so a guy who's rather nerdy and unsocial asked me to prom. i have hardly talked to him really, but he's liked me for over 3 years. the guy i want to go with is busy with a final exam and can't go. i have an ex-bf willing to come with me but i've moved on and i'm not sure i'd like to go with him. then theres a (excuse the superficial comment) not so skinny football player who tends to be rough but nice who i htink might ask me. finally i have a friend who's in college about 4 hours away who i wouldn't mind going with but i'm hesitating to ask because it would be a crazy week for him. i'm just a teen gal looking for a fun romantic night and i'm very confused about what to do. any suggestions?

It depends what you're looking for, really. The benefit of taking the nerdy guy that you might not have considered is that if ya chose him, you'd give him a night he'd remember for the rest of his life just by getting to spend an evening with you. You might not have the best time that way, but the best way to be happy is to make someone else happy.

Have you ever talked to him about this? maybe he has o clue how you feel, maybe he thinks you don't even want to go out with him and his friends. Ask him about it, tell him how you feel. If he is getting all defensive and really not wanting you there on Saturday, you may wonder whats going on, and you can still drop in on him one night. But maybe he wants you to come, or maybe you can make compromises where he goes out the one week and stays with you the other? Relationships always are about communication. If you let the other one know how you feel, you can work on a solution together. if he really cares about you, he will be willing to solve this problem with you. Good luck!

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.

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.

What does she like? I once had a guy take me to dinner in a museum..it was amazing, I will never forget that night. Choose her favorite place or even a favorite moment that you could recreate... My sister missed her senior prom due to an illness...her husband recreated that moment for her on their 5th wedding anniversary..it was cheesey and silly and very romantic..use your imagination and she will love you for it.

There's no harm in you asking a guy friend to go with you. If he's just a friend , that's fine...no pressure. You go as friends , have a great time, and who knows, when the night is over, you might end up being more than "just friends".....right now, a guy friend just popped into your mind....YES! He's the one! Call him...... invite him, Have a wonderful time at the dance, you and him. Good Luck!

Better start getting to know her now. Going up to a girl a few days before the prom probably won't work. First, she has to get her dress and all that shyt ready. Second, you make her feel like a loser asking her only a few days before and she may not want to go. Third, somebody else could beat you to it. ask her out on a regular date first. Don't make "the most important night of high school" (it's not, but that's what they say) be you're very first date. Break the freakin' ice NOW, for crying out loud.

i would say 'see ya later' and go on with my life. i know it must be hard since you have liked him since the 5th grade but if he doesn't want a girlfriend at this moment, don't wait for something that may never come.\n\njust go on with your life and don't be afraid to meet other guys. you never know, you might meet someone who wants to be with you?

Wait at least another week, then I would call him, but don't ask him why he didn't call you or anything like that because it will just annoy him. Act like you weren't even expecting him to call you, and just casually ask him how his exams went. Keep the conversation short, just enough to remind him that you're still there. If he is really shy and you think this might be holding him back from asking you to hang out, you could try making the suggestion that he should hang out with you and your friends sometime. Don't ask him to hang out alone with you unless you KNOW that he is interested in you. After this phone call, if he doesn't call you back again, DON'T pursue this any further.

Adriana has given you excellent advice.  I agree.  Try talking to her in person.  You might bring her a rose on that meeting and tell her that you would be honored if she would be your date for the prom.  That should wow her.  Then talk to her about the fact that you believed she had a boyfriend.  Good luck!  (maybe you could let us all know if she accepted!)

Thats kind of odd that someone with a girlfriend asked you... and if you feel that it would not be appropriate to go with the other guy then don't.  If there is someone you would much rather go with, feel them out about if they would want to go with you!  Overall, just do what you believe is right.  And most importantly, forget the drama and have fun!

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.

Well, as an MUNER, I've seen this happen. It's lucky that you were admin because if that note had been confiscated, there would be consequences. Anyways, you are right in asking him straight off would scare him. You don't really know this guy, do you? It seems like 2 or 3 weeks at most  and you already say he's NOT the player type. Maybe he is. If he really liked you, he would have called. This guy is not a perfect gentleman as he hasn't fulfilled his promise to call. I think he's keeping you as a safety as he flirts with you online but not in a more meaningful way. He maybe interested in another girl. There are other guys out there. Good luck.

If you don't ask her anytime soon, someone else is going to and she'll say yes. What's worse than being rejected? She waiting for you to ask her but thought you wouldn't and ended up with another date. Go up to her and ask her if anyone has asked her to the prom then ask her if she'll go with you. Worry too much about being rejected and you won't get the girl.

Give him the sweetest smile you can muster, look him straight in the eye and tell him good morning.  It's a little bit of flirting without putting yourself out there too much.  I think it's a personal decision as to whether or not he only likes girls into goth so you'll just have to wait and see.  I was one of the "church girls" and had thing for a "bad guy" in school.  I tried the flirting bit I just told you about and 2 weeks later got asked to Junior prom by him! I was 10th grade at the time. WOO HOO!

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.
