<p>Okay, this post isn't actually for me, but it's for my cousin...her boyfriend doesn't want to go to prom o_O. He doesn't like school dances, and he says that he doesn't want to even go to prom. She tried to convince him that he'll be missing out on a lot of memories, but he's like, "Well, what kind of memories from a dance can compare to the memories we've had throughout the school year?" But I mean, my cousin has been looking foward to prom since...8th grade graduation. Another thing is that...another guy asked her to prom...and she doesn't want to go with him but she wants to go to prom and have a good time. Is there any way she can convince her boyfriend to go?</p>
<p>Promise him a lil sumpin sumpin after...</p>
<p>she should tell her boyfriend that if hes not going to take her, shell just go with someone else. and if he tries to argue, she should say that she wanted to go with him, but if he wont go, shes not going to deprive herself of something she really wants. then, if he still wont go, she should just go with someone else.</p>
<p>dump that mofo. he sounds really stupid.</p>
<p>This happened to me last year. I just told my boyfriend (at the time) that I was going to go with another guy who was a good friend. My boyfriend changed his mind.</p>
<p>Can't she just go to the prom without a date?</p>
<p>Really, what's the big deal about prom?</p>
<p>All you do is dump a ton of money over a rather useless and worthless activity. The point in a relationship is to appreciate the person you love, not go out to an overpriced event.</p>
<p>Her boyfriend is right in not wanting to go to prom, but he should probably make it up to her. Dinner at a nice resturant?</p>
<p>.......Sex?</p>
<p>Well yeah but see, for a girl...it's about dressing up and feeling...special. Okay look, my cousin is wardrobe-obsessed and her parents are buying her a friggin' Versace gown for her prom...she just wants it to be perfect, that's all.</p>
<p>How materialistic.</p>
<p>Although, I'm in no position to be preaching. -__-;</p>
<p>Blah.</p>
<p>A lot of guys have that reaction intially. Let's face it, I'm sure there are exceptions, but for plenty of guys dressing up and dancing is not their idea of a good time. It's a lot easier for him to be a martyr and refuse to go to prom than it is for him to be enthusiatic about it. Putting aside the fact that he sounds pretty immature, as soon as he hears about her being interested in another guy, he should clean up his act. He's going to be a lot more miserable sitting at home on prom night than he would be if he just went with her--If he has to find that one out the hard way, it's his loss!</p>
<p>Personally, I'd just go alone and hang with a bunch of friends. I wouldn't want my bf's refusal to go to prom ruin anything.....and having a date can sometimes be a hassle, especially if it's not a steady bf or gf.</p>
<p>But then again, I suppose she has this cute image in her mind of what prom would be like. If she really wants to go with him, then she should simply tell him that she'll go with another guy if he doesn't.</p>
<p>If it's a really big deal for your cousin, he should be a good boyfriend and take her since it's only one night. But if he's adamantly against it for some valid reason, then your cousin should consider going with someone else. Afterall, going to prom with someone that doesn't want to be there is BAD NEWS.</p>
<p>Tell your cousin to just forget her boyfriend for one night and go to the prom with another non-romantic male friend. It's really not that complicated, as long as she doesn't let the evening turn into a romantic event with another guy.</p>
<p>Your cousin definitely should not miss her prom!</p>
<p>If he really don't want to go, she can't force him. I'm sure she can live without her bf in the prom...there's still friends.</p>
<p>hah silicon.....nope.....she should threaten to take a ROMANTIC male friend. That's the best way to get her real boyfriend to go. If he doesn't go, he has no right whatsoever to get mad at her for taking anyone she pleases.</p>
<p>just tell the bf that u will be goign with a loce friend. i know lotsa people who go with friends rather than bfs cuz some pople just have loser boyfriends and u cant do anything about that. losers will be losers =P</p>
