She Spent Her Whole Prom Night With A Guy She Really Likes But His Intentions Are Confusing Her
An 18-year-old girl went to her senior prom not too long ago, and at one point during the evening, a guy there that she did not know asked her friend to introduce them to one another.
After she met him, her prom night went from pretty ok to somewhat magical.
“He initiated an amazing night of exploring the venue, dancing, and going around introducing each other to our friends while holding hands (he asked first, I said yes),” she explained.
“Usually I hold boys to a really high standard and don’t talk to everyone (I’d never held hands romantically before, I turned down a boy who asked me to prom), but he was this interesting mix of really good-looking and genuinely interested in STEM.”
When prom was over, he got on the same bus home as her, and on the ride back, they chatted about a variety of different topics.
She was pleasantly surprised to find out that they really did have a lot in common.
“He even told me I could sleep on his shoulder and gently put his head on top of mine – it seemed like he wanted to know me better since he was taking things beyond just asking for a dance,” she said.
Her prom night happened well before graduation, and after prom, all of her friends were convinced that she would begin dating this guy.
She was also happy to see that other guys at her school knew that she had spent prom hanging out with him.

She really felt a connection to this guy. He was also so easy to talk to, and she decided to ask him to go to a museum with her one weekend, as that had come up in their prom night conversation.
He told her that he wasn’t available to go, but she still should check it out, which wasn’t the reply she was expecting.
“A few days later, he texted out of the blue and said I’d made his prom night really special but he didn’t want to lead me on and he hoped I didn’t regret spending prom with him,” she continued.
“It hurt, but I could accept it – closure.”
She texted him a message agreeing with him before mentioning that she had no regrets on her end.
She then told him that she wished him the best at college, and as their texting stopped, she thought that everything that happened during their prom night was just going to remain in the past.
Then, she started becoming confused over his intentions, because instead of them going their separate ways, he began doing things that left her wondering what he really did want.
When her birthday arrived, this guy talked with her at school about her birthday plans and later texted her to wish her a “Happy Birthday.”
She ignored that text, but then he kept popping up. He liked her birthday pictures on social media.
They both ended up going to a senior event, and he was eager to talk to her. He also then took a picture for her of her and her friend, and he said that she looked “pretty.”
When their graduation ceremony happened, he made sure to come up and congratulate her on graduating.
They then had a party on graduation night, and he tried to get her attention. She was sure he wanted to ask her to dance, but her friend intervened.
Since the text he sent to her saying didn’t want to lead her on, he has not revealed any of his feelings to her, and she’s puzzled.
“In a few months, we’re moving to opposite ends of the country for college, and I feel like I never got closure,” she added.
“He clearly said he didn’t want to lead me on, but in the last few weeks of senior year, he kept seeking me out and pushing for interaction – why?”
She believes he’s just playing head games with her, and she doesn’t understand what he really wants.
All of her friends have told her to forget about him and move on, but she can’t do that until she gets answers.
Do you think she should confront him about his conflicting behavior?
