Prom Spot - Real-Life Prom Date Disasters!

You've finally snagged that perfect prom date. After eyeing him all year, you can't wait to dance the night away and say good-bye with a magical kiss. Unfortunately, it doesn't always go that smoothly. From dud dates to rude dudes, our PromSpotters spilled their most humiliating prom date disasters.

Two-Timer
"I somehow managed to land a ridiculously hot prom date. Even though he went to another school, people at my school found out that we were going together, and word spread about how lucky I was. On prom night, he was getting tons of attention. After prom we all went out to a comedy club, and soon I noticed my date had disappeared. I was shocked to find him in the bathroom kissing another girl! I've decided that hot prom dates are totally overrated."

Nauseous Night
"I was so excited to go to prom with my date -- he was really cute! We were having a great time until I noticed that he didn't look like he was feeling so good. Sure enough, when we got into our limo at the end of the night, he threw up right on my dress. He ended up in the ER with food poisoning."

Stud Swap
"I said yes to the first guy that asked me to prom. We were friendly, but I wouldn't call us true friends. First, he was 20 minutes late to meet the limo, and then we sat with his weird friends at prom. To make matters worse, he told me that he got us a hotel room in Times Square for the night. Instead of going back to his hotel room, I ditched him and ended up kissing my friend's date. Not the classiest move, but I had a great time with a date even though he wasn't mine."

Lost Property
"After prom, all of my friends met in the parking lot to get directions to our friend's house where we were spending the night. My date borrowed my cell phone, and then set it on the trunk of a friend's car. A few minutes later, the friend drove away with my phone. We looked for it, but weren't able to find it. I spent the rest of prom without a phone, and the next day I had to shell out $100 for a new one." -- Caitlin, Bristol Eastern High School, Bristol, CT

Date Disaster
"My boyfriend and I met another couple for dinner before prom. After eating, we went back to the car and my boyfriend's pants ripped! My mother had to bring him another pair. After the dance, my boyfriend dropped his mom's brand-new digital camera, and it shattered. At the school's after-prom party, we went through an obstacle course, and he lost his cell phone! Later, he took me home and walked me up to the door to give me a goodnight kiss. When he went back to his car, he realized he'd locked his keys inside with it still running! It was 4 a.m. and I had to take him home to get a spare key. We've been together two years now, and we look back on this night and laugh…I'll never forget about my first prom."
-- Ali, Southport High School, Indianapolis

Rude Dude
"Last year I went to prom with my then-boyfriend. I lucked out in getting a really cheap dress, so I assumed that everything else would go as smoothly and that it would be the best night of my life. I was wrong -- very wrong! First of all, I had to pay for both of our tickets to a prom that was at his school. I had to pick him up because he lost his license a while back, and when I arrived, my corsage was brown from sitting out for so long. His response was, ‘Hey, it matches your dress, right?' My dress was gold. I also paid for the dinner, which happened to be from Taco Bell. If that wasn't bad enough, he left me alone during the dance. Luckily, it was only my junior prom. This year is going to be so much better...I hope."
-- Amanda, Mount Pleasant High School, Concord, NC

Mind Games
"In my junior year I was a very confused girl. I had just broken up with my longtime boyfriend, Andy, and had started a new relationship around prom time. I planned to go with my new guy, Tyler. A week before prom, though, I decided that I didn't want to be with Tyler, so I dumped him and went with Andy instead. During dinner, I threw a green bean at my friend Kati, and Andy called me immature. He also called my friends some naughty names. I got up and told him that he needed to leave -- so he left me stag! After prom I called Tyler and we went to my after-prom together."
