Ok...i got a HUGE problem...
I was going to go to prom with my gf, but my old friend, whom i have been friends with since freshman year, has been wanting to go to prom with me since freshman year. (fyi...i'm a senior). She doesn't have a date, and i promised her that if i was to have not gone with my ex to prom, that i'd take her (made this promise last year). What should i do? Take my gf, who doesn't even go to my school cuz she dropped out, or take my good friend who's wanted to go with me for 4 years?

Not to be depressive, but chances are you'll eventually end it with your gf (who doesn't seem to be that great being a drop out) but your friend will always be there. On the other hand.. if things are rocky with your current girl she might not like it and make things worse.

blaugh Take me!!
Ok...but seriously...
This is indeed a toughie. A promise vs the gf...oy vey! Well taking them both would be weird. So scratch that one. If your gf really isn't that interested, maybe taking your friend wouldn't be such a bad idea. But, since I really don't know the situation with your gf...(and she really might wanna go despite her dropping out...y'know....just to be with her guy..) that has to be considered too. How will she feel about you taking your friend? Will she resent you choosing the friend over her? Either way; someone in this equation is going to feel a little down. I suggest taking the person you know is REALLY going to have a fun time and is going to make the night fabu. (I wouldn't even dare say skip the whole thing...free prom food!! xp can't miss that. ) I'm sure you feel tied up and guilty, but...deep within yourself I am more than sure you can picture which one would be really happy to go, and which one would be like "meh...ok...I'm here."
3nodding you'll be fine. What would life be if we didn't have huge issues? Just remember this--on prom night, you're celebrating the last legs of your high school career. It's supposed to be a happy time.

Well, this depends on a lot of things.
Personally right off the bat I'd say to take the girlfriend, she's your girlfriend for a reason, right?
I went to prom with my best friend, but we were both single (her boyfriend dumped her the week before -_-). There's nothing to say that your friend can't hang out with you and your girlfriend AT the prom, or get a group of friends to go together. I actually hung out with two different groups of friends while at prom...
Surely your friend can understand, you have a girlfriend... it's kinda obligatory you take her before anybody else.
Although if you want to sit down with your girlfriend and ask how she feels about prom and if she doesn't care, if she'd be hurt that you'd take your friend instead of her, that would probably be a safe bet.
Your friend doesn't need somebody to take her to prom, not even you.... and your girlfriend rightfully should have top priority on your list of people you'd take to prom. For photos would you rather have pictures of you and a buddy, or you and your girlfriend? Other than for prom photos, there is no point in worrying about your date other than who you're gonna pay for... or who will pay for you.

Bill Gates is a college drop-out, I believe... the owner of Geek Squad is a drop-out...they're both millionaires. There are other famous drop-outs, though I don't know them all (and no, they're not all in the computer industry). Einstein had a speech impediment as a child, people taunted him, they thought he was stupid--obviously he wasn't.
My cousin is a highschool drop out, but he's very smart... my boyfriend is about to be a dropout (although he'll get his diploma instead of a GED, I don't fully understand it)... both of them... very, very smart. My cousin could get into any college he wanted with his ACTs. Hell, if it wasn't for my highschool grades I could've gotten into a lot of colleges. So you can't really judge somebody's ability by their degree-- school can be more difficult for smarter people because they might not learn the way average people do, the classes may be too easy and bore them, etc. I'm not saying every high school dropout is brilliant, but there are plenty of smart people that can't learn in the typical way.

well, as the date approaches, you'll know more who you want to take with you more. it maybe be your gf, or your friend. meh, going alone isn't bad either. myself, i'm going with my bf.
