How to Deal With an Embarrassing Prom Date

For teenagers, the prom comes with much anticipation. Dreams of a wonderful and memorable night are common. However, the prom may end up not being all that you had hoped for especially if you have an embarrassing prom date. Here's how you can deal with an embarrassing date at the prom.

Instructions

1. Talk to your date about what's bothering you. Having an honest discussion with your date and explain that they are embarrassing you. Be tactful and kind, but tell the truth. Your date may change his or her ways so you can enjoy the rest of your prom.

2. Try to turn your date's focus onto something else that might help keep the embarrassment at a minimum. You may decide to talk about a certain topic or suggest that you two go get something to eat and drink.

3. Hang out with your friends if your date continues to embarrass you. Talk to your friends or even dance in a group with all of your friends. Even if your prom date is embarrassing you, try to have as much fun at your prom as possible.

4. Take a moment by yourself to get away. Go into the hallway for a quick walk, into the bathroom or even outside for a few minutes.

5. Avoid your date if necessary. If your date just can't stop embarrassing you, even after you have brought it to his or her attention, you may just need to avoid your date.

6. Call it a night. If you don't know what else to do, you may just decide to go home early.
