you got yourself in a pickle, first ask yourself who do you want to go with.  then you can let the other person down easy.

No matter what ask him in person. Its the hardest thing to do but it means the most. If its weird then just like tell him you wanted to know if he wanted to go to prom with you so that you two could get to know each other better. So basically just ask him in person.

First let him know that its important to you that he goes and prom means more to you than he thinks it does. Well, if he's not going to go with you why not go with someone else? It might bother him to the point that he will go with you. Guys will never understand women, so its best not to bother, especially at this age.

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!

he still wants to be able to talk to, but it looks like hes a different person. when hes in a big crowd your not the kinda person that he wants to be, its like 2 best friends in different crowds. one goes skater, one goes prep. they still like each other but they turn into two different people. what i would do is just come out and say it. rejection can be hard, but at least you'll know the truth if he says yes. all goes well and y'all give it a chance. if he says no than ask to be friends and leave it at that.

option 3. he wasn't much of a friend before, and now that you have relationship baggage and nothing strong platonically to bind you from before, there is no friendship to revive here. too much complication and effort on your part. let him go and make different friends, see different guys, be free!!

Don't worry so much. You should appreciate the offer that they gave  you. Don't be so shy everything might go well. Stay calm and just have a nice conversation with them. It shows that you're good to be with and they might want to ask you to come with them to another play another time.

r u 11? if so i have advice for u. (im 11) we have a dance at the end of the school year and i had a best friend named michael. everyone had dates already and i decided 2 ask him. after discussing it w/my friend, i went up 2 him at recess and said, "can i talk 2 u for a minute?" we walked and i beat around the bush for awhile (good tactic) and then i said, "im just gonna come right out and say it. will u come 2 the dance w/me?" he replied (after thinking about it), "ok. but this conversation never happened." u can imagine how happy i was!? but basicly, ask 2 talk, beat around the bush, and then say a sentance that describes what u want (e.g., will you go out w/me? can i be ur girlfriend?). hope it works! and about the other girl, just leave her alone. if she gives u trouble, take it 2 the teacher. just dont mention your boyfriend!

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.

what is the question here? you liked him, you had your friend ask him out, he said no. Seems pretty open and shut. Move on

This is what I think (and it's just an opinion)\n\nHe suddenly realizes that he has no date for the prom. You have been emailing each other, so he figures he will ask you out. \n\nThis is what you should do:\n\nFind someone else to go to the prom with. If he really likes you, he will make it known during or after the prom is over. \n\nWhy should you do this:\n\nFor one, you need to teach him that you will not always be there for his last choice. Second, he needs to know that he made a not so good decision for dumping you (and the prom will do just that, when he see's you dancing with someone else.) And three, this will test the both of you and make one or both of you realize that you have feelings for one another.\n\nGood Luck!

Its just going to take time to get over this other guy.  You shared memories with him and for now they depress u a little but in time when u think of these things it will make u smile and will not hurt anymore.  And before u know it you'll be thinking " what was that guys name that took me to the prom????  hmmmmmm"  Dont allow it to interfere with your new guy.  Otherwise its going to hurt him in the long run!

Just ask him if he'd like to go with you to the dance.  Do not say you want to go as "friends" because he'll take that to mean you don't really like him in that way.

well i was once in a situation like this.. maybe call him and tell him your feelings( thats how i did) or ask him to talk to you after school about something without his friends.. \nthen if he likes you he likes you, if he doesnt he doesnt... \n\ndon't listen to that first guy or the one that said 'flirt flirt flirt' ,,... im still very close friends with the guy /best friend i went out with.  we went out like... 2 years ago.. and im still best friends with him, talk to him all the time, his friends and my friends sit at the same table for lunch... went trick or treating with him and his friends and mine..and i didn't flirt with him either..  so don't listen to 'dat wangsta soundin' guy ' (aka the first guy dat talkedid like diss) or the big flirt one   \n(sorry you two if i offended you)

First of all, you don't owe him a thing.  Secondly, do you really want to be friends with him?  Sounds to me like any friendship you might have would only make it harder for you to break things off, and your heart will just get trampled.  You know the score.  You know he's not going to settle down.  As hard as it might be, the best thing to do is ignore his calls for now until you're stronger, because most likely he will not take no for an answer, and will manipulate you and use guilt to continue to get his way.  Don't forget he has other girls to fall back on.  Best to let him go now with your pride, dignity, and heart still in tact.

The same thing happened to me my freshman year. My roommate and a couple of the girls from my floor were invited by another girl to go home with her for a weekend. I was not. Some time after that, my roommate asked me why I didn't go. I said I wasn't invited. She said oh you could have asked. you could have come. I felt if I wasn't invited, I'm not going to invite myself. I still feel that way. Turns out, the girl who did the inviting, didn't like me. I don't know if thats why she didn't invite me, but whatever.  If I could do it again, I'd ask someone other than the inviter about it. See if they know why you're not invited. Sorry to say, but college students, just like high schoolers, can be sooooo mean. It was probably an intentional snub and you should think about it before you consider them your "best friend" and think about moving in with someone after the dorms. Good luck

be front about it, if its to hard, try it over the phone instead of in person. or be romantic about it. my current boyfriend started things up with me by asking me to prom. in each class that i went to during the course of the day, he left an envelope with some cut up pieces of paper. at the end of the day, i put the pieces of paper together, and it turns out it was a puzzle, which read "will you go to prom with me?" and on the envelope it said to meet him at a certain time, so i did, with my own envelope with a puzzled 'yes' in it. it was really sweet.
