Sometimes I wonder if its even worth trying?

hmmm.. this is a tough one since i don't know you.. 12 girls huh? well that's alot of girls to turn you down..lol...

ask yourself why you think they turned you down? or better yet, ask one or a few of them casually why they turned you down. say you wont be offended you just wanna know. maybe they already have dates? others might be talking to a guy already(talking means in pre dating stage), or some might just wanna go with their girlfriends and have the option of being with more than one guy during the night.

none of us can tell you exactly why you keep getting turned down, only you can find that one out. and yes, relationships in high school are important (at least i think so) because they help you understand dating and what you like and dont like in someone.

one thing i gotta mention, and this may be the reason some girls are turned off by you,... you say your parents are "forcing" you to go to prom, and you say you are in high school? i don't think that at the age of 16-18, your parents should FORCE you to do anything, you are old enough to make your own decisions and think for yourself. so if your parents control your life in other ways the way they are controling your prom decision, thats why girls may be turned off, cuz they see you as a dork(sorry!) or a daddys boy.

hope i helped!

Why don't you try asking a girl to go to the prom with you just as friends? If all goes well, she may consider going on a date with you later. You've got another year of high school, so it's not like you wont see her next year and not get another chance. Otherwise, if you still can't get a girl, just go to prom with a bunch of friends, it's way better than going alone.

Proms are boring in my opinion, especially without anyone there to have a good time with!

No one, not even your parents can force you to go to the prom. You have a voice, if you don't want to go.. say NO! What can they do? Disown you? As for girls, ask a female friend why girls won't go out with you.. or ask a male friend who you know will be honest with you.

Totally normal, dude. I turned down my hubby to be when he asked me to the prom ... 20+ years ago!! He was persistant, and eventually, I accepted. His parents basically forced him to go, too. I was not their first choice, just his.

To this day, I feel bad for the times I said "no". I was just shy and a little taken aback. Keep at it, dude. There is nothing wrong with you. If anything, you are probably too smart or too nice.

I feel you man.

But 12 girls?

Should be someone special. Meaning you should have been targeting 1 girl since the beginning.

well whether you have a date or not you should most defanitly go because its not all about going with a girl its about celebrating with your friends.

About the dating thing you need to get to know a girl before you ask her out dont just go up to her and ask her out of the blue and be charming.

Try to flirt with some girls and see if tehy flirt back

since youve known some of the girls since 7th grade their impression of you is probly of your wierd younger self...

so now you need to make an awesome immpression of your amazing new self!

and try talking to them and being friends and hanging out some

hope everything works out! :)

You may be trying too hard....for some reason the girls like the assholes...
