@Fa_Maverick I would have been honored to have been your date through night. I would have made damn sure you would have felt like the most special girl there!

@moffittjc and you could have passed for my father... Family were allowed to attend if they were over 21

... Yes I was... @moffittjc I may not be a loser but man it felt like it... All those peoples with dates most of whom were all loved up then there was me single and alone. Oh well bright side was my date who didn't go paid for his meal so I got 2 serves

@Fa_Maverick hottie

Yes that is me. Back in 2015.

@Butterfingers Thank you

I went to formal alone because I am independent though before going felt thoroughly humiliated because of course it had got around that I DID have a date. When he couldn't come though of course it seemed like it was all made up. No hard feelings to the guy that couldn't make it cause work happens. Mr Y might have taken up the slack if he had of known about it earlier and had a suit aha.

@Fa_Maverick I don't know if it's different in Australia, but here in the US it's perfectly acceptable to go to the formal without a date. My daughter and just about all of her friends went without dates. I'm sorry that your guy couldn't attend with you, but happy to hear you went anyway. I like a good strong independent woman, and I believe you are definitely one!

@moffittjc Im finding happiness in my independence. I used to hate relying on myself because I didn't want to be responsible for my own mistakes. Before this year I was petrified of being put in a placement group on my own or with only 2 people but I am actually happy now. It is acceptable just no one wants to be the loser on their own or that's how it was seen in my year.

Huh I was gonna say cause it looked grainy on my other screen but not on my phone. Odd.
