I didn't go either year. The high school I went to was a small private school so there weren't that many girls I could have asked, and at the time I was convinced that no girls liked me anyway so I didn't even try to get a date. There weren't any girls at school that I regularily talked to or was friendly with, and I didn't want to just ask someone out of the blue if they wanted to go with me because I thought that would have been weird. I didn't really know any girls from outside of school so trying to get a prom date that way wasn't an option either. Both years I basically accepted that by default that I wouldn't have a date, and I saw no point in going to that sort of thing without one. So instead I just stayed home and smoked copious amounts of weed and listened to records as I was fond of doing back then. Looking back I don't regret not going to prom, but I absolutely regret not dating in high school. It would have saved me a lot of trouble in the long run if I had so much as kissed a girl or gone on a date during my high school years, but instead I entered college without ever having had done anything with a woman and I didn't lose my virginity until 21. To this day I'm still mad at myself for not dating in high school
