I am going to prom with a girl that i dont want to go with but i told my friends i would go because none of their dates will go unless they find her friend a date. Its not like she is bad looking or anything its just me and her had a fling one night and really havent talked since. She said she would go to prom with me. I just want to know what i can say or do to make this night not as stressful. if i chose your awnser i will get your e-mail address and send you 20 dollars good luck

All right, this is a good question.  What you have here is an awkward situation.  Awkward situations are the most uncomfortable things EVER.  As the answerer above me said, you must be pleasant...but more.  You must be perfect.  You have to seem like the nicest guy ever so this girl doesn't think your an assmunch.  I know you don't want anything with her, but you gotta keep the night alive.  If you start off awkward and boring, you will probably end up awkward and boring or maybe even angry or annoyed.  \n\nBe confident.  Know that you are awesome and she is lucky to be there.  She will follow your lead and have a good time.  Even if you suck, if you are a little cocky others will respect you and she will automatically think you are amazing and be happy with her date.\n\nIt is tough, I know, but all of these things have to be done to ensure that you have a comfortable night and that she is happy with it all.  Keep a good friend around, makes it easier to talk when you have a safety net.\n\nGood luck.

tough question!\n\nokay, let's get creative, any "normal" answer is going to hurt the first guy's feelings...\n\nthe way that seems like it would have the best results is to be totally honest with both guys and your parents, and try to keep EVERYONE happy.\n\nokay, been there, done that with having the parents who wouldn't let me date.  and only go to the prom in a group.\n\njust by the way you asked the question shows a lot of integrity, your parents should be happy, and the boy you like and the boy who would be "just a friend" should all think you're pretty cool...\n\nbefore i thought of suggesting what i'll write in the next paragraph i read your other posts to see if there's anything in there which would get you in trouble with your parents... if i was your parents, i would be proud of your level of self-control and willingness to say "no" and stick up for yourself...\n\nmy wacky solution... just print out this thread and show it to your parents and both boys... tell the 2nd boy that his prom is as "just friends", the first boy should be reassured that you care as much as you do for his feelings.  or... if you're old enough to invite the first boy to your prom, make a deal with your parents that you'll be home early, and go with him.  or if his (#1's) prom is after yours, go with him to his and be back early, and keep your existing arrangements.\n\nmom and dad... it's kind of a privacy thing, she probably wouldn't want you to read her other posts, but you have a good daughter, she obviously cares what you think, and she's trustworthy, and knows how to stay out of trouble : )\n\nor just don't go to the prom.  : (

Just start making friendly conversation with her, then bring up the prom.  Ask her if she's going with anyone and if not, ask her then.  Don't do anything too exciting, because most people honestly won't find it that 'awesome'.

i say go and ask her. prom doesn't always have to be some crazy romantic event. i went with my bf but before he was my bf he was my best friend. we had a blast because we were friends first there wasn't pressure to "do things" or stupid stuff like that. i think if you go with ur best friend, ull have a great time!

don't go to prom with her friend because it would be leading her on. ask your family friend if she would like to go to prom with you and see what she says. if it doesn't turn out romantic, i think you'd still be close enough for it to be meaningful!

If I were going to a dance (like a prom) or even more casual, I would ask a girl who I know can dance.  As a girl the protocol is a little more cloudy.  If a girl asked me I would be excited about it.  Some guys want to do the asking.  There is no clear cut rule about men asking women or visa versa.  Make sure that if you go with someone that they can dance.  Going with friends is benign and does not guarantee you will dance with anyone.  If you go with friends, don't be a wall flower and check out guys who don't seem to be there with anyone.

Sounds like she needs space.  Don't let that stop you from asking her to prom though.  If she says no or says she is unsure tell her you are going to ask someone else.  Then do it.  If she can't commit to even one date, she isn't that into you.

I don't get it.  I see it as an excuse to be extravagant, ride around town in a limo, dress up, and have another social event with a bunch of people from school, many of whom you probably don't like.  I went to a concert on my senior prom night.  It was much more enjoyable (and cheaper) than any school event would've been, and I had the pleasure of chuckling at some dressed-up high schoolers standing outside in the rain as I drove by.  If you're not interested, don't bother with prom - it's a waste of your time and money.

Every girl dreams of prom. She'd never allow herself to go on a pity date to PROM. If she said yes, she likes you.

The fact that it is in question leads me to believe that she either disapproves of your boyfriend, or that you did something wrong.\n\nIf you really want to go, be on your best behavior and do what she askes.  (Make sure that you continue that after she says and through the Prom... you don't want to buy the dress and then have to return it.)\n\nBe honest with her and tell her that you are concerned that she will not let you go.  Don't be pushy, but make sure that she understands how important this is to you.\n\nHope it all works out.  Good Luck!

If you have any guys that are good friends and don't have dates as of yet ask them.  I went to prom one year with a good friend of mine after we both had just gotten out of relationships and her and I had the best time of everyone there I think.  Good Luck!!!

well i think maybe you should ask him but if he says no and it is not a good idea  then just take it in and dont cry but life will go on or maybe you can just go do sommin that night with him if he does not want o go to the dance but i would go to prom cause this is your last prom and you will have memories about it later in life i hope i helped you bye bye

Or you can try the old, my God you are the most beatiful girl here, could I take you out sometime...good luck, let me know how it goes, The 8 ball has a good feeling about this!!!

It sounds like you are going to be having a hard time, because she is becoming distant from you, and not respecting the "no plans on Friday" agreement you have. Before things get worse you need to sit down and ask her what is going on, especially since she is going out with other girls. (It's only a problem if you are gay, your avatar is a girl so I assume you are too.) If you're a guy it's not a problem for her to be hanging out with girls. But it sounds like she is not respecting you, that is usually a sign of a break up in the near future. I would talk to her if I were you.

Well if I liked him and she knew I liked him i'd really see no problem in going to prom with him. Its just prom right? Nothing official? Anyways I think my Best friend would understand. I don't know what type of relationship you guys have, but is he the risk? I mean are you willing to lose a friend over him? Do you want a friend who would stop being your friend because of a guy? How would you feel if she went out with him? Does she even have a chance? I mean its difficult. I would probably go out with him, but that's me and my best friend would never stop being meing my friend because of a guy. Unless you know he cheated on her with me but that's understandable. So yeah I really think you should evaluate your relationships. I mean if she truly is your friend she wouldn't dump you because he chose you. Then again if you are truly her friend you wouldn't go out with him. ....at least not with out telling her....or giving her some heads up of what's going on. You could always say no and not tell her...but if she found out...well ...there might be a dilema.
