much older! You are a wise old soul!:hi:

[JohnKleeb]

51. how old did you think I was

[Lydia Leftcoast]

49. I went to my junior homecoming dance without a date

and ended up dancing all evening with a guy from out of town who was visiting his cousin. You see, he didn't know that I was supposed to socially unacceptable.

[JohnKleeb]

50. Lets hope the same for me except with a nice girl for me

[fortyfeetunder]

52. Go you won't regret it...

You can't relive these days again. Have a good time!

[Susang]

53. I used to always go to school dances

Usually by myself or with friends. Hell, if anything it was a chance to mercilessly mock the dancing of my peers and the horrible music of the late 70s/early 80s.

[JohnKleeb]

54. night all

[grasswire]

55. Can I give you some advice?

Why don't you look around for the shyest girl you can find? You know there are dozens of girls who really want to go to the dance. Girls who are more shy than you are! You'll have something in common -- something to laugh about. It could turn out very well.

[JohnKleeb]

56. I dunno yet

No one and I repeat no one is more shy than I am. Its only a couple of days away anyhow. I just wanna hang out.

[Cosmic_Latte]

58. I'm available!

If I just didn't live in a galaxy far far away, then I'd probably be! lol ;-)

But seriously, while at the party hang out with your friends - there's no problem with that. Then if you feel confident, ask a lady friend to dance with you. (Practice those moves first at home!) Some girls may be lurking from behind.. you'll never know! One tip: Have charm and grace.. that's very important in gatherings.

Enjoy and have a nice weekend! :-)

[bluestateguy]

59. These dances are silly

Women make a bigger deal out of them than men do. Don't feel bad about not having a date.
