johnjohn320, listen and listen well, this is the most important realization that you came across all night:
...After she kept abandoning me, I finally gave up and hung out with some of my friends instead.
don't waste your time with women like this, trust me when I say this as I used to have an ex-girlfriend that immediately came to mind when I began to read your post. DO NOT BOTHER, they carry baggage you won't even imagine, and if its not baggage, well, just step away, take my advise, dont get involved with her.
danny~!

hah.. prom is overrated
i'm going into my junior year in college now and looking back, prom was fun and all, but it's just a memory man. it sucks that it wasn't such a great deal, but it's just 1 memory out of million more that you've got to make. just try to have twice as much fun at graduation to make up for whatever the b!tch did at prom to ruin your night
all i can say that my prom night was fun despite a few minor snags. it was kinda akwards as i asked some freshman girl to go like 2 weeks prior. it was just some chick in band, but we ended up hooking up (as in dating) a few weeks later only to break up a couple months later. hah, all behind me, but said and done we're still friends and talk online and whatnot still.
anyway too far off track here, just make up for it at graduation

That sucks... I have a hard time believing she just doesn't like you anymore. Something is wrong. Try to find out what it is, but don't try too hard.

Yeah, if everything's always been good in the past, I hope she had a good reason for being so bipolar...otherwise, sorry to hear about how things went, sounds like prom was just more than she really wanted? I'm amazed you stuck around her as much as you did...if you're not together, you had no reason to keep her company if she kept giving you the cold shoulder...at least one of you should've been able to enjoy the evening.

Prom is put on by the students, and held in a resort in a different town. I see no irony. That, and dancing is a bit different than textbooks and teachers.
Well, I don't think it ruined the rest of my group's night, both the other couples have been happily dating for a some time (they're both really cute together, heh). But it definitely made everyone uncomfortable at times.
No, unless ring worm medication has any adverse effects that I'm unaware of.
Well, I was gonna say, as corny as this is gonna sound, that one good thing came out of the night(s): I realized I have some damn good friends. They were so supportive of me, sort of "took me under their wing" I guess when things went sour with my date. When in private, they had some really supportive things to say, it was sort of a revelation for me as to how much they actually cared.
Especially since my date is good friends with the other two girls.I appreciate the support, but please don't call her that.
As I've been mulling this over in my head, I've decided that it's easy to get angry. It's easy to say "bitch" and blow her off. But I just can't do that at this point. I still haven't heard her side of it, and it's no more fair of me to hold a grudge without allowing her to explain than it was for her to act the way she did. The last thing I want to do is discover there was a valid reason for her behavior, after I'd already jumped to conclusions.
I asked this girl to Prom in the first place because of all the time we spent together prior to it. There were never any issues of this sort. She was always so cool. I'm not gonna shut off any feelings I have for her (friendship or otherwise) because of how she acted at one event, after all the good times we had before it. But my feelings are hurt, and I eventually will demand an explanation...a real one.
I had a nice long talk with my older sister last night (she and I are really close), and combined with my friends' kindness and support, it's hard for me to stay bitter. I'm going to let a few days pass, and then I'm going to find out what happened.
Thanks for the kind words, guys.

Well, if anybody cares, my prom sucked. Bad. Things started out great, good dinner, dance was going well, just having a good time. By the end of the dance, however, she just seemed disinterested, wasn't getting into the dancing as much, wasn't saying much, kind of staring off into space in all directions (I got real used to seeing the side of her face, rather than the front). I kept trying to spark conversation, and give the dancing a break and do other things for awhile, nothing seemed to work. It was enough that the other people in my group noticed and were wondering what was up. My best friend whispered to me at one point (without me saying anything to him in the first place) "It's like she's trying to not have a good time," and another friend agreed.
SO, we all change, head to post prom. For those who don't know, post prom is held at the school following prom (duh). THey basically have a whole bunch of games and whatnot, mechanical bull, sumo suits, cow-milking contest, obstacle course, enter to win a car, etc. It's a really neat event. But alas, my date just didnt seem to want to do...anything. She seemed more interested in wandering around aimlessly, talking to random friends she came across, then in partaking in any games or activities. At one point when we were alone, I asked her what was wrong. I didn't really get an answer, I mean, she spoke words, but they didn't form cogent sentences that said anything. After she kept abandoning me, I finally gave up and hung out with some of my friends instead.
So we get back to the house we all were sleeping for the night at around 3:45 AM. Obviously we pretty much fell asleep right away. At this point I'm thinking that maybe she's just tired or not feeling well, and she'll sleep it off. In the morning we board the train for Chicago. In Chicago, it was painfully obvious (to everyone) how much she was avoiding me. She hardly spoke a word to me all day, only said something to me when I said something to her first, if even then. She didn't want to be next to me anywhere we went. I felt like the "third leg." We went to the Shedd Aquarium. By this time, things had gone from bad to worse to worse still. She ignored me more than ever, and just had a plain sour look on her face almost the entire time.
We reached a nice little apex of the trip when she lost her ticket admitting her into one of the shows at the Shedd. No big deal, we just had to back up stairs and show the receipt, they would give us another one. But she is like flipping out, tearing her purse apart trying to find it, swearing up a storm. Going back upstairs I just say "relax, it happens, people lose stuff." She barks at me "shut up." I just said "god, are you alright?" and she stops, turns to me and yells "do I look like I'm alright!?" She then apologized, but nonetheless, I mean....Jesus Christ.
At dinner that night (this is night two now), a awkward moment occurred when she went to the bathroom. We payed the check and we're trying to decide what to do next. I say to one of the guys "so what do you want to do now?" As she came up behind him, he said "stay the fvck away from [my date], that's for sure." I don't know for certain if she heard him or not, but I imagine she did.
Anyway, I could go into a million more details, but I've got a history project, and you get the point anyway. The only other things I want to point out is that for one, she and I have hung out a lot within the last couple months, so it's not like this was the first evening I'd spent with her. I've always thought she was cool as hell, she NEVER acted like that before! She's always been the sweetest, nicest person in the world. Second, for some reason, she only seemed to be short with me. She was fine gabbing with her female friends, but wanted nothing to do with me.
I know,it's just prom. It's no big deal. But what can I say, I'm pretty hurt, not to mention embarrassed. I'm just gonna leave it alone for the next couple days, but at some point I think she and I need to have a little talk.
Thanks for reading...
Oh GREAT as my prom comes up this friday I have THIS hanging over my head!!
Sorry to hear about that bro, actually homecoming was kinda like that for me, we were having fun, but I just wasn't into my date that much, and kinda insinuated that we were "just friends" but not flat out said anything, after that I may as well have gone alone lol.Women = evil
Maybe she saw an old boyfriend dancing with some other girl and that ticked her off?
Sounds quite odd if she's never been that b!tchy around you before.

Heh, yeah, she does have a pretty extensive "boy history" I guess you could say. Not slutty or sleeping around, I just mean she's had a number of relationships end poorly. But if that would be enough to set her off for a weekend, I think I'd be pissed.
