DD's Homecoming Date Has A Girlfriend!

[Feralpeg]

Wouldn't you know it! DD was so excited that she got asked to homecoming. Being new at the school, she figured no one would ask her. We bought the dress and made the hair appointment. Then she hears from several kids at school that her date has a girlfriend. She asked him point blank and he said that he had broken up with her. She believes him and plans on attending the dance with him. Yesterday on the way to class, she sees him kissing his "old girlfriend" in the hall. When DD asks him about it, he denys it. Well, she's not going to homecoming now. Darn!

A young man who behaves in that manner doesn't DESERVE to escort her to homecoming! So glad she found out his character (or lack of) before geting more involved! Obviously, there will be no lack of dates in her life....as I've said before, she's adorable!

SSSHHHHHHHHHH - Sound of air sucking in through clenched teeth followed by, uhhhhhhh- sound of air slowly escaping...

I'm sorry. I know that that hurts you and your DD.

I wouldn't be a teenager again for a million dollars..............

alright, MAYBE for a million, but I get to keep all the "what I know now stuff".
Please tell her that Miss Stacilee said:
Hang in there honey. Someday this jerk won't even seem that bad, compared to some of the men you'll encounter along the way to finding Mr. Right. Try to think of it as a learning experience so you'll know what kind of man NOT to marry.

She doesn't need a guy who is a liar. I hope that she meets the right guy soon who will treat her with respect. Sending PD and hugs to you both.

She should go look fabulous, and hook up with someone there!

 

[Keli]

That really stinks. What a jerk. Did he think that because your dd was new to the school that she wouldn't hear that he had a girlfriend? And wouldn't his girlfriend be expecting him to take her to homecoming? You gotta wonder what game this kid was trying to play. I'm glad your dd found out ahead of time but I'm sorry she was used this way. Is it too late for her to find another date?

 

[BostonTigger]

On behaf of the male race...I'm sorry. Unfortunately we do have some idiots amoung us. This guy obviously doesn't deserve to take you DD to Homecomming. She deserves better.

She should check to see if there are any other groups going without dates, There are coed groups that go together as a group of friends in some schools.
So sorry for your DD
Atleast she shares all that information with you, a lot of teenagers wouldn't breathe a word of that to their parents!
If she doesn't go maybe you could take her to dinner at her favorite, fancy place to take her mind off the evening.

What a lousy thing to happen to her. Maybe she knows some girls that are going without dates. If she does, she should go all "dolled" up, looking like a million dollars.

 

[mommytotwo]

Poor thing, she was looking forward to it. Could she maybe ask someone else to the dance?

 

[Microcell]

Could she go with some friends? I would go and have fun. I went to homecoming right after break up with a co-worker.

 

[VampHeartless]

That is so jacked!! Not only does this butthead try to play your daughter, but he ruins her homecoming!!!

People are so stupid and inconsiderate sometimes. I hope she finds a new date!!

As already mentioned, she is really cute, and probably will have plenty of dates waiting in line! At least it's good that she's gaining experience at recognizing the losers.

 

[Shugardrawers]

Yup, I'm with everyone else here. He's not worthy of her time. She shouldn't let this ruin her Homecoming though. It's 2004, no reason she can't go with some friends or ask another boy herself.

 

[Blueeyes101817]

o geez..sorry to hear that!! hopefully she can still go and have a great time!

 

[Feralpeg]

A little followup. She may go with a group of girls. I hope she does. Her dress is beautiful and IMHO she's going to look gorgeous. If she doesn't end up going, she can work the haunted house with her friends from the school drama department. Either way, she'll have something to do. Thanks for all your kind thoughts!

 

[VampHeartless]

See...I would totally go for the Haunted House!!!

(Organizing the one for our base)

Why go to some formal boring dance...when you have the opportunity to scare the living snot out of people!!

Glad she's found someone to go with at least though...

 

[chrissyk]

What a creep Your DD is way better off finding out before the dance. Our senior year, a really "hot" guy asked my good friend to our winter formal. She was pretty psyched. Well, her "hot" guy spent the night ignoring her and trying to pick up other girls at the dance My date was such a gentleman...he ended up escorting both of us for most of the night. After that dance, my friend and I decided to go to the prom stag, together...no sense in wasting a perfectly good dance on a potentially lousy date, LOL! Tell your DD to go with some girlfriends and to have a blast!

 

[BuzznBelle'smom]

I'm glad your daughter has other options--you could always hang on to the dress for a future event, I'm sure there will be several!

You know, you should really look on this as a learning experience for her--she was strong enough to ditch him, and if this helps her spot the "Scott Peterson's" of the world better, then it will have been worth the heartache. I almost feel sorry for the other girl--he's clearly playing with her, but she doesn't have your daughter's strength. You'll see, she'll be over this before you are.

 

[Disney1fan2002]

Feralpeg, if that is your DD in the picture, then she has nothing to worry about! She is STUNNING! Let the loser kiss his ex-girlfriend...some other guy will be the lucky one, if not this dance, then certainly many more!

 

[EsmeraldaX]

Sounds to me like this kid does not DESERVE a homecoming date as talented and lovely as your daughter!
