Happy prom season to people everywhere and inanimate objects that look like people!
Taking a date to prom isn't for everyone. Sometimes, your date bails last minute. Sometimes, over the top promposals just aren't for you. And sometimes, your celebrity crush/unrequited love stays unrequited.

Tweet may have been deleted
Twitter user @shannon__fields posted two photos from her high school prom, captioning it, "Do you think me going to prom with a cardboard cutout of @nickjonas had anything to do with why boys never liked me?" She even had the classic foot-popping kiss with her paper date.
6. The girl who brought Danny DeVito to prom

Good thing there's no troll toll for high school. Hannah Gladwell brought a cardboard cutout of Danny DeVito -- who was at least wearing a blazer -- to her prom.
7. The senior who went to prom with Batman
Tweet may have been deleted
"Incase you're having a bad day," @Asivrs tweeted, "Remember that I went to prom with a cardboard cutout." She even matched her superhero date, accessorizing her dress with a Batman belt, fingerless gloves, and a bat mask. It's a lot.
8. The girl whose date got hit by a car
Tweet may have been deleted
When Avinnash was hit by a car, he couldn't make it to his senior prom. Instead of going to prom with him, Amanda brought a cardboard cutout of his face and had someone stand in as Avinnash for her prom photos.
According to their friend Zahra, Avinnash was OK, even if he was left for a cardboard version of himself.
9. The high schooler who brought tech daddy Elon Musk
Tweet may have been deleted
Elon Musk: billionaire, innovator, and most recently, prom date. @thesmelloftea brought a cutout of the Tesla CEO as her date.
"I'm sorry Elon I just really look up to you and watching the falcon heavy launch in person made me tear up," she tweeted, "Honestly I only think it's fair that Elon gets a cardboard cutout of ME."
10. The young voter who felt the Bern at prom
Tweet may have been deleted
On the cusp of graduation, @chloxraynaud took a political stance at prom and brought a cardboard cutout of then-presidential candidate Bernie Sanders. She captioned her prom photos with #Bernie2016 and #FeelTheBern, posing with her democratic socialist date. Even if Bernie didn't win the primary, @chloxraynaud definitely won prom.
If you're dateless for prom this year, just know that there are a lot of options out there.
