“My boyfriend is being a jerk about prom”

3 Comments

My boyfriend and I have been dating for 7 months. We were good friends when he was in high school, but never dated. Now he is in college 5 hours away, and I’m still in high school and we are happily in love.

However we are having a situation over prom. My boyfriend hates prom. With a passion. He thinks of it as an excuse for boys to have sex and get drunk and girls to be sluts. I think this is a ridiculous stereotype. I can’t even mention the word prom without him getting mad. He keeps making comments saying that he is going to be a jerk the night of prom.

It’s not fair for him to ruin my high school experience. I love him and see a future with him so I don’t want this little hang up to ruin us, but it hurts my heart.

My crush shows interest but says no

I told my crush a month ago that I have feelings for him. He said he did too but didn’t want to act on it because he’s leaving for a different state in 2 months (I’m trying to omit some personal details). We’ve hung out alone at his house three times since then. Each time we cuddled and held hands and flirted with one another. He texts me multiple times every day. We’ve been on spring break for the past week and a half, but in school he would get nervous around me.
I kind of figured that he still likes me to some extent so I asked him to prom. He said he wasn’t sure who he wanted to go with and kind of dodged the question (this was over text).
I find that so confusing because I don’t know anyone else he’d ditch me for- if it were anyone else it would have to be someone he really wants a relationship with and I believe him when he says he doesn’t want a relationship with anyone at this point.

I don’t really know what to do… should I ask him about prom again like a month later? Do you think he’s just worried if we went to prom together we’d be an “item”? Was it just a polite way of saying he’s not interested? Should I just pretend I never asked?
