Alright. First you should know that I'm the very romantic type and look forward to things like dressing up, going on dates, I want to go sit in a coffee shop with someone and have a nice conversation (too bad im only 14..haha)...and I just love the whole idea of being with someone and having them to talk to and lying under the stars together.... :>)... but I've never had a real boyfriend, almost all my friends are boys though.
alright enough about me. Here's my situation.
My friend, Jenna, has liked my friend Mike since 7th grade when she moved here. Now, Mike is my bestbestfriend. I am really fond of him, too, and was really hoping he'd ask me to homecoming...because it would be romantic/fun/etc. :>)
HOWEVER...Jenna and my friend Katrina are best friends, and Katrina said to me the other day, "you're close with mike, right?" and i said yes. Then she said "do you know who he likes/is planning to ask to homecoming?" and I said, "nope..." she said "I'm trying to help Jenna get him to ask her. We'll need your help too though, she reeeally wants to go with him."
but she barely talks to him and I almost am SURE he is going to ask me...but then if I said yes to him, Jenna would be mad at me, and if I said no, I would feel like I missed a great, fun chance. I know there will be more dances but you know, it's my first high school dance.....Im very excited. (remember, I said i over romanticize everything.. :-P)
So basically, I'm stuck. What should I do? I probably wouldn't have a hard time going with someone else cause someone's bound to ask me, like I said I have a lot of guy friends. but....what should I do? I really wanted to go with mike.
It almost feels like they're completely ignoring my feelings...but Katrina is very very nice, so I'm sure she's probably just oblivious...after all everyone does think of us as just friends so I wouldn't really expect them to think I wanted to go with him...I almost want to tell them but that would be really hard.
Thank you so much! I really appreciate it. Gosh, just writing that got me all excited. :>) but worried at the same time.
Thank you
:>)

So, if I was you, this is what I'd do. I would go straight to Mike and tell him how you feel. Just say that you know that Jenna wants to him to ask her to the dance, but also tell him that you were hoping he would ask you because you think it'd be a lot of fun to go together. Alert him that he has these two choices for the dance and then let him make the descision. After all, it is his choice and I'm sure he'll make the right one. I hope he asks you and everything works out for you! Good luck and have fun at the dance!! [ unstrungbeads's advice column | Ask unstrungbeads A Question ]
Cmilner1607 answered Sunday September 9 2007, 12:36 am: Well, wait it out first, and see who mike decides to ask. If he doesn't ask you or Jenna would you ask him yourself? I mean I know you said you and mike are close, but do you like him that much to ask him yourself? Ifnot then you probably should just let jenna have this one. & you said that some other guys bound to ask you.
Also, tell jenna& katrina that you feel for mike too. Explain that you're not being childish, your feelings are real, not jealousy. And see what they say. They are really nice you said. &if they are your girlfriends, then they should understand and not be mad at you.
And, if mike asks you, explain your dilema to him. He has a right to know that jenna is interested in him hon. :]
