Who the hell does something like that?

[Sennz0r]

so, wait, she wasn't ready by the time he got there even after he was delayed? Am i the only one who sort of sees sense here? i mean maybe he didn't want to be later to the prom than he was already. admittedly this is an overreaction, but i see his point

No actually I'm just telling it like it is, he would be there at eight but he called to say he had some trouble with his parents (probably driving them, you can't drive yourself here since 18 is legal driving age) but said he would try to be there in time. So he wasn't too late already it was just preliminary. I know putting that in might make the whole ordeal confusing but it's better than cutting corners and leaving potentially important stuff out of the story.

. Now she took hours to get ready, and so help me whatever deity you favour she looked beuatiful.

How beautiful exactly, because if she's really purdy, I'd suggest you give it a shot.
And to not sound totally shallow, I presume she's nice too, since you are friends.

I'm not really going for a relationship with this girl, but if I was she was definitely worth a shot.
Yes, she's really nice, but a bit of a pushover sometimes.

I had asked my friends sister to prom right, and he just goes apeshit "its my prom! i dont want my sister there!", but things have there way of working themselves out because i went with a much hotter girl, hotter than his girlfriend to.

You know, I have a strange feeling we aren't getting the full story. Did something happen before hand to them?

Whatever you do, don't be the rebound guy.

Other than that, be a friend and make her feel like nothing has changed between you two.

This is a potentially ridiculously easy way of getting a girl-friend. It's not definite, but you could try it.

I don't think it'll work. I'm "just a good friend".

That's how it starts. Then she starts to feel lonely for the good parts of the old relationship and looks for someone to make her feel that way again. In comes the rebound guy, then when she realizes what she really wants, it makes letting the rebound guy go difficult. I guess if all you want is a fling with her, go for it, but if you really want a legit chance with her, give it some time.

Ah, teenage drama... trust me, ten years from now this won't seem so tragic....

Well just like every relationship that lasts over a year they both developed pet peeves and have had a couple 'fights' if that's what you want to call it (honestly I have no idea how many and about what I'm not that close to her). So yeah either he had one of his usual tantrums squared or it just became too much. All I know before prom they haven't had any of these fights.
I apologise for not putting that in. I realise now that it might a very important factor.

Still, even if you want to break up you don't put your girlfriend on the bus from prom. It's unheard of. If you meant to break up before prom came around you should break up a reasonable time before prom. Not during, not after, not 20 minutes before.

When I got into a fight with my friend since I was irritated my mind would make any argument to justify that anger. Maybe he was on edge and thought that her taking extra time with her hair was just her trying to get out of going.

I have no idea I just think it might be a possibility, since according to you he tried talking to her after that so his anger probably didn't have to do with wanting to break up with her.

I'm not sure either. They were both really psyched to go and they knew that about each other so unless he's that paranoid I don't know if he had seen it as a sign of trying to bail.
Overall he's quite a control freak when it comes to her and things don't go his way because of her then well... Let's just say if he screws up, it's no big deal but if she does, it's her not caring enough for him and their relationship.

I am going to say that he is insecure about the relationship, it seems like he thinks that she would do anything to end the relationship. Just saying, I don't know he might just be an ass.

Ah, proms, one of the things I gladly won't experience =w= Along with partying in general, god I hate that crap <.<

Yes, most common people, I hate your crappy parties, no matter how much alcohol or money you pour into it! Luckily we don't have proms like that here in teeny Norway, we have something we call Christmas Ball, around Christmas, obviously, and even out of the... six, I think, possible ones I could have gone to, I went to one, ever, and by god I think I was one of three people who were sober the entire time! XD
I even saw one friend of mine fight himself past some chairs to find one particulary good one to... sleep on... he also ate a burning candle...


Alright sorry, I was off-topic for a moment, I still think proms suck though, but yeah, I wouldn't leave my girlfriend like that in that situation. I mean I'd prolly be a bit annoyed by the delay, sure, but.. I wouldn't erupt like a volcano over something like that...

At my schools version of the prom some girl arrived with her boyfriend and immediately after walking in he dumped her and walked off he got beaten up in the bathroom later that night.

Truer words have never been spoken. You have one wise female friend.

From what I gather, that man-child is the scum of the Earth.

I agree...such cowardice and lack of honor...

I have many wise female friends, even though I must admit they're all online ones. Before I knew them I knew close to none girls as friends xD Most avoided or ignored me at first chance. But now I'm going off-topic..

The truth in the statement still stands.

 

[BallPtPenTheif]

Well the guy is indeed quite a jerk in my eyes, and that's probably the insane, twisted trait that attracted her to him.

As to you question: Because I'm a caring person. And eventhough I could have seen it coming from miles away that eventually something was going to screw this relationship up I still don't think anyone deserves this happening to them.

So yeah either caring or too involved with people's problems. I'm planning on studying psych so it won't work out too bad I'm sure.

Personally, when I see a girl attracted to jerks it makes me lose respect for them. From both a friendship level and an attraction level they just seem less appealing. Also, rarely are these situations a one way street, I wouldn't be surprised if she has a jerk streak in her as well. I used to wonder why girls like jerks and then it occurred to me, you know some of those women could be jerks too.

 

[Eclectic Dreck]

While I wouldn't have handled it the same way the reaction is understandable. I'm generally done in less than 20 minutes and ready for the evening, and then I often arrive to pick up a date and find they're still getting ready. While I'm sure there are usually perfectly good explanations for the whole "wait in the living room while they finish", It actually annoys the hell out of me. They knew when I was coming. They probably had hours to prepare and yet they don't have the decency to finish on time. Of course, such annoyance usually exists only for the time period that I'm waiting in the living room. The longer they take the more annoyed I get and the higher my expectations become. I once waited 45 minutes on a date and was somewhat disapointed when she didn't show up looking like the doctored photo of a supermodel .

Lack of honor maybe, but how exactly is the guy a coward? Ditching your date BEFORE you get to prom is a pretty ballsy move to be honest, especially if he didn't have a backup date waiting in the wings (and if he did he does get credit for being an above average villain).

This guy left his (now ex-girlfriend, naturally) in tears on one of the most important night of any teenager,

LIES!
*swings away epically on a rope to the "Off Topic" button at the top of the thread*

Er, wait, what were we talking about? Oh yeah. Prom? Why on earth would someone's life be dictated by one silly school dance? Does this mean that I've missed the most important day in my teenage life, or something?
