You invite a freshman to the prom and then drop her at the last minute and you'll be going to YOUR prom with a broken arm after her older brother gets done with you...

she's an only child and prom isnt for a month.

Dude it's pretty d!ck to ditch the freshmen a MONTH before prom. By now, she's already got all the appointments for nails, hair, etc. Also, shes more then likely got her entire outfit picked out for occasion. If it was like 3 months before the prom and this dilemma arose fine, but doing it now is pretty d!ck.

Your friend doesn't have a date right now, and probably isn't expecting to get one if its a month a way. It's your friends fault for not finding one. If she's even halfway decent, she should not have had a problem.

Do the right thing and take the freshmen.


Yeah, why should you be a dick to this freshman just because this other girl is apparently too stupid to start asking guys, rather than wait for them to ask her. Just because she is your friend, there is no obligation to make yourself look like a jerk just so she doesn't feel lonely.

Just find a date for her.

i already feel bad for the freshman girl. there is no hope left for her either way. if he takes her, he probably wont want to, and if he doesnt, then that sucks too.

live up to your word you a$$ monkey and take the freshman. regardless of whose prom it is, YOU ASKED HER, and if you back out you are a big fvcking POS (dont take that lightly...read it exactly how it sounds, then go sit in the corner with a stamp on your forhead that says im an a$$hole).

take the freshman, apologize to your friend, and find her a date. problem solved, but you still suck.

So I do have a reputation, eh?

And I'm not getting pissy, Minendo. Point me to proof of my pissiness. I'll give you a cookie.

You simply replied with:
it is MY prom.
. You already had your mind made up and just post another useless thread. Prom is a big deal to girls and you are being a dick by just pushing aside your prior committment.

i agree 100%. when i was a senior, i didnt understand why my girlfriend cared so much, but she had a good time i now see that it actually was important to her. that doesnt mean it makes sense to me, but i understand. she will remember it for a long time, and if you break it off, that will really hurt her.

Don't be a d|ck, take the fvcking freshman like you said you were going too. Like the above people said, prom is big deal to girls, not us guys. This freshman probably is all excited about it and you're going to crush her because you're still clinging to some false notion you have a chance of getting into your friends pants. If your bestfriend really wanted to go, she would have got off her a$$ and did some asking.

man you said that so perfectly. it sounds a little harsh, but it is exactly what is going on.

dude, think about it this way. soon you guys will all be at college, and you will hardly ever talk to your best friend. if you take her, sure it may be more comfortable, but it is always exciting to go out with a different girl. plus, think of what you are doing for that freshman. that is probably all she is thinking about.

dont ditch the freshman. thats what it comes down to. ignore my previous post and take this one as my serious answer. dont be a jerk.

edit: oh, and if you dont do the right thing, which i assume you wont (not because you are really a dick, but because you have some learning to do), at least learn from this and know what to do next time.

First come, first serve. Your best friend should know you already have a date and it's not your problem, unless you're a wussy and make it your problem.

And if I were you, I'd rather go with a chick I'm interested in, rather than some chick I'm friends with.

Alright.. So I asked a freshman to prom. I am a junior. My best friend (girl) cannot find a date, and I'd love to go with her. But I can't just ditch this freshman, can I? What the hell can I do? I'd much rather go with my best friend..

I was once in that situation for Homecoming. I ditched the freshman and went with my friend.

Was i an asshat? Yes. Did i have more fun than I would have if i went with the freshman? Yes.

Edit: Just for the record, that was the sh!ttiest thing i did to anyone in HS and i still feel bad about it 4 years later...

Couple thoughts - my lascivious side says, take whichever girl will put out easier (this can be in the form of cuddling, making out, sex, whatever your standard is) and have a damn good time.

My personal thought is just take the girl to a nice dinner and stay home and watch a movie; gives her a chance to dress up for a bit, maybe you can wear a suit or something, then you just get to get comfortable and enjoy each other's company. It's not worth the hassle to go to prom.

Cheers!

go to prom with one chick. go to the after party(if any) with the other. if not juggle both at the same time at prom.
