Prom.

I have a dilemma. I need to find someone to go to prom with me. My mom won't let me go with a group of friends or alone.. and I'm on prom committee so I feel as though I'm obliged to go.

Anyways. I could either ask one of my guy friends.. we've talked about it a little, but haven't said anything about going together. Or, I could go with my best guy friend from another school...who has a girlfriend. He's my best friend and nothing more. He said he would go with me, but for some reason my mom thinks I'm trying to steal him from his girlfriend, just because I hang out with him..(I don't understand why she thinks I would do that..)

So what should I do? Should I ask this guy at my school, who I'm sure my mom wouldn't have a problem with, or my best friend, who my mom thinks I'm trying to steal from his girlfriend...

Help?
Thanks,
Krista

How far away does this friend (from another school) live and how does his girlfriend feel about him going with you to prom? If you're friends with the guy from your own school and if your other friends girlfriend isn't keen on the idea of him taking you to the prom, as silly as that may be especially if you're just friends (not exes), then going with your friend from your own school might be the more convenient choice.

I think going with the guy from your school would the easier choice.

But, it's really your choice who you really want to go with and who you would have a blast with :)

Personally, I'm going with my best friend. I think that should be what you do. (And why is it your mom's decision that you can't go alone or with a group? It seems that it a personal decision you need to make.)

Last year, my brother was a senior. his date was his girlfriend. and he found out some things a few days prior to prom that made them break-up. he acted as if it didn't really bother him much. but I knew he wanted to go, BADLY. since he had his tux already bought and he had been talking about how he wanted prom to be one of his last high school memories. I couldn't stand seeing him like this, so I went with him :D

me and him already get along, so of course we had a blast. at the end his friends wanted to go to an after-party. he wasn't really cool with his little sister hanging around a hotel where there would be drinking. so when we got home at 12:30, we made the whole family come out to eat with us lol.

basically, I agree with everyone else. .having a date to prom doesn't mean it has to be an actual date. otherwise, I would have dated my brother for a day :| . . go with someone you naturally have a good time with. no matter if it's a friend, family-member, someone you like. or a friend that is already dating someone.

I agree with everyone. I went to my senior prom with my twin and a group of friends. we all had a blast and I loved every minute of it. so good luck

Since you're friends with BOTH guys, does it really matter who you go with?

I'd still like to know how your one friends girlfriend feels about it, if you're friends with her too and doesn't mind or otherwise. I'm curious. I could have a lot to say on that topic.

Thanks to everyone for the replies! :)

My brother is out of the question, because he's 13 and in middle school..haha.

My friend at another school lives about 15 miles away. I'm friends with his gf, and I'm sure she wouldn't mind us going together. Dylan and I have been friends for 5 years.

I'm just worried about what my mom would say. For some reason, she thinks I'm trying to "steal" Dylan from his girlfriend, which I've told her numerous times i'm not trying to do that.. We're just good friends..
Dylan already said he would go with me.. I'm just worried about what my mom would say.

Question? wouldn't your mom rather for you to go with someone you could have a blast with or go by yourself and be lonely through out a night that is suppose to be a fun and memorable night?

I think that she should meet Dylan and his gf and they both tell her that you are not trying to 'steal" Dylan. Thats what I would do. Just to ease your mind because prom is a imporant event in your high school career.

^ Agree. Does your mom know that you're friends with his girlfriend as well and that she's okay with it?

Yeah, my mom knows this. She just doesn't get it, I guess. I've told her numerous times that Dylan is just my friend, and that's all he ever will be, but she still thinks I'm trying to steal him. I'm friends with his gf. We've hung out once or twice, and I text her occasionally. She knows Dylan and I are just friends.

Also, I've never tried to "steal" a guy from his girlfriend before. I would never do that. I don't get why my mom thinks I will. I'm a nice person. :/

Prom is odd, ive never been lol

Just a quick update for all of you who gave me advice..

Prom is this friday, and I am going with my best friend, Dylan. He broke up with his girlfriend about 3 weeks ago, for personal reasons, [not involving me.] My mom's okay with it and everything. He actually said he would go with me, and now we're going to prom this friday together. =]

Thanks for all the advice!!

Hope you have fun and every things goes well! :)

Go with the person you want to go with, it doesnt matter what your mum thinks, and it if it the guy from another school, then so be it. You know that you guys are only friends and you know that you are not trying to steal him away, your mum will see it soon too!
