Prom issue. To ask .. or not to ask?

[redbyte]

So theres this chick I have been friends with for quite some time. My friend talked to her at a Friday lunchtime and she apparently said to my friend that she wanted me to ask her to the formal. So my friend tells me this on Monday, and I arrange to ask on Friday.
I decide to ask by buying a rose or something and I have it all planned out, but then my friend talks to her on Thursday and she says, "but thats not true anymore, I want someone else to ask me now".
So now I am all depressed and sad.
But this guy she wants to ask her is apparently not going to, and she said herself, "im almost definately sure hes not going to ask me though".
So if I ask now, I will probably get rejected.
Do I wait around for this guy to ask someone else so that she loses interest and wants me to? Or do I just bail out and ignore her?
I think I already know the answer. But I really like this girl, and have been her friend for some time, and theres no other girl I would rather go with.

Thanks
PS. I live in Australia, so our 'formal' is in November. So I got plenty of time.

This is a no brainer

The girl is not just gonna reject you if she doesn't think the guy she wants to go with isn't gonna go with her. Plus you've been friends for a while she's not gonna want to her your feeling.

The worst thing to do in your situation is wait. Unless she asks you (Highly Doubtful) then your just gonna miss out on a great chance to be wit someone you really like.

DONNOT wait, go for it on the set date you made, the longer you wait the more she will lose interest in you.

Prom's in november bro, weight your options come August/September, no need in trying to find a date now, you'll be sick of them by november.

Ok. So some reckon wait. Some reckon go for it.
Exactly what my friends are saying .. I'm confused.
On an msn conversation she said, "Yeah I want this other guy to ask me, but I'm almost definately certain he isn't going to."
Also my other friend reckons he isn't going to either.
Which makes me wonder. Why would she not want me to ask, if she knows this guy isn't going to ask??
Hell I could ask a dozen hot chicks in my grade, but I'm not going to because I know the answer would almost certainly be 'no'. So I'm asking this chick instead. Why would she do this?
And what kinda chick changes her mind like that? In less than a week I go from her wanting me, to not wanting me. I didn't even do anything wrong. I was sick on Tuesday so I stayed home, then I come on Wednesday and its all changed.
I feel used.

You'd be surprised. A lot of guys pass up asking really hot girls to dances because they fear rejection.

But guess what. If you at least somewhat know the girl (just being acquaintances with the girl and having talked to her a fair amount, don't necessarily have to have hung out outside of school), and she doesn't have anyone else in mind, odds are she will say yes to being asked to a dance.

Sure, she may have just said yes to be nice, but if you apply your DJ skills you should have her having a good time. Plus, whether or not she's really interested in you, if she said yes she obviously likes you somewhat.

I used to be afraid to ask girls to dances like prom, but I've realized it's not as hard as people make it out to be.

It worked for me this year. I'm a junior, and while I'm definitely not unpopular, I'm not exactly the most popular kid either (I'm friends with a lot of popular kids, and I'll go to parties sometimes, but I don't have people calling me up left and right). I decided to ask a sophomore who most consider to be the hottest sophomore. I'm kind of friends with her and have hung out with her before, but when I asked her I hadn't hung out with her in a long time, so I was a little skeptical. But, she said yes anyway. I got a ton of props from guys for asking her and a lot of people asked me how I did it. Well it was simple, I just asked.

dude take whoever just go to your prom the only thing i warn you about your prom dates is to make sure you dont take someone who has a bf cause i did that and i thought it would be cool if we went as homie. it sucked cause there is **** i couldnt do cause she has a boyfriend. i though taking a friend would be fun but it wasnt cuase when you dirty dancing and such i felt weird cause i got wood and she has a bf so uh yeah dont take a girl with a boyfriend. completely my fault.
