Is this weird?

I’m a girl in yr 12, and my formal/prom/grad/whatever you call it is coming up later this month.
I don’t know many guys, and the ones I have asked have all can’t come.
The tickets are quite expensive and I really don’t want to waste money.
So yesterday I asked one of my longest friends who I’ve known since primary school if she wanted to come with me, as it would be a good opportunity to catch up and dress up.

So, I guess I’m asking: is it weird if I ask a girl? I’m a bit worried about what people will think, or if they’ll think I’m a lesbian or bisexual, because I’m not. I just want to have a good time with someone I know and feel comfortable to be myself around.

Well as long as you too aren’t grinding to the death on the dance floor I’m sure few will get that impression.
‘Sides it’s you’re last year in hs so screw the twits and let them think whatever.

Just start spreading the word that you invited one your long time friends to come with you. The rumor mill should be already closed by the night of the dance. Carol

Thanks Carol :)
My friends know I’ve invited her and they think it’s okay, but I still can’t help worrying about the prejudice.
I guess I should just let it go. I’ll probably never see most of these people again anyway (and I don’t really want to either) so in the end I suppose it doesn’t really matter.

WHO CARES!
Go for it! I think you’ll wind up having more fun than if a guy would have came with you.

aww my gosh. There’s nothing wrong with going to the prom with a girl? lol
i went to my prom and had a great time with my lass friends. who says it all has to be about couples. we had a great time and we were just friends lol
just go. It’s all about having fun. no one thought it was weird of us having a dance. It was like a fun girly night without guys(that we knew lol). quite good actually. go and enjoy yourself lass :)
