Do I go to prom with a boy I barely know?

I have always had a tendency to believe that no guy should ever not go to his prom just because he thought he couldn’t get a date. However, recently, one of my friends asked me if I would go with his friend to prom at a different school. I haven’t met this boy, but he seems to be a good person. ( we will call him Jim…) The only issue is, I want somebody else to ask me to my prom and I’m worried this will make them think I am really interested in this other guy. My question is how weird would it be to go to (Jim’s) prom and would it mess up my chances with the other guy?

Is this senior or junior prom?

Senior prom.

try asking someone to ask this other guy on who he wants to ask out.

thank you bv112. When I posted this, I thought there was a possibility that he would want to go with me, but he is going on a crazy spring break trip with another girl so my hopes of that are somewhat squashed :(. But i appreciate your feedback!
