There is only one real way out of it and one okay way out of it.\n\nREAL WAY= Go up to him and talk with him. Was he joking or does he really want to go with you? It might be hard at first, but it's the true way to get his answer. \n\nOKAY WAY= Ask his friends. They know everything about him, and they'll know. Just know that if his friends are kinda dorky, you might not want to trust them with all of your heart.\n\nHope your dance is GREAT! :)

if he makes you wanna hurl, don't do it just because you missed your own prom. If you DO, then be up front and tell him that you're not interested in him romantically, but you would still like to go because you missed yours.\n\nBut if you just go and don't tell him that you're not interested romantically, that's not right. He obviously likes you, and especially because you've been to the movies already, this would be like a second date to him and he would feel encouraged that you like him. So don't string him along. Be honest with him.

If there is/was a dance or function...ask him if he went or is going. If he says no, ask  "Didn't your girlfriend want to go?"  Good luck...

It's normal, for guys to assume a pretty girl, already has a boyfriend. They find it hard to believe that no one has asked you out already.\nAnother reason, is boys, and afraid of being spurned, and might think that you are out of their league.\nThe best thing to do, is to let your friend spread the word, that you are single and looking, that might get you more offers.\nIt has happened that the prettiest girl in school, ends up with no date for the prom, simply because all the boys assume, that she already has a date, and will be flooded with offers.\nSo let it be known that you are available, that should do it for you.

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!

Call the date off, he sounds like someone you wouldnt want to be seen with. If you go out with him, dont be embarrased to say no. Because its better to like yourself then have him like you. And you can flirt with whoever you want.

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!

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!)

be front about it, and get the ball rolling. 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. of course, in your situation, mold it so that the envelopes follow his daily schedule.

How long have you two been talking?  If you both like each other that much and have been talking for awhile you should feel comfortable, not "iffy"  If you're feeling that way, then you shouldn't meet him.  Our intuition can be pretty dead on most of the time.\n\nI think it's good that you are thinking this through.  I know it's tempting to meet him, but it's better to be safe than sorry.  If you're going to go, please don't go alone.  Bring your friends, not just one but all of them, and don't necessarily tell him you are going to.  And if you're going to Florida with your parents, offer for him to have dinner with y'all and if he's still willing to meet you I think that's a good thing, but if he trys to get you alone... big red flag!

I think you should take a bold approach.  Guys who are athletes or who work out often like a woman who takes risks.  Just walk up to him and tell him that you realize he has been flirting with you for awhile now but your disappointed he hasn't asked you out yet.  So since he didn't make a move you want to know if he will go to a party with you in 3 weeks.

I just got back from prom... my parents didn't go to that, but they went to after prom... I still had fun... i even started teachin my dad how to dance.... it isn't the end of the world, you have to create your own fun... this being my senior year I could have pouted the whole time....be optimistic about the situation since you can't persuade them not to attend

Go to the prom with him and let him know you care.Spend the whole dance with him.Laugh with him,talk to him.Do everything you can think of.And make sure towards the end of the end,do a slow dance with him.Then walk out holding hands with him.And of course,give him a kiss on the cheek to let him know you really like him.

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.

with all respect, ignore the first answer.\nmy advice is to arrange a group date, like decide to go out (restaurant, beach..any place thats cool) and let one of ur friends ask the guy to come with his friends..(why groups and make it like a big deal and take the whole school with u? because 1)it will save u from the embarrassment when -and hopefully not- he turns u down after he gets the impression that ur crazy about him 2) even if u go straight up to him, he doesnt know u well enough to like u or not, so ur most unlikely to get "i like u too".. 3) such dates (ur the only part knowing its a date, for him its a casual hanging out with pals day) relief u from the pressure and him too..\n\nso when ur there, work ur charm and coolness, flirt with him, but pls not too much, and don't try so hard.. i hope u know the art of flirting!!\nafter this date or maybe another couple of dates..\nu can go out in smaller groups.. when u feel he's giving u attention and responding, then its safe to tell him.\nbut be smart about his body languiage if his feet r towards u when he talks good if he's body or feet is turned the opposite way when ur talking to him and i mean really talking like more than 3 minutes.. then it means he wanna get out..\ncasually touch his arm or shoulders when ur talkin if he moves away its a bad sign..\nif he let u do it its a good sign..\ntry making an eyecontact with him and hold it for a while.. longer than usual..\n\nif that doesn't work for u (he can't get out with u, or nobody of u knows his friends) then maybe u should choose an opportunity when he is ALONE and strike a conversation with him..\nask any question that doesnt have to be answered with yes or no..\na comment about school, summer holiday plans.. etc etc..\nif ur not that  type..\nfind out what he likes and digs (whether its a music band or art or skating..whatever which u can know by where he hangs out or where he spends his time during lunch break etc etc) and then talk to him casualy, say hi when ur walking pass him.. next time introduce urself when u have a chance..first make him know ur face..\ni would freak out if a guy i dont know he exists comes to me out of the blue and kisses n hugs me!??!!?\nwhatever u do, if u  guys never "Really" had a conversation or went out..don't just come n say "i like u" .. thats so weird..\nu can show this "i like u" by what i mentioned before.\nP.S: even if things didn't go well, im sure u'll find a better guy..\nhope this helped! \ngood luck!

LOL, well just tell him you really like that date and ask if he enjoyed it or not. If he did, he might ask you out again. Or you can just say, i wonder if we have a next time.
