Can you go to prom without a date?

So, I'm faced with a bit of a dilemma here. I've been invited to prom, but the thing is, I don't have a date. Now, I know some people might say that going to prom without a date is perfectly fine, but I can't help but feel a little nervous about the idea. Do you think it's okay to go to prom solo? Or is it really essential to have a date to make the night enjoyable? I'm curious to hear your thoughts on the matter.
