A black tie event tonight and all of a sudden- no date!

So- I have a big industry event to go to for work tonight. Its the lighting industry's annual black tie gala.

I had a date... but all of a sudden yesterday he told me that he couldn't go... I've been trying tirelessly to find a new date but cant.

What would you do?

OR... who wants to go?! HAHA

This brings up the question of Man Vs. Woman

I feel like if a man goes alone its because he didn't want to deal with bringing a woman, but if a woman goes alone its because she couldn't find anyone to go...

I know thinking that is bad, but thats just how it is- I've even talked to some of my girlfriends about it, and they feel the same way.

And yes, I've thought about bringing a girlfriend of mine, but they all seem to be busy. :(

Are" they all turning their back to you so that you feel lonely an think of seeking for the big love ?!!!!
???
Meaning don't you have a real lover to invite !
a "real lover"? The guy that I'm sorta seeing can't go. Other than that- no. I'm picky. I don't have bunch of guys waiting in the wings like some people do. I'm a relationship girl- not a dater.

AND its super last minute- everyone has plans.
Amazing! You no guys around!You seem very nice.
I'd go on my own and see if there's someone to meet.
not an event I can go alone to. My company paid for a whole table, if there was an empty seat, itd be a big faux pas
Well if you can't go alone, and can't find a date, then maybe you won't be going at all? No other friends who could fill in for you? I mean, if you absolutely HAVE to have a date, then any close friend will do.
haha I tried. Trust me. I exhausted every possible option.

I ended up going solo. I had a lot of people ask where my date was... and when I told them I didn't bring one I got some "atta girls"... with a sympathetic undertone. haha

oh well. I had fun anyway... even though it was a bit awkward.
who knows.. people may have secretly been jealous of "that girl who came solo and still looked and acted fabulous..." you never know! ;)
Good for you, Kara!
FYI, there was a black-tie affair last fall that I attended solo (everyone else, literally, brought a date). I was nervous but chickening out is even worse; fortunately, I ended up having a great time (you end up getting the attention of all the single people).
see my last post. :)
What about your Company, did they think it was a faux pas ?
