alrighty... me and this boy have been talking for a while now. he is really cool and sweet. but he has a girlfriend. and last week he tells me that we can't flirt or write notes anymore and i'm like okay?. well the next day he was back flirting with me like nothing happened.. i didnt understand. he comes up to me and gives me hugs and stuff. and when i was sitting down he comes up to me and i said what do you want and he goes you. he was dead serious. but again he has a girlfriend. and we have a dance comming up and he really really wants to go but the prinicple wont let him. and if he was to go he said he would go with me. but again he has a girlfriend. when i was talking to my friend about him (she is friends with his girlfriend) she said that they broke up? i was like WHAT?? then she asked me if they hooked back up? it is really confusing.. please help me. try to make it long. because it is really confusing!
Okay, there are a number of things you need to sort out here.
Firstly, you need to have a real chat with him and find out what his status is with this girlfriend. Are they on or are they off? If they are on, you really shouldn't get involved because that may only serve to make the situation worse. You also need to tell him to stop giving you mixed signals. If he wants to be with you and not his girlfriend, he shouldn't be with his girlfriend in the first place, as clearly he is not fulfilled in that relationship. If he wants to be with his girlfriend, then he needs to start showing her some respect and stop flirting with you (and unfortunately, there are possibly other girls involved here too).
On the other hand, if they are not together any more, you need to ask him why he was telling you they were a couple. Is he afraid to commit? Or was he just playing you? Either way, lying doesn't really make for a good prospective boyfriend.
When you've sorted this out, you need to decide whether he's worth your time in the first place. This guy may well have a girlfriend and yet see's no problems hitting on another girl. Would you really want to be the girlfriend in this scenario? Also, I'm interested as to why your Principal won't allow him to attend your school dance.
Whatever you do decide to do, you need to bear in mind that although his advances may be appealing and the attention is nice and you clearly like him a lot, he may not be worth the effort. You deserve to be treated like the wonderful person you are and you deserve respect. If he's not the sort of guy who can give you that then you may well be better off with someone else.

maybe he doesnt have a girlfriend anymore maybe they still are broken up and u heard different. if u really like him and the princliple wont let him go to the dance i would skip the dance and go hang out somewhere with him, it would be a sweet thing to do. i think you should find out if he has a girlfriend tho because if he does than it would be wierd for you, so maybe you should ask him
i hope i sorta helped?
