Answer:
Dear Disappointed Damsel in Distress,
Who needs a date when you can spend the night with friends? Let’s be honest: do you really want to look back at old photos and think, “I can’t believe I went with I-Found-Out-He-Picks-His-Nose-Boy” or with “Favorite-Flavor-Is-Grape-Gum-Girl,” or do you want to say, “I went with my cool friends who will be in my wedding party”? I do bring up a great point, don't I? ;) Listen, don’t feel bad if your prom date drops you, because it just means they couldn’t handle your flame.
Stay cool,
