No, self-votes should not count because then everyone will just self-vote and no actual consensus building is taking place.
If you get downvoted, hope that you have at least one friend who cares about you being there
If you self vote, you don't get to bring anyone. Even with self voting you can get -1'd twice. Otherwise you can +1 your date, the you get -1'd and your date goes alone. Which has a high likelihood of meaning that they won't go either
