Valentines day: I ask my co worker, Kate (we also go to the same school) to prom with half a dozen roses and a rice krispie with the words "Prom?" written on it. I asked at work in the changeroom. She cried and said no because someone else had asked her hours before in school THAT DAY. (I had bought the roses two days before and wanted to wait till valentines...) She later asked me out but for personal reasons at the time, I declined. I asked her out later but then personal issues came into play and I could not follow up. Then last week, I found out that she actually likes me and doesn't want to go to prom with the other guy because she only likes him as a friend...
I asked another girl who had said yes but then said no because after I asked her, the guy she wanted to go with had asked
I ask first, or second, i still end up with the short end of the stick...
1) I want to ask Kate to prom...but I've MAINLY decided to not do this because that would not be fair to the other guy...(unless you guys can tell me otherwise, I'm lost lol)
also if I'm asking another girl, Sarah to prom, (if kate falls through) what to do about these things:
2) who pays for prom tickets? (if its kate, I will because I like her alot and she likes me)
3) is it ok if I just ask with no gifts?
4) any advice on how I should approach this?
