I Have a Prom Date Problem...?

I was asked to senior prom by one of my guy friends. Which is cool, he would be a fun date. But, one of my girl friends likes him. They went to prom together last year, and earlier this year we tried to get them hooked up again, but he said he wanted to go with me. My girl friend was very upset, not with me, but that he wanted to go with me and not her. She was in tears. It's been a couple months and now he asked me.

I wouldn't care to go with him, he'd probably be a fun date. And I know it's not like she's going to marry him or anything. But what kind of friend am I if I know that my girl friend likes him, and i go to prom with him anyway?

i talked to my girl friend about it, and all she said was "okay".

she didn't mean "okay, go with him" she just said "okay" and walked away.

my guy friend is really excited that i might say yes.

but i don't want to hurt my girl friend's feelings.

most the feedback that i'm getting from my other friends say, go with him.

i really need to make a decision, but i really don't want to hurt either one of them.

i feel like i should talk to my guy friend about it.

but i'm sure my girl friend doesn't want me to just flat out tell him that he liked her and she was upset.

i'm probably over analyzing this whole situation,

but i don't want to disappoint anyone or step on any toes.

  • Maybe if your friend watched her diet and exercised a little he wouldv'e asked her. To late now, just go with him and try to have fun.

  • Okay so heres the thing: Your girl friend is upset over him LIKING you... and you think that is would be fun to GO with him, right? So why don't you go with him, but as friends? Maybe later some relationship might spark and your girl friend might understand. You could also go with him as a date date if you really want to. Its the last year of high school and you will probably never see this girl again. :P

    Anyways, you could say that he took it back, but since neither of you got a date you are just going as friends. And also, you could even invite another couple, or a bunch of other people so it can be like a group thing, you know?

    GOOD LUCK!! I am sure you will do the right thing. :)

  • I was in the same situation as you were last summer. Here's what you should do; 1) Tell your girl friend that your only going as friends and that you don't have feelings for your guy friend you just don't want to hurt his feelings by saying no, 2) Tell your guy friend that you will go with him as a friend and that he shouldn't think anything of it past that, 3) Help your girl friend find a date to prom so that she doesn't feel completely left out and maybe if she likes her date more than this other guy then tell her that you guys should double. If none of this works then you should really ask yourself is she really my friend if she wants me to choose between her and my guy friend, granted she does like him but its just a crush and she'll get over it, if she's a true friend she'll be happy that you have a date and that you helped her understand the situation and that you tried to help her find a date.

    Hope this helps =]

  • Ok, so try to put yourself in your friends shoes, would you like it if she went out, to your last prom in high school, with a guy you like? Isn't there anyone else you could go with? i know most people say you should just go with the guy friend, but would he think of it more of a date? and then something else? So, whats more important your friend ship with the guy or the girl? i think you should do like a group date, where you go with all your friends instead of one on one, then everyone is happy...... hope it helps......

  • i became into in the comparable concern. i became into all excited to have a date even inspite of the incontrovertible fact that I were single throughout the time of extreme college. i presumed *everybody* had dates. and that i caught with him for the month in the previous prom and by using prom nighttime via fact we had already planned to flow jointly and prepared matching tux/gown and limo and all that crap. I have been given there, and that i became into kinda caught with him. And he did not even decide directly to bounce. and that i did not like him that plenty. and you recognize what? I without warning observed how lots of my acquaintances have been single, and without warning i found out how stupid the courting BS of highschool is. factor is you think of you are the only single one yet you're actually not and surely i might have had plenty greater relaxing with those "nerds" that went stag than with my stupid "boyfriend" of the time.

  • Your friend is acting inappropriately. There is no guarantee her crush will even ask her. She is elfish for depriving a date for anyone. I feel bad for her. They can dance at the prom but she should not expect you to bow out.

  • Go with him, you never know how it may turn out(:

    She's not being a true friend, go with him and have fun, he obviously wants YOU to go with him, so don't hurt his feelings by declining. He got up the courage so go.

  • well she had her chance. he yours now, so you can do whatever you want. but don't be too braggy about what you did, or anything, because that might hurt her. I think it's o.k so go ahead! have fun!

    xoxo

  • sit them both down and tell them your dilemma and see their reactions and just do what your heart tells you

  • if he wanted her he would ask her so go for it
