So I am going to prom with this girl and she just calls me and says my Mom does not want me to go to prom because she does not trust boys and on the night of the prom she need to go to some Hispanic thing. The reason her Mom does not trust boys is because her last boy friend beat her up and was very abusive towards her. She says she still wants to chill on prom night with me. But I have another girl that wants to go to the prom with me. I dont know what I should do.
go to prom....you'll never forget it... chill with that girl another time. you'll regret missing your prom for the rest of your life.
Tough question RBT, did you catch any vibes beforehand that your first choice may not want to go to the prom with you?
If you like this girl, make an effort to get to know her mom a bit, even if it's just saying "hi" and exchanging small talk. If the mom still has a problem with it, hang out with this girl instead of dumping her for another date. In the long run, going to the prom will mean nothing to you, but if you really like this girl, you'll be happy that you spent the night hanging out with her. I'm not sure why the mom won't let you go to the prom but she'll let you guys hang out. Maybe suggest that she drives the two of you there just to ease her mind?
No because it was like she did every thing but ask. She we were walking in the hallway and she was like so I don't have a date for prom and I said ok not paying any attention. Then she kept being like are you going to prom and I said no. Then her friend would come up to me and said you should really as Debra ( that is her name) to prom so I did.
That is what I said. She said that might work. But I think this guy that abused her really got in the Moms head.
You want to impress that girl and her mom? Bring the prom to her. Bring your tux, some music, some balloons, corsage, and a camera. Tell them both that going to the prom without her was meaningless to you, and you felt bad she had to miss it. Even rent a limo to take you guys out to eat then back to the house first. The mom will trust you forever and the girl will swoon.
Just present yourself as a really nice guy. I'm sure if you dress well, talk softly, and look clean she'll change her mind.
First of all, its a great idea. Second of all, cause *****es who are to said to get a date to go to prom voted for the other guy Rat bastards, the lot of ya'!!!!!! Seriously, you'd be the hero of that house if you pulled that off.
Naaa I voted for you. I was the first on to vote. So I know I voted for you. I am think about your idea
I hate to bring it up, but it could be a financial issue... With her not being able to go to the prom with you, but she can and still wants to hang out with you after Prom thats what it says to me. As a guy I have no clue how much prom dresses cost, but I think $100.00 is the minimum you can find one for and $200-$300 is average. With the economy in the dumps that could be the reason.
i'd go with the other girl. hope your first choice understands and then hang out with first choice on another day.
its times like this I say wwld or what would lucky do, in which case I remember I'm alone and would never have this problem............. talk to the girl see if she minds sharing you??
I'm married to a Latin gal, and they are very particular about a man being decent, so to speak. I can't explain how I passed the test, but in any case, come off as a complete gentleman, address Mom properly, hide the lust in your eyes when she's around and try to establish a rapport that will make her feel at ease with you. I've been married for 5 years and my Mom in Law still tries to cockblock me, so it's not easy, but it can be done.
Chill with the girl. Prom is over-rated and stupid. The after parties that night and over the weekend is what makes prom great. The actual prom dance itself is ******ed.
You're just mad you couldn't find a date because no one wanted to go to prom with a freakin' Jets fan.... Be sure to go to your prom at least once, bro. You can listen to others' opinions on how it sucks, but just go once so you can form your own opinion.
Holy crap, I wish you were my friend in high school. Or college, for that matter. That's a fantastic idea. RBT, go with that. And don't go with the "I'll pay for your dress" thing; it will just embarrass the girl if money is an issue.
If you don't wear a tux, at least wear a nice looking suit. The girl and her mom will be extremely impressed that you took the time and effort to look nice, instead of showing up in your Jake Long jersey and sweatpants.
