Just talk to all your friends around you whether they know anybody who is going single.
Make it known to everybody that you are looking for a date and see if any of your friends can arrange a setup for you.
Some of your pals must have already booked their dance partners and they can help you.
Their guys may know some friends who still don't have partners.
That would be an ideal chance for you to get a date.
Make a list of all the guys you know, they could be friends, acquaintances or even distant cousins.
Then just call each and every one of them, and you will surely find at least one person who will agree to be your date to the prom.
Of course the whole thing can be good fun for you, because you can talk to a whole list of guys in the least amount of time.
Ask them directly that you need a prom date, and you are sure to land up with one.
In your list, choose a guy who would not be expecting a call from you.
Just go to the prom with the guy who has had a crush on you, but you have never really felt close to him.
He is the type who was always staring at you, but so shy that he could hardly come up and talk to you.
If he is by nature a shy person, he would surely not have asked anyone else to the prom.
And if you can make him your date, you are sure to get the treatment of a princess.
From the high-school grapevine you can get the latest news, especially of the recent breakups.
It is quite possible that their prom dates may not have been decided yet.
Now is the chance to go ahead and ask one of them, and you may actually be able to choose the guy whom you always liked.
It could be an example of multitasking.
You get a prom date and at the same time you help another person to get over his heartbreak in the process.
In order to get the right prom date, you have to be a careful planner.
Actually girls can plan prom dates better than boys.
Most of the time they plan well in advance, they spend time with the right guy and also hang out in the right group.
Of course these methods can only be successful if there is advance planning.
Guys are generally more apprehensive about the planning.
They are frightened that they could be rejected by the person whom they are attracted to.
And sometimes they like to be over-careful and just ask someone else instead.
So, for getting a prom date you must know above all what you want and the risks that you are prepared to take.
Then your job is only to ask, but don't wait till the last minute, because even the long-term planning could be a part of the fun.
