She tells her friends she has me "wrapped around her fingers"

[The Great One]

So I was thinking about asking this girl to prom, (lets call her "girl A") and randomly today, her friend (girl b) and I start talking. I haven't told anyone I was planning on asking "girl a" but me and "girl b" get on the topic of who I am going with. I said i'm not sure, and then she goes on to tell me that "girl a" says I am her backup plan. So of course I instantly start to think, NEXT, but then "girl b" goes on to tell me how "girl a" says that she has me wrapped around her finger, and that I am her b****. Now, prom is about 3 weeks away and it looks like girl a's first choice is going with somebody else. So what should I say to her if/when she asks me, and what should I do about her in general?

I wouldn't like being a back up plan. Find another date. Make it quick though, last minute preperations suck for girls.

find a date fast. adn if she brings up the topic say "I'm sorry i have a date. if she had said no, then maybe i woulda considered you..but she didnt "

 

[Skilla_Staz]

ha just drop the "if she had said no" stuff

If you get a date, and she asks. A simple "Can't babe, got a date already"

make sure its a cute girl too it'll add to the jealousy

I'd be a real bastard and not tell her until the last possible moment. Screw her out of any date whatsoever.

 

[VegasGuy56]

I agree with Mr. Rogers.

 

[The Great One]

Also, if I don't end up finding another date, should I next her anyway and go single?

 

[VegasGuy56]

Next her man. She's a *****.

Firstly, say to her:"you think you got me wrapped around your finger?? think again. You can play your stupid little games somewhere else because even if you are the last person on earth, i will not go to the prom with you."
You next girl A and if girl B is hot, ask her to the prom.

tell her maybe we should go, but youre not sure right now. cut it off at that, i mean whatever you have to do change the subject.

then get another date. next time prom comes up in a conversation (force it at some point that isnt cruel, but not comfortable either...maybe two weeks before prom?) mention like its jsut another fact "oh yeah, i'm going with alicia" or whatever. if she reacts badly, says "sorry, you were my backup plan"

if you cant find another date, take her. the first statement i told you to make to her will keep her wondering until you officially ask, at least winning you some hand back.

sounds like girl b is a tad jealous?

sounds like girl b is a tad jealous?

ah a possibility! now you'll have to look through your catalogue of ioi's you've noticed from girl b and see if there is any possible attraction. i was gonna say, it seems like a realllllllly ballsy thing for girl a to talk about with her friends, and a reallllly traitorous thing for girl b to tell to you.

 

[Skilla_Staz]

It makes perfect sense.

 

[The Great One]

No, girl B isn't jealous. She is the hot female friend of mine that always hooks me up. Still don't know what to do about girl a.

I think having her saying you're wrapped around her finger is a perfect opportunity to change the situation around.

And there is nothing wrong with being a back up plan. There are hotter guys out there than you.
