Finding a date for formal

[dancingdiva]

It's kinda last minute, so I could ask a friend, although I prefer to find my own date. I don't really like it when my friends try to set me up with someone. I'm usually disappointed in the end. The last guy I asked to be my date to a function through my sorority, canceled on me the day of the event. Finding and keeping a date isn't so easy.

That's why it is better to bring a friend. Less pressure. We all speak from experience. If you're not in a relationship or "talking" to someone, having a rando date at a "date party" can be really stressful.

Is there a particular fraternity your sorority hangs out with a lot? It might be better to ask someone from this group so he'll have brothers at the formal.

Or...try asking your guy friend. You never know, he (and you) may have a blast.

This!

For one of my formals, I had no idea who to ask, but I tended to hang around a lot at a certain fraternity, and as it turned out, my date knew a ton of the other girls and guys at formal. Even though we weren't interested in dating, we still had a blast because I was comfortable with him, plus we were free to go off with our other friends throughout the night.

Try finding someone who is friends with many of the girls/dates and you'll both likely have a good time. Even if you don't do much together after taking pictures
