i guess im the typical teen when it comes to this sorta thing...but heres my situation maybe u can help. My gf broke up with me be4 christmas and we havent spoken since then...i mean we did for a while but we wanted different things and it pissed me off. I knew she liked me still and i told her she was making a mistake, and since then we stopped talking. Recently i met thois greeeeeat girl. Shes pretty and has a great personality, very nice girl. I guess u can say im attracted to her, so i asked her to my junior prom. Until a few days ago i thought i wanted to get into a relationship with her, but i decided it would work cause she lives to far and shes just really not my type. Ill definatly still take her to junior prom tho. But AFTER i made that decision my ex called me and apologized for everything and said she did make a mistake and she missed being with me. I know im in love with her, because theres just a feeling there that ive never had and weve been close for a really long time (almost 5 years) ...but idk if i can trust her in a relationship. Idk wut to do because i cant get back with her and forget about taking the other girl to junior prom, thats wrong but i think i do want to get back with my ex

Is it possible the ex caught wind of you taking another girl to the prom ?

You make it sound as though you really like this new girl but are trying to convince yourself it wont work because the ex is back in the picture,,

You made a commitment, follow through with it. It doesn't lock you into anything or take away any options. Go to the Junior Prom with this new girl, enjoy yourself, and then after that's behind you, evaluate the whole situation. What you think about this new person, what you think about your ex, where you want to go from there.

But no rush.

(IMO.)

I think you should take the new girl to the prom, just because you already asked her, and taking her is the right thing to do.

If the old gf doesn't like the prom thing, you can always tell her, "I made a promise to her, and I feel obligated to keep it. I don't want to hurt her feelings." Old gf ought to understand, and if she doesn't, you've learned something very important about her.

I'd go with what Sozobe & BorisKitten said. Does the new girl know that you are going as just friends? I think it's a good idea to be up front about that also in case it's not clear.

Not to corrupt a seemingly innocent mind, but you will probably find yourself lying to women (for your own good) in the future Very Happy

Hope you mean the little white lies...."No, that dress does NOT make you look fat," not the big honkin' ones....[insert lie here]

Let's see.

Someone broke up with you.

You met someone else, asked 'em out.

Person who dumped you a couple of months ago starts sniffing around again.



Go to the dance with the new, outta town, friend.

Stay cool with both of them.

The ex-gf has some serious stuff to prove after dumping you. Like - she knows how to be a good friend.

You say we wanted different things ? Do you mean she wanted different things like seeing other guys ?

A couple things here first off junior prom ? I m assuming your somewhere around 17 years old ? If this is correct that would make you started dating around 12 or 13 ?
To me the timing of this is too close she called you after you made the date for the prom?? Makes me wonder ???

If this is a question then take the advise sozobe and BorisKitten and for that matter DestinysDad

I have many friends that dated one girl their entire tennage life eventually got married and all but 1 couple has since split up,
Your young enjoy yourself see whats out there..
And good luck.

MrBob329:

Are you EMSFD125? If not, the two of you are leading identical lives . . . . Smile

Best wishes as you journey on this ever-changing, but remaining the same, relationship roller-coaster with your ex/current/ex/current/ex/current girlfriend of four years. Don't spend too much time agonizing about the situation that exists today, because it will be completely different tomorrow and you will be claiming the former situation is resolved . . . but a new one has surfaced. Smile

I guess, someday, you have to determine whether you want to live your life as a soap opera. Take care!
