Summarize the following:
Encourage your friends to hang out together, even if they have dates. This will help your awkward friends feel more comfortable with their dates and give you plenty of people to talk to. For example:  Encourage everyone to sit around the same table. Guide your friend group towards the buffet so you can eat while you talk. Drag your friends and their dates onto the dance floor when “your song” starts playing. This is the perfect opportunity to get to know your single friends better. You’ll have much more fun laughing, eating, and dancing with friends than you would with a date you barely know. Additionally, you won’t have to suffer through any awkward slow dances. If your prom has a photo booth, consider taking date-style pictures with your single friends. These hilarious photos will be treasured mementos when you’re older. . Even if you don’t have a date, you can have a great time dancing. Dance with your friends, with your best friend and their date, or alone. If you know how to dance well, show off your moves! If not, you can still have fun by trying your best or dancing badly on purpose. Remember that everyone feels self-conscious while dancing. They’ll be too busy thinking about themselves to pay attention to any dancing mistakes you make. You don’t need to avoid your close friends just because they have a date. In fact, they may appreciate having a familiar face around while they’re making awkward conversation with their date. To help you relax, think of the event as a large group of people instead of a lot of different couples. Make an effort to talk to your friends' dates. This will help you get to know them better. Some of your friends may have come with boyfriends or longtime crushes. Throughout the night, there may be several moments when they’ll want alone time. Make an effort to recognize these moments and give them space to avoid wearing out your welcome. For example:  Avoid interrupting couples that are kissing. If you see a couple arguing, don’t get involved. If your friend is slow dancing with their date, give them some space.

Summary:
Hang out with a large group. Hang out with your single friends. Dance Interact with couples. Recognize when to give a couple some space.
