This is a really long story, but it's been bothering me for quite a while, and I need to get everything off my chest.

So around a month ago, my friend "Mr. A" asked me if I was going to prom. I told him I didn't want to go because of the hassle of find a prom dress, getting a date, renting a limo, makeup, hair, etc. At that time, I really wasn't planning on going. But Mr. A said, "Come on, prom is the highlight of senior year! Everyone is going, and you're going to miss out." Trying to make an excuse i said, "There's no one that I want to go with." He then told me how he had a friend "Mr. X" who recently broke up with his girlfriend and was depressed over not having a prom date. Mr. A suggested that me and Mr. X go to prom together. Still trying to make an excuse, I said , "Oh, but I don't know him too well" and that was the end of our conversation.

So I had never talked to Mr. X before. Although he's in one of my classes, we never acknowledged each other. One day, the teacher organized us into groups of 6 to do a class project and presentation. Mr. X happened to be in my group, but all we talked about was the project. My first impression of him was, he's pretty nice. And I thought back to when I was talking to Mr. A about prom. But I pushed it idea out of my head, because I had just met Mr. X and I didn't think he was going to ask me to prom.

A few days later, I was walking to the train station to go home, when I bumped into a guy I knew who was with two other friends. One of them was Mr. X. I asked them where they were going to be polite and they told me they were going to eat and asked me to come along. Normally I would have declined, but I decided to go along with them. It was overall a good experience.

So.. at the same time I was talking to a guy from another class.. lets call him "Mr. G" We've known each other since freshman year and I consider us good but not close friends. He asked me if I was going to prom and after I told him i wasn't, he jokingly said , "I'll make you" I walk him to class sometimes and told him he should make me cookies for walking him. One day, he told me he made me cookies and when we went to his locker to get them, there were flowers, cookies, and a card inside. He asked me to go to prom with him. Truthfully, it was awkward and I didn't want to go with him. I gave him a hug and said, "aww that's so sweet" I wasn't sure what I was doing.

So when I walked into my next period class, Mr. X saw the flowers and everything. He turned to where I sat and asked in a surprised way, "you got asked to prom?" I told him what happened and that I wasn't sure if i wanted to go and if i did, if i wanted to go with Mr. G. After class, Mr. X pulled me aside and asked, "Can you wait one more day?" I asked him why and he said, "Just one more day. Can you wait?" I nodded my head.

I knew Mr. X was going to ask me. I honestly would prefer going with him than Mr. G, so I baked a sorry cake for Mr. G and gave it to him the next day. He didn't even look at me when I was apologizing and trying to talk to him. It made me upset, but I knew it was my fault. So I was walking to next period class on the verge of tears when I spotted Mr. X waiting outside the classroom for me. When he saw me coming, he hid a huge stuffed animal behind him (I Saw it of course) and asked me "should i ask?" When he saw i was crying, he asked me what was wrong. I told him and we hugged. He asked me if i still wanted to go to prom and showed me the stuffed animal. I said yes.

It turns out that another girl asked Mr. X to prom and he told her he was going with a girl from a different school, but he ended up asking me. Rumors started spreading around school too about how I said yes to Mr. G and then took back the yes and decided to go with Mr. X.

So now it's spring break. Mr. X and I went to eat and see a movie a few days ago (just the two of us) He said he "wanted to get to know his prom date better" We've been talking on Aim and on the phone every day. But I'm not sure if I like him. When I'm with him, I feel relaxed, but when he's not there, I miss him. I'm not sure what this feeling is. I talked to him about it and he said that he was unsure too. He told me that we should let things be the way they are and just see what happens. "If things happen, then they happen"

But I'm not sure if the only thing that's keeping us together is prom.

Any thoughts about my situation?

wow your life is even more complicated than mine...
firstly, this is not your fault, but your confusion over the whole prom situation has now resulted in Mr. G getting hurt.. if he was a good friend and technically did ask you first it's kind of a Richard move to not go with him. i would suggest patching things up with Mr. G but if it doesn't work then at least you tried.
as for Mr. X i feel like you might be starting to like him or whatever, but honestly there's only two more months of school left so even if you do start anything it'll end soon. i would suggest just stop questioning it and enjoy the time you guys spend together, have fun, live life. like you said, if it's meant to happen, then things will happen. as for now just look forward to prom like every other girl out there and make the last months of your senior year memorable

The only thought I have is that if you weren't saying yes to Mr. G, then you should've made it clear. I'm assuming you didn't flat out say "No", and he took it as a "Yes".

^ yeah...agreed.
but when Mr.X asked you to wait, I thought that was cute. I think that you're starting to have feelings for Mr.X, so just go with Mr.X to prom and have the time of your life. If you keep dwelling on what happened with Mr.G then you're just going to become even more confused. Life's short enough, live it.

[m1sh_glooor1a]

^ I agree :]
Definitely have the time of your life. It's not your fault.
Lucky girl. ^^
I have a few weeks to my prom, and I have absolutely no one to go with :[

Have fun with Mr. X
I hope everything goes as planned for you :]

Agree. That's one thing my guy friend dislike about girls, or so they say. Lol. Not being straight to the point so things get a bit messed up.
But have fun! Prom is one of the highlights & it's good that Mr. X is getting time to know you.
Me likey. And the part where he asked "Can you wait one more day?" and "Should I ask?" made me gush for some reason.
Have fun!

i'm thinking Mr.X likes you and possibly have some feelings for you. and yes, you should go to prom, it is one night you're never forget. and like mr.X says, just let it comes; be natural...if things work out then let it, if not then that's just how it is going to be. have fun.

[msupky]

Ah.... maybe you shouldn't have hugged Mr.G :| You know, it sends false signals. So... save those hugs!
Anyway, have fun with Mr.X I'm sure he likes you!

I think what most of the responses here forget is that Mr. X had just broken up with his girlfriend, and is saddened by the fact that he does not have a prom date. Just something to think about. It might not be anything big like a relationship resulting from prom...but it can be. Just have fun during Prom and don't take everything between you and him too seriously, 'cause after all, he had just gotten out of relationship.

Thanks for all the advice!! Here's an update of what happened.
I went to play pool today with Mr. X and another couple. It was pretty fun. Afterwards, he told me that he wanted to talk to me. So we went to the park and sat on one of those jungle gyms. We started off by playing tic tac toe. I really wasn't sure what he was going to say to me.. whether he wanted to say that we should just be friends or that he liked me. So these little children kept running around us and he kept getting cut off.
But then he started playing around with my hands... and he asked me what i wanted. I told him that I thought about what he said and that maybe we should just let things be. I asked him if that was what he wanted and he said, "But I want more than that" So we decided that we should give it a try.
Then.. he leaned towards me, and I thought he was going to give me a kiss, so I covered my face and shouted, "NO!" really loudly >.< And he said, "Ahh! I was trying to give you a hug"
