<p>Ok, so I want to ask this guy to prom, but there is a bit of a history between us. </p>
<p>He asked me out a couple of years ago and it became this long, drawn-out, dramatic thing between the two of us but I ultimately said no to him; we didn't talk for quite some time. Now I've been talking to him a lot and we've become friends again and I'm starting to kind of become interested in him. The only problem--of course--is that now this other girl who is my friend has a crush on him. I asked her if she wanted me to help her out and talk to him about her and she said that no, she knows nothing will come of it so there is no point. I know that she is interested in him but their pairing is EXTREMELY far from likely for a variety of reasons. I was planning on asking him to prom, but after my friend told me that she has a crush on him today, I am obviously now torn. What do you think I should do? </p>
<p>In general: there is a good chance that he will say yes and there is a chance that he will say no, simply because I said no to him a couple of years ago. Do you think my friend would forgive me if I asked him? (She's a junior and I'm a senior and he's also a senior and she sort of looks up to me, hence the difficult situation...but I really have been interested in him for a couple months now, so I don't know what to do).</p>
<p>What do you think?</p>
