<p>holy crud... June 10th... running out of time...</p>
<p>can't find a date :(</p>
<p>Hey everyone, esp citygirlsmom, thanks ALOT. Turns out, she said she was gonna go shopping for a prom dress tommorrow. Score. This all happened during AIM lol sad. I know, when I talk to her at school I will tell her everything again in person, but it worked out and I just want to thank u guys.</p>
<p>:) :) :) :) :)</p>
<p>polter : go without one?
I've never understood what the big deal about going by yourself is...</p>
<p>Congrats Squirrel888, have fun!</p>
<p>Park it like it's hot. ;-)</p>
<p>Squirrel888......glad everything worked out for you, hope I can say the same for myself</p>
<p>I hope you don't mind if I hijack this thread to get some advice of my own......I'm in a jam about a date too, and prom is in less than 2 months</p>
<p>Anyway, I'm wondering if I should ask this guy, just as friends. He's already turned down 2 girls, and he's been turned down once. Now it seems he feels a bit crummy about prom and has given up on the whole thing. I want to ask him because I think we'd have a good time, but my friends are advising me against it becuase they think he'll say no since he's made up his mind not to go.</p>
<p>Should I risk it? </p>
<p>Thanks in advance for your advice</p>
<p>Okay, this is going to sound odd, but the two girls that asked him- what were they like- (not looks or anything) but attitude, would other guys have said yes? I am asking to get to the real reason he doesn't want to go. He turned down two people and asked one. The asking of one shows interest and the turning down of two is curious. What order did it happen...does it seem he is waiting for the "perfect date", or is he just in the dumps because he was turned down, which seems a bit hypocritical since he rejected two people. </p>
<p>Were the girls friends, not his type, what was the girl like he asked? Look at that for a minute and maybe you will see if it worth the risk. Good Luck!!</p>
<p>And Squirrel- Yippeee!!!!</p>
<p>Just ask the person. I mean, there's always a chance they'll say yes. It beats never knowing and sitting at home alone thinking "what if?" Even if they say no, it's not the end of the world. It might be a little bit embarassing, but you have to get over it quick. I've been rejected before. I don't think the people I asked cared that much. They just say no and get on with life. The people that said yes obviously did. Go for it. </p>
<p>But if you do go alone to a dance, which may happen to many of you considering how high school social life can be, dance with as many people as you can. I went to homecoming alone and danced with like 30 girls (as many as four at a time), and I had a blast. So did the girls. I got rejected twice to dance with people, but I had to turn away some after a while. Show a little heart, because they'll think you're fun and cute. Just watch out for the ones with boyfriends. (And the big juicy booties. I almost got knocked off my feet once when she was shaking that thing...) Sorry, I'm going off on a tangent here. Just get loose and enjoy yourself. Confidence doesn't hurt, either. If you have to, dance with an ugly girl first just to get used to the feeling of people saying yes... but be careful, 'cause she'll come back. Pretty soon you're on a roll and feel on top of the world. Your buddies might be slapping you high fives, too.</p>
<p>lol, sdskyle....I'll keep that in mind, except I'll be dancing with guys instead of girls (since I'm one myself).......If I end up going (fingers crossed)</p>
<p>citygirlsmom, good question. I guess I'll be completely honest here. The 2 girls he rejected were, from a normal guy's point of view, not attractive. They also didn't have the most bubbly personalities. The girls were described (by other guys) as annoying and obnoxious. One was described as "one of the *****iest girls on the planet" and generally not every guy's dream. Although the girls considered him a friend, to him, they were not someone he would like to spend the night dancing with. </p>
<p>The girl he asked was quiet and more pleasant. Far better personality than the first 2.</p>
<p>As far as order is concernd, he rejected 2, then asked one, who would have said yes if she didn't have her heart set on someone else.......</p>
<p>As for me, I'm very much the opposite of the two girls he rejected, and friends with the one whom he asked. Hence, I thought there might be a good chance that he'd say yes to me.</p>
<p>Sorry for the long post, hope this clarifies</p>
<p>go for it! what do you have to lose??</p>
<p>curiouskatie, </p>
<p>You're absolutely right.....now if I could just work up the guts to ask him</p>
<p>I think I'm going to do it tomorrow, actually.</p>
<p>Wish me luck!</p>
<p>yeah, I definitely say go for it. If you get rejected, then life goes on, but it's better to know for sure than wonder.</p>
<p>And, if he says no, but you see him at prom, make sure to dance with guys far more attractive than him to get him jealous. j/k.</p>
<p>Good luck with it. It sounds, to me, that you've got a far far better chance than the two he rejected had. Let us know how it goes.</p>
<p>thanks oneiros lykos, </p>
<p>I'll make sure to let you all know. I'm hoping for the best:)</p>
<p>THen ask him....sometimes people pretend they don't want to do something or go somewhere for fear of rejection. You seem to know him pretty well, and th worst that can happen...two minutes of awkwardness if he says no!! The best, you have a fun date for the prom...those two minutes disappear pretty quickly!!!</p>
<p>So I gave myself a mental kick in the butt last night in an effort to work up the courage to ask the guy, and boy was I prepared. </p>
<p>Problem is, I only see him in homeroom now that classes have changed. As Homeroom was ending, I packed up, slowly, and was ready to ask him, when a group of his testosterone-filled male friends walked in and ruined the moment. I would have asked then, but it would have been really uncomfortable with a group of guys staring at us...........so alas, I will have to ask him tomorrow, if all goes well.</p>
<p>Thanks for being patient with me, lol</p>
<p>Citygirlsmom, your support is much appreciated, thanks</p>
<p>This is the cutest thread I've read on this forum!</p>
<p>Helix, you're right, best if you ask him when you're both alone. When a guy's with his pals, he'll do whatever it takes to seem macho, so the testosterone-filled atmosphere won't do much for you. He could turn you down when he might not want to just to look cool in front of his friends.</p>
<p>Good luck!</p>
