There's a girl I like that I plan to ask to prom, which is on May 6. The thing is, I asked her last year, and she said she couldn't because her mom wasn't letting her that year (according to a friend of mine who talked to her afterwards, she would've gone with me if her mom had let her). However, nearly all my friends are saying I should ask her again, as I want to. But for some reason, a few of my friends are telling me not to do that. They won't give a reason why, they're simply telling me not to ask her. I really want to, but should I still do it, despite these setbacks?
Easy, ask your friends why their warning you, if they don't comply, Hadoken their faces off. But really ask them whats up with the red flags, then go from there.
Well it is easy to say "your friends are jerks and want to go with that girl" and it could very well be the case... but they might have a very good reason (in their minds) that doesn't involve them liking her.... so ask them why they think that way and if you don't get a straight answer just forget them and ask her.

I did talk to an idiot friend of mine about this opposition. He claims that I would "look pathetic" if I asked her again and got rejected like last year, and that the effort would've all been for nothing. I then explained to him that I didn't regret asking her last year despite getting rejected, because if I didn't ask her I would've constantly been asking myself "What if...?" all the time and I would never actually know for sure. He then brushed my response off as stupid and repeated his initial claim that I shouldn't ask her to prom. So yeah, that's what I'm dealing with.

I think you should. If it was a year ago, her mom might've changed her mind on letting her go. Besides, she said she would've gone with you if her mom let her.. that's a plus. I wouldn't tell your friends that you're going to ask her though, that way if you do get rejected they won't know and save yourself some embarassment.

You have a point there. My mom said she could talk to her mom and convince her to work something out (they're close friends) in letting her daughter go to prom with me. Maybe that's my ticket.

Ok so you figured out the problem. So go ask the girl out, your friends opinion should have no bearing on your reaction, and maybe Hadoken him in the face anyway.
I forgot how much pointless drama there was in highschool. If you want to ask her, then just ask her. Screw what your freinds say, make your own decisions.
LOL the EXACT same thing happened to me when I was in high school. I asked this girl a year younger than me to go to prom (my senior year) and her mom wouldn't let her go. So then the following year SHE ASKED ME to go with her to prom (I couldn't have asked her since I graduated). And she asked me in like September (prom was in April). I bet she really wants to go with you, so just ask her.

And do tell me, wouldn't this happen this year if you don't invite her?
Only if you're not going be pissed at her if she rejects you and then asks for help with a project.

i forgot to mention that the two didnt ******* know each other. I think that's mainly the reason i got pissed. She would rather go with a guy she has never even met before but has only seen him on facebook, rather than a close friend who has helped her get through highschool. and then she goes and asks for help the day after i get rejected. is there any sympathy in that? try not to be a douche next time.
I have the opposite problem. This girl wants me to ask her to prom, and I don't want to go (not into school dances at all, nor do I like crowds.) All my friends are bugging me.. sometimes I feel like yelling out "PEER PRESSURE! I NEED AN ADULT!"
