text: what do i do about my date for prom? my prom is in 9 days and i have no date! my friend is my last hope for a date but when my friend asked him to take me he said he was broke and didn't want to go anyways! my friend (who asked him) still thinks i should try to get him to go, suggest splitting costs, etc. cuz she was going to help me find a date but she'll be in new york for the next week! should i try to talk him into it and how? yeah ask him to go with you, by yourself and splitting the cost is a good idea. the two of you are friends there is no reason why you shouldn't be able to enjoy each others company, unless you're thinking of someone else while you're together. don't let this be a mercy date for either of you, make sure that the two of you can really have fun. it's not necessary to be open to other possibilities.  enjoy the prom!
