Technically, I already did this. Asked her to prom last year and she said yes. Problem is, I think she wanted to go as friends, although she never went out and said it. I thought it would be just a little more than that.
I think I held her too close during the slow dances or something, because at the end of it all she seemed just a little freaked out.
At post-prom, she went off and did her thing, and left me alone with my retarded friends. Then she and her mom, of all people, drove me home. How degrading. I don’t think I even told her good night. Looking back on it, I feel really bad about it.
I’ve tried to get over my crush on her, I really have. Problem is, she’s just too sweet. She’s mildly attractive – I mean not stunningly beautiful, but good-looking nonetheless. And she’s honestly the nicest girl I’ve ever met – always eager to help out, always has a kind word ready. She’s never had a boyfriend and the only time she’s been asked out is by me…
I’m at a loss. I honestly think I ruined any chance I may have had with her via that fatal mistake of asking her to the junior prom. I don’t think I can get over her anytime soon. I’d like to go to senior prom, but I can’t envision going with anyone but her, because I’d like for it to be a night to remember. But it doesn’t seem like there’s any chance of that happening.
Sadly, this goal has come and gone once already. I’d like to ask her out again but I don’t think it would be a smart thing to do. Maybe not the prom, just a movie or something? But even that seems too far-fetched. I’ll keep myself posted.
