My boyfriend is going to prom with another girl?
Long story short, nine months ago I agreed to hang out with my best friend. When he picked me up his younger brother was in the car and we immediately hit it off. He asked me out a week later and we’ve been together since. I was 18 and he was 16 when we started dating. I know it’s a little weird, but his parents have a ten year age gap so they understand. Anyway, I ended up bringing him to my senior prom and it was a lot of fun. Fast forward to today, we were hanging out and he tells me that he’s going to go solo to prom. I was hoping he’d ask me, but I wasn’t shocked because a few months ago he did tell me that he didn’t want to make it awkward for me because I’d be in college. I totally understood and I’m not going to force him to bring me. I’m not like that. Anyway, I asked him if he was the only one going alone and he said yes. I don’t want him to miss out on prom just because I’m a little older so I told him he could bring a friend. He kept saying “no” but I could tell he wanted to so I told him that I trusted him. He ended up agreeing and I’m not going to lie - I’m kind of scared. I mean he’s a really great guy and he’s very loyal. However, that girl is going to be looking beautiful and I’m sure they’re going to slow dance. It’s scary. Like would you guys allow your significant other to slow dance with another person? Oh god and I’m scared if they’re going to grind. What if his parents think she looks beautiful? Oh god, I know I did this to myself, but I just don’t want to hold him back. Any opinions would be appreciated.
I'm going to prom with a girl that is a friend. What should I think bout it? She asked me out of the blue so what does it mean I'm clueless here?
Take the direct, yet sensitive approach. The other answers were good. My thoughts would tell ME to first sort out my feelings about my friend, because I wouldn’t want to be the one thinking there’s more to this then there is. Spare yourself too.As a “friend” i would think you know a bit more then it sounds like here. DID she have a boyfriend and they broke up ? WAS she interested in someone, or a couple of someones and hoped one of THEM would ask her ? Are YOU a basically “shy” guy ? Are you like I was in high school and couldn’t seem to tell the difference between a girl just being “friendly” and one that was “flirting” in a subtle way ?I’d do this if it were ME and going to the Prom with her would be a good time either way.Don’t worry about it at all. The risk of making the Prom awkward or uncomfortable for either one of you, or BOTH of you would spoil a possibly wonderful memory.Just GO and see what develops. Is she spending most of her time visiting with others ? Is she going a bit out of her way to make sure people understand you’re just friends ? She will show her hand without knowing it, or she’ll tell you up front “This isn’t a date”. Let the evening take it’s natural course and do everything you can to make sure she has a wonderful time no matter how YOU feel. There is always AFTER the dance to sort things out if you’re still not sure. Don’t be a dope and spoil it BEFORE the dance. It’s an important memory for you BOTH. Have fun.
My best friend and I are going to ask the same girl to prom. What should I do?
Figure it out before you both ask her.If you both ask her it will put her in a bad spot right off the bat. She knows that it will cause tension between you and your friend. Rock Paper Scissors, arm wrestle, scream at each other, it doesn't matter, but figure it out and settle it as friends.Good friends are hard to come byDon't let anything come between friendships.From my experience gained from 25 years of being an idiot, I've learned that a best friend is more important than a girlfriend, and definitely more important than a date to prom.
Should I go to prom with a girl that thinks of me as a friend?
I and many others have been in similar situations like this in the past. It really does suck when the person you like doesn't feel the same way.But I'll see if I can try to show you a little sample from her view. At this point, you've unfortunately already given her all your chips. She knows how you feel about her and she has all the power in your relationship at the moment. But if you still continue to keep being there for her, it'll only continue to give her more power. And while it might not be such a pleasant thought, she possibly has other guys on her radar while you're stuck on the hook.If you do decide to ask her to prom just make sure you can ask in a way that doesn't show that you care for her in that way. This will be hard, since it's often hard to hide true feelings. But if you're successful at hiding it then the night shouldn't be awkward. And make sure to not always be around for her or else she'll start to suspect you're still in love with her. If she's a nice girl she won't toy with your emotions. But a lot of girls won't be so nice and try to keep you around as an option.But if I were you, I wouldn't ask her to prom. If you know any other girls (preferably friends you're comfortable with) I would ask them instead. I'm assuming you're still in high school but I want you to know that long term these one sided relationships just lead to one person being too sad or discouraged to go for other girls. And prom should be a fun experience to look back on. I honestly havent even kept up with most of the people at prom or even my prom date. While I don't know the whole context, I hope this helps.
Going to prom with "best friend"?
So, here's the deal... I've had a crush on this girl who'm I'm really good friends with for a year or so, and recently she asked me to prom. I would take this as black and white evidence that she likes me, but... she said "John (Fake name), you're my best friend. Would you go to prom with me?" I'm conflicted... On one hand she asked me to prom, and on the other she called me her best friend. So... Do you guys think she likes me?
Asking a girl to prom who has a boyfriend? HELP 10 points best answer!?
My girlfriend came to me saying that she was asked to her prom by this guy as friends. She talked to me about it and we both decided that it probably wasn't the best idea, but I told her if the guy needed a date (as friends) that I wouldn't mind too much. I would simply ask her that you want to go to prom with her. Leave out the part about you being desperate for a date. And I would definitely make it known that you want to just go as friends since you are aware she has a boyfriend. If she's a good friend she'll either go with you or tell you the reasons why she won't, but it shouldn't affect your friendship.
Going to prom with my best friend, should I kiss her?
This girl and I have been friends for like a year but we've gotten really close over the last 3 months. I had a crush on her for a while. So 6 weeks ago I asked her to prom and she said yes (: and she's super excited! Well I decided last week to tell her that I really like her. She said she only ever saw me as a friend and doesn't even want to date at all right now. We agreed to still be friends though, and the whole thing actuslly made us even closer cause she thinks I'm amazing for being so mature and understanding and sweet (I told her all I want is for her to be happy.) Well prom is another month away and it's a really special night. We'll both look great and they'll be lots of dancing and touching and overall I know it's gonna be a great time. So here's my question: If I don't pursue her and just be friends, then we have a great time at prom, is there a chance she'll somehow see me in a different way? If it seems that way, should I try kissing her? Even just on the cheek? I'm NOT chasing after her anymore, we made that clear, but she never said things couldn't change down the road..
My friend wants to go to prom with the same girl I want to go with. I don't want to mess up our relationship with each other. What do I do?
If you’re really good friends, talk about it. Proms are pretty special, but once the proms are over, you still want to keep your friends. Work out a compromise that will let you stay friends. It’s important to make sure he understands that this is where you’re coming from.How well do y’all know the girl? Is she fun? Does she have a great sense of humor? I know it sounds crazy, but you could BOTH ask her, and the three of you go together. (Personally, if I were a girl and had two dates to the prom - how cool would that be??) (You and your friend can split the limo!) The two of you can work together to make this prom night all kinds of magical for the girl. If y’all are busy worrying about what to do to make things special for her, you won’t have time to get snarky with each other.It’s a win/win/win for the three of you. Just a thought.Thirty years later, people will still look back on what you did, and count it among themselves as one of the coolest things they remember from being in school.Best wishes for your your continued friendship, AND a great time at the prom!!
