If I was 42, a programmer and had two kids, it would be really flattering but also very awkward to be asked to prom by my dream girl. If she actually meant to ask my best friend then that's even more difficult. I think the right thing to do is tell her truthfully: apologize for any confusion and make sure both of them know how much they mean to me--possibly invite them both out sailing or on a hike with friends as an alternative way we can all spend time together!

If my best friend got asked to prom by my dream girl, I'd be happy for him and throw a party 2 celebrate! But inside Id b cringing with envy. Might need another beer 2 get over it 😉

If I got asked to prom by my dream girl but she actually meant to ask my best friend, then I'd suck it up and be a bro. Tell her right away that he's the one she wants, so everything stays chill between us all. That way nobody gets hurt & me n' homie can still have the sickest ride out there in our sweet rides on Prom night!

If my dream girl asked me to prom by mistake, I'd bite the bullet and tell her that she meant to ask my BFF.

I'd tell my best friend how happy I am that they got asked by their dream girl, and then offer to be their plus one! That way we can both enjoy the night together, and it'll be a great story later on. At the same time, I would encourage them to listen to what their heart's telling them - if going with her is something they want to do, then go for it. Whatever happens though, know that you have my full support!

I'd be super bummed, but I wouldn't show it. Maybe throw on a smile and tell her that she should totally go with my best friend cuz they would look bomb together. Then maybe treat myself to some new music or clothes since day-ruining tends to call for retail therapy lol #treatyoself

If you were in such a dilemma, I would suggest finding the courage to talk to your best friend about it. Explain that you are aware of their relationship and why they asked them instead of you. Tell them that while it does hurt, all parties involved should look for ways to bring everyone closer together rather than being driven apart by misunderstandings or envy - after all, the ultimate goal should be bringing joy and creating memorable moments as we go through life! Ultimately, whatever decision is made will depend on if both friends value each other’s perspectives and come up with an arrangement that everyone can happily live with.

If I were asked to prom by my dream girl, but then found out she meant to ask my best friend, I'd be a gracious man and talk with her about why she wanted him instead. If he's ok with it, I'd offer the invitation to him with enthusiasm and encourage them both to have a great time! Life is too short not to support your friends in their pursuits of happiness.

If you were asked to prom by your dream girl, but then found out she actually meant to ask your best friend, I'd first take a moment to reflect on the situation. There are so many potential paths forward and emotions can make it hard to navigate them properly. If possible, try talking with her openheartedly in order to understand what drew her towards asking him instead of you - this way, you can gain insight into why things happened as they did and possibly rethink any assumptions or expectations that may have held sway over how you both interact. Additionally, aim at being supportive of their relationship if indeed one is developing; sometimes taking steps outside our own desires helps build healthier relationships within those around us!

I'd take it as a learning experience. I know it might be hard at first, but life has its ups and downs. It can be difficult to think of your friend having opportunities that you don't have - we've all been there! Instead, focus on the positives: support them with their plans for prom and try to be happy for them. Feeling jealous or envious isn't constructive; instead find something different that makes you feel fulfilled. Maybe join a sports team or plan an activity with your other friends if they're not already going out?

I feel pretty mad. If I was asked by my dream girl to prom, but she really meant to ask my best friend, then that's a bummer! He should of told her he wasn't interested so that she coulda asked me instead! Maybe it's all for the best though since sometimes things don't turn out how we want em. Now I just gotta focus on cookin' some good Mexican food and livin' la vida loca with mi esposa pfft who anoys me mucho anyhow! Y que mas se le va hacer..

If I was asked to prom by my dream girl, but then found out she meant to ask my best friend, I'd politely explain the mistake and suggest that they should both enjoy prom together. Ultimately it's better for everyone involved if we remain friendly rather than create an awkward situation over a misunderstanding.

If I was asked to prom by my dream girl, but then found out she meant to ask my best friend instead - well, that would be a real bummer! But all is not lost...I'd let my bestie know the situation and offer to assist in any way needed; maybe offering styling advice or help with tickets for both of them. And while he may have gotten what he wanted (a prom date!), it wouldn't hurt if I chipped in too - a treasured gift from me as his true pal showing him just how much we care. After all, there's tons of ways to make a special evening even more unforgettable ;)

If I were asked to prom by my dream girl but then found out she meant to ask my best friend, I would step up and be there for them both. First off, I'd offer some practical advice on how my friend could make their date special—where they should go or what activities they could do together. At the same time, though, it's important for me not to overstep boundaries: after all this is a momentous occasion in their lives! So I would also be sure to give them plenty of space so that this moment can remain between just the two of them. If needed too, I'm always willing to provide an ear if either one needs someone unbiased and comforting they can chat with afterwards :)

LOL I'd be like, "Hey that's really great! Unfortunately it looks like you made an adorable mistake. Why don't you two have a double date? We can all make memories together!"

If I were asked to prom by my dream girl but found out she meant to ask my best friend, I’d speak with her about it first. If she explained why she chose him and was apologetic for the misunderstanding, then I would be understanding of the situation and wish them well. It's a tough lesson in life — sometimes things don’t go our way — that must be accepted gracefully if one is going to reach their full potential.

I would approach the situation with empathy and understanding. I'd talk to both my dream girl and my best friend, describing how I'm feeling so everyone's perspectives are heard. Listening carefully to each of them is key here - it can be difficult when two people have different ideas about a situation, but being open and respectful will help find the right solution for all involved. From there, we could brainstorm some alternatives that work for all parties like double-dating, bringing another group of friends along or even suggesting other activities on prom night instead. Ultimately though, no matter what you do, remember to be kind hearted as this shows respect towards everybody involved!

. If I were asked to prom by my dream girl, but found out she meant to ask my best friend - I'd be a little disappointed at first, but then would quickly wish them the best and offer any help or advice they need preparing for the big night. My marriage is strong and fulfilling so I know it wouldn't make a difference in that way! Plus knowing my bff had such an amazing experience would bring me joy too :)

I'd take the high road and be happy for my best friend. If I know she wanted to ask him, then it'll make his night that much better when he accepts. A key part of life is learning how to put others first and this could be a great lesson in putting someone else's needs before your own feelings. Wish them both luck!

I'd be disappointed but also relieved. I'd tell her that she should go with my best friend & congratulate them both, while keeping my disappointment to myself.
