Is there no sorority sister she could ask? maybe a cousin? My point being is the reason we bring a date to show we are dateable? Or because being "paired up" is more comfortable?
I think this society's focus on being in a "couple" is so overwhelmingly suffocating that we cannot feel whole unless we "obey".
Personally, I do understand her fear (and that what it is, a fear). But, why is the first impulse to bring a member of the opposite sex and NOT just another friend??
Yes, I'm pushing the topic because I don't think people (not just GCers, but everyone) like to admit their fear of being the single one in a group of couples....
