Petty and stupid complaint. I know.
Today my friends decided it was okay to gang up on me and try and shove cupids arrow down my throat.
I was asked to prom "as friends" by a boy I barely knew.
He shows up with presents and apparently told everyone before he asked me, so how could I say no. It was just as friends after all right?
I wasn't even planning on going to prom. I didn't even want too. No matter, masquerades are always fun.
I have no problem with dances, prom, or going with this boy as friends.
Though, when my friends decided "oh! I can put these two together as a couple", because they automatically assume that somehow they would be doing me some sort of justice. Like I was some hermit in a cave that was craving any kind of love I could grasp my little grimy hands on.
Pffft. Please.
I am doing fine on my own. I don't need a guy. I don't want one. It's messy, they hurt, and I have more important things to focus on, like graduating with a 4.0, going to university, getting all assets I need to make sure I have a good life.
After I refuse to take there offer up on having him as a mate.
They automatically think I am a shallow being, make me sounds like I am unsympathetic and apathetic towards others feelings, which is far from who I truly am. I have a preference, and I know what I like, not from ideals but from actually trying everything on my plate and deciding which I like best and what is my favorite. Is that so wrong to know what you like? To decerning? Is this the kind of friends I have after two years of friendship? Do they really not know me that well?
In anycase, they have been hounding me on how idioticly stupid I am to not get what his point and their points were this whole night. Honestly now, is there life really that boring that they must make total chaos of my content lively hood?
All it really boils down to is, Yes this boy fancy’s me. I do not return the favor. I’m sorry but there is nothing I can do about my feelings. Aren’t they suppose to be on my side?
Shit.
When friends poke at this, like a picking at a dead bone. It turns into anger and then hatred. I find it actually quite amusing they find me so, disgustingly gullible. I spell it out plain and simple and yes blunt. I don’t wish to sugar coat anything, that just bites you in the butt three times as hard. They are obviously not getting my simple english. So I have to explain it in a way they can get it.
I don’t care.
They ticked me the fuck off.
So, I don’t care. You can think what ever you may wish, or say what ever you may want. Still, it does not change my perspective or my aspirations of who I like or what my “type” is, even if such things exist.
My only question. What should I do about rumors? Leave them be? I really don’t care about that. My true question is, Should I still go to prom after all this, or not. Don’t care either way, it’s just a stupid dance.

whoa...

If you don't want to go, then don't go. I would suggest shooting this down as brutally as you can. I made the mistake of not doing this last year (although with homecoming). This guy practically stalked me until I got my brother to scare him off.

Tell this guy in the most direct way possible "I don't like you. Stop asking me to this dumb ass dance." Tell your friends that this will not happen in a million years. Tell them you don't give a fuck about prom or this guy or what they want you to do. When you hear rumors just ignore them, denying them often makes people think they're true. However, if they get out of hand you can make a huge announcement of "Shut the fuck up, you're all wrong". It's annoying as hell (I had to make one of these in eighth grade) but people leave you alone.

I have a similar situation where my friends didn't know me at all and they just assume that I'm just another useless friend. My friends treat me like crap... I'm asian and they only used me as a halloween decoration.

I think what you should do is make new friends. I've been doing that for a few months and it's working. :l

Dang...But I have to say, good job stating your feelings.

But prom=senior right? So don't go, you only have a month left of school anyway. It's not like the same friends you have now are going to the exact same college as you (I'm sorry if I sound kind of cold but that's just my opinion)

>>6 Also the Junior prom to consider you know. I had one.d one.

>>7 oh right, there's that...Hmm.. well I still say go with your heart. Or, you could just make up an excuse not to go (yes its lame, but best I could think of at the moment)

>>2 Teehee x3 uhm did I scare you? I'm not mean!~ I promise xDD

>>3 I wish it were that easy. :/ I mean I love parties as well but not at this cost, y'know. You are so lucky you have a brother T.T And I WILL TELL THEM EXACTLY AS YOU SAID xD because that's fucking genius.

>>4 No it's not, I prefer being straight forward...if I didn't overstate that above xDD And yeah trust me, I know I need knew friends but everything takes time and there really aren't that many great people where I live. You either have the people who smoke pot (which is a no for me) or the preppy people who think they are popular for being annoying and boast about every little thing they have when it really means that they are trying to achieve something which they don't have and cannot get otherwise (which is practically my whole school O.o)and the friends I have now...>.>;

>>7 & >>8 Yeah It's my Junior prom; That's why I didn't really care who I went with or if I went at all. :/ But I guess this has taught be to be more discerning~
