<p>Alright, sorry if this is a repeat (I apologize, I know there are many "HELP!" prom threads), but it's really important to me and I need CC advice ASAP:</p>
<p>Though me and my prom date are good friends, we don't really know each other's friends at school. Her group is setting up dinner/limo, and so is mine. Alas, we are torn as to which group to go to.</p>
<p>She tells me that she doesn't care, but I get the sense that she wants to be with her friends, and honestly, it's the same with me. I just think it would be ackward for me to be with them, and vice versa. </p>
<p>And then I thought about it: do we HAVE to go together as a couple for pre-prom dinner and stuff? I know it takes away the romantic factor, and personally I haven't heard of many prom couples doing this. But in this situation, would me going with my friend's limo and her going with her's be the best? If so, should I just flat out tell her not to go as a couple then (wouldn't going seperately defeat the purpose)? :(</p>
<p>I'm just amazed at how frustrating prom can get! Please, any advice/opinion would be greatly appreciated! (she's supposed to call later this afternoon...)</p>
<p>If yall are going just as friends and you have no interest in her besides being a friend, you don't have to go together to pre-prom dinner/limo. Otherwise, you should go together. If yall do go together for dinner/limo, be the gentleman and go with her friend's unless she insists otherwise. You will have plently of time during the course of the night to hang with your friends anyway, and who knows, you might meet some new friends with her group.</p>
<p>That's just what I'd do in your case. In fact, I was in sort of a similar situation last week at my prom and that's what I did for the most part.</p>
<p>If it were me, I would go with your date's friends group out of chivalry, and I certainly hope your friends would understand. (I tend to be a naturally chivalrous sort of guy which is why I say that)</p>
<p>Thanks guys, so far. it's just that I really don't like them (well, it's more like I don't hang around with them and stuff), but at the same time, it'd be ackward being a couple, yet going seperately.</p>
<p>Dude when she says "that she doesn't care".... it usually means that she does actually care. Thats just from my experiences..</p>
<p>I say you should go with her and her friends just b/c it is her special night.. Meet some of her friends. </p>
<p>For me, I didnt see prom as really special.. i dunno why but thats is just me. I just saw as another dance and dinner... It is really fun but not really life-changing for me</p>
<p>Do girls ever not care about this stuff? If she says "I do care" does it mean she doesn't?</p>
<p>just go with her friends, it shouldn't be that big of a deal. and you'll have time to hang out with your friends later on.</p>

<p>Nope. Whether she says she does or doesn't care, she does. Learn girlish, it's harder then latin =]. Anywho, go with her friends and if you really don't want to then you should not go as a couple, as has been said before.</p>
<p>yeah the safest bet is to just go with her friends. as a girl, i predict she'll say, 'oh i really dont care, if you want to go with your friends, thats fine by me' but that jsut means she wants you to insist, to know for sure that you want to go with her friends. insist.</p>
<p>omg, but isn't it too late (*rude) to not go as a couple?</p>
<p>diehldun...personally, I'd say yes to both late and rude, in my opinion. I mean, if I ask a girl to a dance and she says yes, my mind always says stick with her, at least for that dance.</p>
