When it comes to a dance, the attire is a cinch; asking a date is the complicated part. What is a girl without boyfriend or a guy without girlfriend to do?
1. The Crush
A dance is the perfect opportunity to approach that crush you've been blushing around for months. Because the majority of your interaction is passing through the halls and shyly waving high across the classroom, this isn't an entirely foolproof plan. Just as there are no guarantees that you'll like him or her, there are no guarantees that he or she will click with you.2. The Best Friend
Boy or girl, you have a best friend for a reason. He or she knows your favorite dance tunes, laughs at your jokes, and might even help pick out your outfit. Dances are awkward occasions, but they can be much more comfortable with a bff by your side.3. The Friend of a Friend
Put the word out to your friends that you're looking for date. They can mention it to their friends who will mention it to their friends, and before you know it, you'll have more option than you know what to do with. A friend of a friend makes a great date, because you can "research" a bit about their personality to prepare for the big event.4. The Sibling's Best Friend
Brothers and sisters who are close in age are like live-in matchmakers. Talk to you siblings to find out if they have any close friends who might be on-board. Even better? You could double date.5. The Classmate
You have a million classes together, and you've never talked outside of the confines of the algebra classroom and away from the supervision of your math teacher. Since you're already acquainted, it might be refreshing to hang out away from homework - even if it is a school-affiliated event.
