<p>Okay guys, I need some help here. I am a junior guy who has this girl that he wants to ask to Prom. I've even figured out how I am going to do it -make a video and play it on the SMARTboard during Chem class. I went to Silverbelle-our winter formal- with this girl, and we've gone to movies and basketball games and stuff, so I figure my chances are pretty darn good.
My problem is this. I have a girl friend (note the space) who is in the same Chem class as the girl I want to ask to Prom. Hypothetically speaking, I might have asked this friend out recently, and gotten a "Not right now," which I interpret as a polite brushoff. However, this friend is very sensitive, and I really don't want to hurt her. She broke up with her boyfriend of 2+ years a couple of months ago, and now has no clue who she will go to Prom with. I don't want to ask her for fear of seeming insistent or obsessive. Should I change my idea for asking the first girl, or should I just go ahead and figure my friend will be OK with it?</p>
<p>damn, tough *****.</p>
<p>If I were you, I'd either
1.) go ahead and play the video, or</p>
<p>2.) if you really want to ask this girl friend, try again, and if you get the same response ("not right now" ish), it's probably more of a no - then play the video. if she says yes, then I guess you're good to go...?</p>
<p>Yeah, but the problem is that this girl friend has a couple other guys after her too, so I can basically predict her answer from here. Does that mean just go with option 1?</p>
<p>yeah, just go with option 1</p>
<p>depends. how close are you to the girl friend and how much does this girl friend like you?</p>
<p>Hmm, so far I would say that we like each other as friends. I mean, we are a lot closer to each other than I am to most people (Hour-long phone conversations, six paragraph emails, etc.) Actually, part of the reason I asked her out was because I knew I liked her and we were approaching the point where it would be awkward because we would know each other too well. That being said, however, she does have a lot more insight into my faults than most girls do. She and I are kind of at odds lately because I beat her in the election for NHS President, but hopefully that will blow over. In answer to the second half of your question, I don't know how much she actually likes me, so it is hard to say.</p>
<p>Don't take anything from hard-to-get girls. I personally feel that if they put you in awkward/uneasy situation, then get out ASAP. If she really likes you, you wouldn't be having this problem. By all means, keep her as a friend. If she really liked you after knowing u so well, u wouldn't be in this situation. Embrace the girl that shows interest in you, assuming that u are interested too.</p>
<p>lol dammit...if I hear one more damn thing about prom...I swear...</p>
<p>can't wait for prom to be over honestly...too much uneccessary preparation/drama...</p>
<p>@georgemclellan45</p>
<p>just follow your gut instinct. personally i would just ask the said girl to go as just friends.</p>
<p>prom isn't about showing off the hottest girl that you can get...the goal is to have fun. ask a girl that is fun to hang around.</p>
<p>awwww.</p>
<p>Go with the girl who shares your interests, and easier to have fun and talk to. High school proms are not serious, lol. Girls often go with many different guys the whole year. Hmm, why don't you just order some flowers. My friend (who's not on x-country) found out that the my teammate would be at x-country team dinner, and ordered flowers to be delivered. It was so adorable. Our boy's captain walked out because he was going to ask her out too.</p>
<p>awwww you sound so cute. go for it.</p>
<p>i agree, bluthunder, prom is WAY too much drama.</p>
<p>oh, and smartboards are the shizz.</p>
<p>oh, and i <3 the arctic monkeys.
that is all.</p>
<p>ok, this really isn't that hard. don't ask the chick during chem class...isn't that FU CKING OBVIOUS???????</p>
<p>scumbag.</p>
<p>Sorry that you disagree with me. In your esteemed:rolleyes: opinion, what should I do instead?</p>
<p>Oh, and thank you for being so civil merudh123.</p>
<p>just stay a little after class and wait for her. and just start a normal conversation up and then bring up the prom.</p>
<p>don't think too much about it. junior proms should not be big deals. the goal is to have fun.</p>
<p>absolutely do not play a video in class unless you want her to say "no"</p>
<p>just ask her normally strait up to her face after class in private</p>
<p>actually reeze. depends on how close they are. a video in class would be like "awww" if they're close.</p>
<p>a video in class would be like "wow he is desperate/lame and really wants me to go... so I'll say no"</p>
