My boyfriend want’s me to go to prom with him. - Help.com

My boyfriend want’s me to go to prom with him.

But, im older than him. Im 19 and he is 17. so im not in highschool anymore. I never even went to his school. We live kind of far away too, like i have to take a plane to go see him. But i don’t really want to go to prom with him. I just dont want to fly there and have to get a dress and everything. I wouldn’t even mind if he went with another girl. But when i told him he got so upset and started to cry! But he still thinks im going to go with him! How do i get the point across that i don’t want to and im not going to.

Be forward. Tell him you are’nt going with him and he needs to find a date if he doesnt want to be dateless. Tell him you havent bought a plane ticket, you arent buying a plane ticket, and you wont buy a plane ticket.

Tell him not to go, and to be a REAL manm saveing the money to come visit you instead.

Oh, i forgot, im banned from being blunt.

Tell him that….. Ninjas stole you pet dog and you have to go to.. Scotland to rescue him, or international druglords will.. er… take over the UK with their lazer bears and stuff. So its not really your fault but a national duty that calls you to do so, and you will send him a postcard when the world is saved.

If he cried when you said no i doubt he will dump you. You still need to be forward though. Maybe not those words, but you need to be forward and not feel guilty. Its not right of him to think you’re going after you’ve said no. You need to be honest and strict. And its very likely it will sound harsh, but you need to do it.

First off make sure that he is actually doing that. I’ve known people who are all “i cut my self, im going to kill my self, you broke my heart so i cut your initial in my hand so you’ll always be with me blah blah blah”

He might just want the attention and the ability to know you worry. If he cried about you not going to prom with him, i dont think he could take the sting of a blade cutting into his skin.

And if he really is, tell him you are dating him so it is your business. Write him an email about what ever you want to say to him. He will read it. Guaranty.

Presure him about it till you break him down and you talk about it together.

I think you both have a lot to work out. Dating someone for that long, they would have opened up to you. And you wouldnt need to be having to deal with them not talking to you about the cutting. It might take a little work, but they should be able to tell you. Just keep asking him about it.

I get the feeling that you’re the type that would let him beat you just because he says he loves you.

This kid has problems. And you arent helping by sitting on ur @$$ and asking people about it. You need to tell him he needs help.
