I go to an all boys school and our formal is coming up. There are a few girls i could ask but im not really friends with them and i dont not really like them too much.
Can i go to the formal by myself? will i get teased? what do i do?

A fair few people form my school had no dates for the same reasons as you, they were fine. Some of my friends brought people they didn't really know that well, and from what I could gather, their night wasn't as good as those with people they did know or those by themselves :)

It's really not that bad these days, especially because you go to an all-boys school. If you don't feel comfortable going on your own, perhaps you could ask a sister of one of your friends. :)

Deleted my post, misread your post :)

But, sister's friend's sister is a no haha (also, don't ask your own sister).

edit: oops, but same effect

About Philosophy

When I see a youth thus engaged,—the study appears to me to be in character, and becoming a man of liberal education, and him who neglects philosophy I regard as an inferior man, who will never aspire to anything great or noble. But if I see him continuing the study in later life, and not leaving off, I should like to beat him - Callicle

I actually said 'friend's sister' but why is it a 'no'? A couple of my friends did it for the formal and it's seriously not that bad.

Dunno, most people think (myself included) that's against being a good Bro. Also, it'd be pretty awks.

Check Article 19 of the Bro Code, it's a lesser version of that :)

OP, just disregard all the hysteria about what is acceptable and what isn't. Do what you want to and feel comfortable with and just enjoy the night. :)

If you don't have a date and you want to take someone, pick a female friend and just make it clear that it's not romantic (then take her to the ap anyway ;) )

Nah sorry going to go against the crowd here, you have to take SOMEONE. Get a friend to go with you (as a friend), go meet somebody, pretend your homosexual and take a guy, but don't go alone.

Hmm... you really shouldn't turn up on your own. Not because you'll get teased, but more so because you don't wanna be the only single in a land of couples. Just bring a friend (as a friend). If enough of her friends are already going, chances are she'll already want to go and you'll be doing her a semi-favour.

I also don't have a date to the formal :(. Looks like it'll be just me and me right hand.

Maybe ask around to see how many are bringing dates, at my school around 50% brought dates so at the end of the day it really didn't matter.
