Did he like you or was he just messing with your mind?
He asked another girl out to prom. How to deal with this problem?

Did he like you or was he just messing with your mind?
I think the guy does like you, but he may be insecure about something and that's why he didn't ask you. He was most likely afraid of something, maybe he thought you weren't into him. No matter, because you can't control or predict what he was or is thinking, you can only control how you react to his actions. He's going to prom with someone else, you should forget about him and focus on you, try and get to know some other guys and you will be better off. Just remember that everything happens for a reason, and this may be a good opportunity for you to find out there is someone else that you'll end up liking a lot more that likes you and isn't afraid to show you. Also, it's really early in the school year, why are people looking ahead to prom already?
I think most guys just like oppurtunitys. They don't like the idea of closing doors. So... They'd flirt and flirt and flirt, just in case something happened with the other girl tht made it impossible for her to go, then he'd ask you, but he wouldn't want you to think you're a last resort. However... Not all guys intentions are as pure. I know, I used to have problems like that. I wouldn't ever talk about my girlfriend with girls I thought of as "potential" I'd feel like letting them know would close the door to a possible future with that girl... I've found the right girl and I've gotten over it. But... that's one possible idea.
Shortest way to put it, he's just not that into you AND he's a lying, cheating bastard. In this situation I suggest getting one hell of a dress, dabbing on a bit of perfume and makeup, and dragging your hottest male friend to prom. Worst case scenario, it ends up boring and you can ditch with your friend to hang out. Best case scenario, your boy realizes he was being an idiot and this was his last chance to do something significant in high school, but blew it. Either way, don't let him play you. Prom is the end of high school drama and the beginning of college parties ;)

Maybe he asked her way before he started to like you, or she is a good friend and their planned to go together. Can't really tell from what you just said, I personally think your looking to deeply into this, just keep talking and show your interest and if he likes you he will do the same and most likely ask you to hangout/ go on a date.
