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

It's obvious to me that you two can get along, you did at least once before.\nJust take her aside and let her know that your glad you are taking her and you don't want that one night to spoil anything. Be honest. Tell her you want to have a good night and is there anything that you can do to relieve some of the stress. Sometimes honesty is the best policy.

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.

If you've already said yes to the first guy, you should be a classy lady and go with him to the prom.  If you explain the situation to the second guy, he should understand if he's a good guy.

Don't be nervous.  Find a way to ask her on the weekend.  See that's the problem, you waited too long. You have her number, so call her.  But asking her to the prom should be special.  Buy her roses.  Give her a speech of how special she is to you because she obviously is.  Don't wait!  Be aggressive, but don't make like you're trying to have a serious relationship because the prom is about learning about the person you're with.

If there is a post prom at your school I would recommend going. I went in high school and had a blast and won money also. If your school does not have a post prom maybe have a party at your house with a couple of friends or plan a romantic candlelight dinner for just you and your boyfriend. Curl up on the couch and watch movies.

if you and this girl are friends or if not just ask her alone, only because some girls get nervous around other people, and if you ask her around a bunch of her friends she might just say no or yes and not really mean it. So if you want a real answer ask her alone by saying straight out without beating around the bush....say (her name) may i ask you a HONEST yes or no question?...and when she giggles and says yeah..say would you like to be my date for the prom? .....all she can say is yes or no. if she starts babbling and coming up with an excuse then cut in and say...no need to explain urself it was just a yes or no question if its no, its no,,,thats all, no hard feelings, were still cool...and if she says yes then make plans from that point on..just whatever you do dont look desperate and dont get upset if she says no..there is always a girl who gets stuck without a date on prom night..so play detective, and find another girl to be ur date..

Prom is a great thing to go to... Yes it is ok to be nervous everyone is going to be nervous.. Prom is almost one the biggest things you will ever do in your life... Make it a special night with your boyfriend... Just go with the flow it is ok to not know what is goin gto happen no one ever knows what they are going to be like...

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!

If you are the asker, you should pay for the tickets. However, if you are going as freinds then you do have the option of asking about going dutch (split it).\n\nIt sounds to me like you really do not like the guy too much (reason why he's an ex) and you are trying to come up with reasons to "cheap out" on your responsibities. If this is the case do not ask him, go with someone else.\n\n* * *  I just looked at your previous question and now understand why you are asking this question. Since you are asking a rotten two faced lying cheater, deffinately do not take that guy.  Use your head and not your heart. It sounds tough but I doubt you would like to remember your last prom with the guy who cheated on you (breaking your heart and probably trust in guys). Always remember, if they cheat once they always will (it's a charater issue).\n\nDo yourself allot of good and stay as far away from this creap as possible. Think of him as poison. I just feel horrible for your next boyfriend after your experiance with this guy.

Think about who you'd have more fun with. I went to my junior prom with just a male friend, not even a boyfriend. Have a good time, It doesn't have to end in a relationship, or even a kiss at the end of the night. Just dance, dress up and have fun!

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!

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.

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.  : (

Hey, don't sell yourself short!  Just the way you explained your situation was wonderful.  You knew what to say, your charm and energy comes through, you expressed your feelings very well, and it was as "convesational" as posted question can be.\n\nI know it can be scarier to talk to girls without your friends around, but you know what?  The girls aren't all that sure of themselves either!\n\nDon't necessarily approach someone for a conversation thinking of it as a "date conversation" - just be yourself and start talking about whatever, and as the conversation progresses you can always say you would really like to continue and would she like to go out sometime.  Be casual and don't sweat the small stuff.  Remember, she's probably as nervous as you are!  You already are the kind and funny guy who can speak up and talk to girls for dates.  Sometimes we keep ourselves from doing something simply because we're nervous about it.  Life's too short for that, and I can guarantee you that the girls are wondering what they can do to get you to ask them out!  Just relax, be yourself and you've got it made.
