scared for prom!

Pre-College Issues High School Life

<p>So basically a pretty good guy friend (senior) asked me to senior prom but I'm only a sophomore, which is cool, I guess.</p>

<p>But I'm scared that we might not <em>click</em>, if you know what I mean. Like I talk to him pretty often and we're pretty good friends, but it'll be like 5-6 hours together...it just scares me...and I'll have very few people to turn to if we don't happen to <em>click</em>! I know like 3 other seniors that are going, perhaps, but that's not too reassuring.</p>

<p>Is anybody else in this sort of predicament? Should I just go and hope for the best?</p>

<p>um, i was in your situation as a freshman... but i went with my best friend too (she was also asked by a senior). i would just say that if things get awkward or they aren't fun, you could always feign sickness and go home...</p>

<p>lol don't pretend you're sick and go home. it's his senior prom!</p>

4

<p>go with him...if things don't work out tell him that you ate too many tachos for lunch and now have developed bad case of acidity...</p>

but she shouldn't be forced to endure a terrible and awkward time just because it is his senior prom...</p>

<p>Who would feel worse about it, she if she had to endure some awkwardness for prom, or he if he had his date go home because she was "sick" (I doubt he wouldn't see through it).</p>

7

<p>well, i would always place her feelings over the guys, but that is just me...</p>

<p>You should go to prom. It's a very traditional thing. It's pretty good to go. Don't miss out on the fun stuff in high school.</p>

Oh come on that's such a double standard. If a guy stands up a girl at her senior prom, it's basically the end of the world for him! Seriously, it's his senior prom, something he'll remember for the rest of his life, I mean I'd just suck it up and try to make the best of it.</p>

10

<p>If he asked her, obviously he's interested and wants to have a good time. Plus he's a senior, this is his last prom...I would just go along with it.</p>

11

<p>soldier it, this is probably on the list of ten best things that will happen in his life, dont ruin it for the guy.</p>

12

<p>lets stop right here:</p>

<p>how do you know things will go badly?</p>

<p>just hope for the best, prepare for the worst, and you'll be ready for everything in between!</p>

13

<p>its just a ****ing dance</p>

14

<p>i agree fae. everyone is acting as if this will be the defining moment of his life...</p>

15

<p>i read your posts and so are you
...</p>

16

<p>I am getting the impression that prom is as important as college from some here, and I agree with fae and hotpiece101.</p>

how am i acting as if it is the defining moments of his life?!?</p>

<p>i basically told her to go home if she didn't have fun and everyone has responded by saying that it would ruin "his senior prom." if i thought prom was that big of a deal, i would have told her to suck it up, so as to not completely destroy the rest of his life, by leaving prom early...</p>

<p>It's incredebly rude and just plain mean to stand someone up. If she didn't want to go, she should have said no. I cant understand by any stretch of the imagination how it would be alright to stand someone up, and you all are acting like it's no big deal. It is a big deal, and not just because it's prom. stanging somebody up like that is dishonest and hurtful. Other people's feelings aren't something you can just toss around like that, on a whim.</p>

<p>If anything, if you won't go, give him fair warning. But this is somebody you consider a friend. And he doesn't deserve to be blown off.</p>

19

<p>It's not about whether prom is important. It's about whether your friendship and your agreement to go with him is important. and that is important, regardless.</p>

<p>Plus standing someone up could lead to a lawsuit against you if he spent a lot of money on this, as Judge Judy proved on one of her episodes.</p>
