<p>I have a friend. She's great. But she wants to come to the formal at my school and I wouldn't mind bringing her except... I have friends at my school who I'd already want to be with. On the other hand, I don't want to "abandon" her and start this idiotic "you ditched me" fight. For her, it's a different school & people, so it's not like she'd have that many other people to hang out with. She has already pressured me into bringing her & I agreed not knowing what else to do... got any ideas?</p>
<p>Is there some reason you can't hang out with her and your other friends together at the formal?</p>
<p>I guess not, but there will be times when I want to be alone with someone(s)?</p>
<p>Haha formal shouldn't be about getting some action- it should be about dancing, going nuts, and having fun with friends.</p>
<p>and then getting some action.</p>
<p>haha I like this thread... memories</p>
<p>What are your friends and your other friend like? Is your other friend talkative and easy to get along? =] Is she quick to make friends? If she is, I would invite her. xP If you don't want to invite her because she will cause an awkward scene or a disaster moment, you might not want to invite her by either telling her straight up or telling her you forgot about it. :P</p>
<p>Find someone that you know, who is compatible with her and likely to interact. That way they can mingle why you venture off with your "someone(s)". She meets a new friend and you do whatever it is that you have to do: you both win.</p>
<p>wait, is it someONE, or someMANYs?</p>
<p>:p</p>
<p>Haha no, I'm not talking about getting action. I meant that I can't have her stuck by my side all night. Punkiie, she's outgoing with me since we're friends, but she's pretty shy around new people which is why I have concern about the clingyness. I don't have the guts to tell her straight up and I've already used the forgotten excuse before...</p>
<p>Bendrumfront, it's someMANYS. ;)</p>
<p>You could be like "it might be akward for you to follow me around the whole dance..."</p>
<p>I think white lies are in order. I can't imagine how devastating being honest in a situation like this would be to a teenage girl.</p>
<p>I guess you can say I hate drama.</p>
<p>Take her, you said you would, so keep your word. It sounds like she's not one of your better friends, but you're her best friend, and that can be strange for both of you. Still, though, she has few friends, and I'd hate to hear that one of her better ones wants to break her poor little heart.</p>
<p>=] When's the formal? x] Hint hint sleepover party!</p>
<p>It's set. Damn. It's in a couple weeks. What should I do if she clings to me 24/7?</p>
