I really have to thank 21Emmz12 for posting this eCard, because it put to bed a thing that may have been bugging more than I've been letting myself think.
You see, in my friend group, there's about (this is just an estimation) 15 guys and 3 girls. You'd think with that statistic, all 3 girls would get asked to Prom. The thing is, all the guys who are planning on going have already asked someone else or have stated that they are planning to asksomeone else. Meaning that, most likely, I won't be going to prom.
Surprisingly, this included Ninja. Normally I would've thought that he wouldn't ask anyone on any date, let alone prom, so it really bothered me when he asked someone else entirely, someone he hardly knows, let alone talks to. It really bothered me, until I realized he probably isn't really interested in the girl herself, only in the experience of prom.
I was bold, and kept bugging my guy friends, making it very known that I wanted to be asked to prom. Still, they asked others. It really bugged me. Am I really that undesireable?
But after watching Colbie Caillat's music video for her song "Try", it kind of brought things into perspective. Just because I'm not going doesn't mean I'm not undesireable. I mean, nearly all my friends are guys, after all, I could joke that I have a reverse harem. I can still have fun without being asked to prom. My self-esteem and my self-worth are not dependent on some guy asking me to prom.
