Prom Spot - Q&A: Prom Dates: Two Dates to the Dance!

Q: A good friend asked me to the prom and I said yes. But then this guy I've been flirting with for weeks also asked me and I told him I'd go with him. Help!

A: Ooh, this one's a toughie. No matter what you do, it seems someone is bound to get hurt. Here's a way you can keep your friend without losing your chance at romance:

Since you'd rather go with the flirt, you need to tell your friend and hope he understands. If the friendship means anything to you, tell him that you'll gladly break your date with this other guy and keep your word. If all goes well, he'll step aside and let love prevail (which would be super-nice of him). However, if he accepts your offer to keep your word, go to Bachelor #2 and reveal the whole truth: You wanted to go with him so much that you accepted his offer even though you already had a date. Then ask him for a rain check!
