Ex Stealing my Friends, DLV-ing me in front of my date

[888]

Prom comin' up, and my ex has convinced everyone to take a separate limo, and sit at a separate table. If it was just a matter of letting her have my friends to herself, then fine, I'd just let her have them. I'm leaving for college in a couple months, and obviously these aren't very close friends anyway since they're ditching me.

the problem i have is that it'll make me look completely socially inept in front of my date, cause it'll seem like I don't have any friends. I'm pretty good at working groups, but I doubt I can make it through a night sitting at a table full of people I have never talked to.

so help me out guys. the way I see it, there are two solutions:
1. Find some way so that I convince the ex give me my friends back
2. Work on some solid routines so I'll win over some new friends with whatever group of people I end up sitting with.

that sounds weird to give you your friends back. talk to your friends and have them come with or sit with you. you can find other people there to chill with. they arent good friends if they listen to her.

Your boys should be sitting with you man. I wouldn't even worry about the girls that don't want to sit with you, but that doesn't mean you can't talk to them during anytime where you guys don't have to be sitting though.

Why would you need solid routines to talk to people?
Just ask open-ended questions and make statements.
