American culture prom //high school dance event

I have a question for someone who is knowledgeable about American culture.

There’s a dance event called "prom" in American high schools.

It is an event where men invite women to dance, but I have one question.

What happens to men who invite someone but no one says yes?

Also, what happens to women who are not invited by anyone?
