Search Results: high school prom

Girl #1: A good friend of yours had been talking about this girl he's liked since middle school. He's made numerous attempts to ask her to prom (including a wall sized chalk mural, guitar serenading, flowers & chocolate etc). She finally says yes. You & your girlfriend of 5 months meet her for the time. She is a 5'5" Filipino girl. 100lbs, very skinny (subtle curves, A-Cup, small butt), pretty face. After prom you, your girlfriend & friends go to her house. There, you discover she has multiple tiny pet chow-chows, does not play video games or likes sports, & prefers to stay at her large house w/family instead of go out, she has a high end fashion sense & a lot of money so she can buy you things. She is very nice & innocent looking w/a nice smile. (CONS:) She does not like dancing. Se went to prom w/the guy who loves her only so she could see which of his friends were single & soon became one's girlfriend. Throughout the relationship she would brag to the guy who loves her how great her boyfriend is. This creates a riff between your friends who do not like her. When they brokeup, she looked to him & your girlfriend for comfort. They both agree to help her & she ends up using him once again until he finally cracks & breaks their friendship. You tell your girlfriend "she's fake. I don't think we can trust her. Don't talk to her, she's trouble." When you did hang out with her, your girlfriend, her and your friend you discover she has very bad trust issues, is terrified of just about everything, nosey, spoiled, whinny/annoying & bitchy. She also is very argumentative. You also discover you have very little to nothing in common.

Girl #2: You met when she transferred to your school 4yrs ago. She was dating a guy in your class who you knew abused her & you were dating a girl already. You admired her from afar & she did the same. She is 5'3", Japanese and Filipino, 127lbs (very noticeable curves, D-cup and good sized butt)Your girlfriend makes you miserable & you leave her. After being friends for years you see she is nice everyone but isn't afraid to tell someone her opinion, she wears whatever is comfortable but nice, likes being w/friends & you, & always listens to you. You trust each other with everything. She loves video games (she plays mw3/Dead Island w/you & your friends every night) she loves to dance & have fun, loves cars, guns & sports, has a more wild/feisty personality, but is very loving & sweet. When together you watch horror movies left & right, shoot your air soft gun at cans in the backyard or play-wrestle. She loves cooking for you & making you happy & gets along very well with your friends and family.(CONS) She sometimes feels insecure because of her abusive ex but takes therapy. She has problems w/girls at her new school & vents to you sometimes. At times she can get overly affectionate. Sometimes she's jealous/suspicious about someone if they have your attention (except family). And out of habit, she randomly asks everyone who they are texting.

As a teenager, I have a pretty good handle on teen mentality (in my opinion). However, there's this one young man that I know that I simply cannot comprehend, for the life of me.

He practically flirts with anything that moves, short of those within a four year range above and below himself (for reference, we're both seventeen). I don't particularly have a problem with this, it's just a bit distasteful to always have to witness it in public. So he's popular. Whatever. Let's move on.

We're both in the same boat. We don't have dates to Winter Ball and Senior Prom. Now, I was planning on going stag and saving money and going stag, but I've been getting that "parental push" to take a date. Frankly, it's this guy or one of the awkward kids I partially grew up with, the remaining of which would rather not be my date. It's a bit of a combination between the fact that they're apathetic towards me and they're just aloof boys in general. Second push: I'm in student council and am strongly encouraged to bring a date.

PROBLEMS:

1) Winter Ball Ticket is cheap compared to the heartbreaking price of $90/person for senior prom.

2) We're acquaintance-teammates. If you go by Facebook, he also liked one of my teammates (year younger), making some pretty visible advances a couple months ago. Both involved teammates are still single.

3) I mentioned he's pretty popular. This is another problem. He's got a loud mouth, with the potential to be vulgar. I would probably be harassed about this for the rest of my natural life in high school, but I don't really care, nor do I like or care about my classmates who would bring up something like that. High school drama's not my thing, so my first two problems are probably more important.

This all essentially boils down to, should I ask this guy to Winter Ball/Senior Prom? We're not on negative terms, but we're not really friends. This is because being "friends" (with me as a female) means falling prey to his masculine charms, in addition to his stupidity. I have a brain and I won't swoon over this guy. I think that he's a nice guy for the most part, as I've witnessed in his better moments, and I'd like to be his friend eventually (when he matures). He's a superficial guy, but it doesn't mean he's rotten.

Also, when should I ask? I heard that he was still available for both Winter Ball and Senior Prom for the first time, yesterday. He was talking about his own high school, though.
