Question Posted Tuesday September 11 2007, 5:09 pm
Today was my second day at my new high school. Everyone else has already been there two weeks. My homeroom teacher had a volunteer show me where my locker is. He was so cute and nice and geeky; like 5”, freckles, mousy brown hair (lets call him “Tom”).
Later during lunch, my buddy asked me if I was going to homecoming; I said I don’t know.... She exclaimed, “I’ll fix that!” And despite my protests she went off in search of a date for me. After lunch, this guy walked up to me and asked if I would go to homecoming with his friend. He pointed out the guy, and then I realized it was “Tom” and he was staring at his feet.
I said I’d get back to him tomorrow about that, I have no clue what I should say! HELP!
I'm sure he'll introduce you to some new people, you'll boost his self-esteem, and I'm sure you'll have a wonderful time with a date. You said you thought he was cute, he was obviously nice when he showed you are, and clearly he has a thing for you. Go for it and I'm sure you'll be glad you did.

You don't have to dance with him all night, just a few dances. You should carpool a limo with your friends to feel more comfortable. If you do decide to go with him, you can "officially" go with someone else in your carpool or meet up with them. Explain your situation to them kindly and ask them to be nice. If you really don't want to go with him, find a girl that doesn't have a date and introduce them to each other. You'd be doing them both a big favor. Good luck!

Talk to "Tom", not his friends (you can get mixed messages that way)If he really wants to go with you then what do you have to lose? If you feel uncomfortable go with some friends "group date".
Good luck. Hope you have fun! [ sasi721's advice column | Ask sasi721 A Question ]

Going to homecoming doesn't mean your automatically married to him. It would be a great way to get to know the kids in your grade better if you went to homecoming! Good luck!
