<p>Hey all. So here's the story. A friend of mine asked me to prom, we don't know each other all that well but have mutual friends. Bear in mind I'm a guy - and a sophomore, at that. She was casual about her invitation, it was over the phone...and completely random, I was surprised.</p>
<p>Anyway, I am going with her, and one of my best friends (a girl) is also going to prom (she is the only one of my best friends going). So my date wants to go to an after party, and apparently her friend is having it. I promise you CCers that this "party" at my date's house will BLOW. </p>
<p>So, my best friend who is also going to prom will be going to a bigger and guaranteed better after party at a senior's house. The question is, should I go there? Abandon my date..? Or bring her with me to the big party? Keep in mind my date would be abandoning HER friends, but I personally know she'd kill to get into this party, she's pretty much a social climber.
Advice???</p>
<p>Hm, that’s a pretty difficult situation you’re in, as far as after-prom situations go. If you care how her friends will react, then accompany her to her friend’s party. If not, bring up the other party in the least offensive or blatant way you can, and see if she wants to go. Then just go.</p>
<p>Oh, and make sure the host is willing to accept you guys before making any assumptions. A lot of people have open parties, but some don’t like it when people not even in their grade who they’ve never seen before start crashing at their house.</p>
<p>Also, keep in mind that this is not your prom, and that you’re pretty much tied to whatever your date wants to do. She comes first, so it’s all up to her. You’ll have opportunities to make your own plans for the next two years.</p>
<p>Have fun lol.</p>
<p>Why don’t you ask her opinion first?</p>
<p>Go to the best party and do whatever your date wants (if she’s truly a social climber, then she’ll go to the bigger & better party!)</p>
