Prom

Don't go. Prom's a special night for the one you're truly interested in. By going to prom with your friend, you're cheating yourself and him out of a good night. Go to pride prom and let him go with his crush instead...it'll all be much better in the end.

You only get one, sometimes two. Don't fuck 'em up.

 

I think you should go to the Pride Prom. You seem to be way more interested in going to that than the regular high school prom.

I think you should write poetry or something, that will lead her to you. Like, a scavenger hunt almost. Like, start with a poem that directs her to a certain spot, then another, then another, at the end you should be standing there with flowers or something she likes and then you ask her. Flower prices are lower since it's not Valentinte's Day anymore. If you can't get that, get some chocolate or something else you know she really likes.

And if she does reject you, still go to Pride Prom. Who knows? You might meet a great girl there. But you won't know unless you put yourself out there.

I hope you have a great night (*hug*)

 

Is it one or the other? If so I definitely think you should go to the pride prom, and I wouldn't hesitate to ask this girl. Perhaps, you can bake a cake, launch baloons, serenade her at her front door, etc.

Where I live, we don't have anything like pride prom, but I have no problem with regular prom. Rarely do people go as a same-sex couple unfortuneately, so I almost certainly wouldn't. But I wouldn't hesitate going with a girl as a friend, it's all about having a good time.

 

Could you not just go to both? I can understand why you might not want to go to your junior prom since alot of people seem to think it is all about going with someone you fancy, and maybe it is in your area, I don't know if it is any different. But in the very least in my own area the vast majority of people who aren't with anyone seem to just go as friends, (hopefully) have a great time and say goodbye to those who they might not see again. Sort of just celebrating the five years we will have had together. But I suppose if you don't like many people at your school, or it's meant to be crummy, maybe not. It is completely your decision of cource, and if you feel too uncomfortable with the idea of going with a guy then perhaps you shouldn't go.

The LGBT Prom sounds great, especially if you know some people there so if you'd prefer it then go for it! I would love to go to one myself. As for asking your crush I would try being straight forward and just force yourself to break the question to her if you can't think up anything more tactical. Or you could try and be sweet and buy her a gift or make her something, just try and be yourself. My main point is, whatever you do have fun!

 

Ah I can see how you feel I am in a slightly similar situation (with the asking a girl out to prom).
Well as for your junior prom I don't think you should go with that guy, just because it will get people thinking 'is she really gay' and stuff like that. You could still go to prom but I wouldn't go with your guy friend - just saying.
I think you should try to ask the gay girl you know to the gay prom. "Forget the risk, take the fall, if it's meant to be, it's worth it all!"
Well I should be taking my own advice because I also know this gay girl..... but I'm too wimpy to do anything.
Good luck!

 

I'm not sure about which prom you should attend, but I did hear of a really cute way to ask someone...
Fill a room with balloons, inside of each balloon is a part of your request. As she pops the balloons, she slowly uncovers the message and has to put it in order. Maybe it could be part of an elaborate scavenger hunt? I dunno, just a suggestion...

 

I would recommend going to both proms. Prom at my school isn't really a huge deal, at least not to any of my friends. Tons of people just go with friends, that's what I did last year and I still had a blast. There is so much hype around prom and how it's a life changing night, but it really isn't, it's just a dinner and a dance. So just go with a bunch of friends and hang out for the night, I guarantee you that it'll be fun. Last year even one of my friends who was a sophomore wanted to go to prom, but didn't have a date, so another one my friends, who was a junior, went with her. So they went as a lesbian couple just so that she could go, it was really hilarious.

But definately go to the LGBT prom too, that sounds really interesting. And take the chance of asking the girl you like, she might surprise you.

 

Omigosh grrrl, you're right -- our situations are almost exactly the same. ;p You're so lucky there's a pride prom in your area, and if you can only do one or the other it sounds like you're more interested in that one anyway. Between tickets, a dress, dinner, etc. prom isn't exactly cheap and you should go to the one you're more excited about. As for asking her, is she out yet? That might limit how creative/public you can get with asking her out...
Best luck! (*hug*)
