Prom problems please help?

I asked this girl to the prom and she said yes, I also told her that it is nothing more than a date and she was happy with that. (note. she broke up with an old close friend of mine like 2 weeks ago)

Now, one of her exs wants to take her and is being all pityfull, her friends are trying to convince her to go with the other guy.

She said she will take me because I asked first and she doesn't want anything serious to happen at the dance but I want to ensure that she will take me because Im afraid that she will take the other guy. How can I convince her to take me rather than the other guy?

Please give more suggestions than just talking to her but if you have something special to say just tell me.

    My question to you is, why would you want to go to the dance with someone who doesn't want to go with you? Doesn't sound like it's going to go well. Since you don't seem to have any real feelings for her, I would suggest you let her "off the hook" and let her go with the other guy. She does get points for honoring her commitment to you but there's no guarantee she won't spend most of the night with the other guy any way. Then find another girl you can ask - someone you can have fun with and not be so "worried" about.

    She already said she would go with you. You have to trust her word and just leave it alone.

    If she changes her mind, let her. The last thing you want to do is be at the prom with a girl who would really rather be with someone else.

    If she is wishy washy about this, it is not up to YOU to convince her of anything. Let her decide what she wants on her own, without persuading her of anything.

    yeah sorry i would say talk to her, but also talk to him. sorry i can't give you any more advice than that

    good luck!

    p.s. oh yeah, talk to her friends and ask them to lay off a bit, and be a bit understanding of your feelings!

    if this doesn't work then i am so sorry! x
