Caspar898 Posted June 8, 2016 Posted June 8, 2016 Hey guys, I'm a junior at a french high school in Los Angeles, and my school is having Prom this Sunday. I asked a friend of mine if she wanted to go with me, and she answered: "Yes... but only as friends". Now, I have two problems: The first one is that I don't know how to behave with "just a friend" at Prom. Is it okay to pick her up at her house and drive her there? Is it okay to put my arm around her waist? How should I greet her? And so on... I have no idea... The second one is the bigger problem. I've liked her for four years now, and I've even asked her out a couple of times (last one was about a year and a half ago), but I got rejected both times: "I only like you as a friend" was what she said. We have gone to a couple of school dances together and danced, but it was never supposed to mean much. Since I'm going to a different country during the summer, prom is my last chance to win her over. Now, my questions are: Do I still have a realistic chance at winning her over after she saw me as "just a friend"? And most importantly, what should I do to win her over (if I still have a chance)? I really like her a lot and since this is my last chance, I'm willing to give it my all. Help is greatly appreciated. It would mean a lot to me Thank you, Caspar898
Alamo657 Posted June 8, 2016 Posted June 8, 2016 I'm sorry but you need a reality check. This girl is not interested in being your GF at all, ever, she even told you straight several times. Persistance doesn't win women's heart, it creeps them out and annoy them, we're not in a hollywood movie.
Author Caspar898 Posted June 8, 2016 Author Posted June 8, 2016 Ok, thank you, that's what I needed to know. But since I'm still going to prom with her, as a friend, is it still ok for me to pick her up at her house? Or to put my hand on her waist? What are the limits I shouldn't be breaching?
DreamP Posted June 8, 2016 Posted June 8, 2016 You can pick her up, but no physical contact you wouldn't do with any other friend. Would you put your arm around the waist of another friend? You can ask her for a dance, but remember the physical contact rule. If you wouldn't do it with another female friend, you can't do it with her. The good thing about going just as friends is you don't have to hover around her attached at the hips. You come together and you leave together. Maybe a few dances together but besides that you can spend time with other friends including other girls you may be interested in. More than likely she will do the same and may even be eyeing another guy/person. It will be more fun if you plan to hang out with a bunch of other friends.
Author Caspar898 Posted June 8, 2016 Author Posted June 8, 2016 Ok thank you so much for your help Now I know pretty mich what to do... Thanks
smackie9 Posted June 8, 2016 Posted June 8, 2016 By all means dance with other girls and what not at the prom....Since you are "just friends" you don't need to be hovering around her because she is your date.
