prom date

Formal dance companion

A prom date is the person you bring to prom—the formal dance that caps the American high school experience.

Having a date is traditional, making the invitation itself a social ritual: He asked her to be his prom date with an elaborate sign.

The term can describe the person or the arrangement: I still need to find a prom date.
