Ugh, gotta love my daughter...
She is a sophomore.. prom is for Juniors and their dates. She was asked to prom by an older boy, and she said yes... but now she may be changing her mind, and I feel kind of bad for the boy who asked her.
My daughter is not interested in relationships, and she's always felt this way. She has crushes and has had a couple boyfriends but they don't last long. Recently she dated a boy for a few months and then broke up with him because she just didn't feel like having a boyfriend anymore.. it's too hard to constantly worry about how someone else feels about things, etc...
So, that's fine, she's 15 and a smart girl. She has good friends and is happy with her life the way it is.
The boy that asked her to prom is quite the opposite. He wants a serious relationship.
My daughter told him she just wants to be friends, and he seemed okay with that..
But my daughter is getting annoyed because he is acting like they're dating, and he's treating her like they're dating, and she doesn't want to date.
So now she's going to break his little heart and not go to prom with him...
And I already bought the dress!! Ugh!
But I am proud that I have such a smart, independent daughter who knows what she wants and doesn't find her self worth in the eyes of a boy! I must have done something right!

Shame about the dress and the poor boy but bravo for your daughter and for you. As you said, you've surely done something very right as regards bringing up your daughter.

For sure! I was not like that when I was her age.. I was boy crazy, but wouldn't stay with one guy for very long!

@katsmeow1213 You're lucky she is like this. I hope she stays that way for a few more years.

Actually she changed her mind and will be going to prom after all. We're going to get the dress hemmed a little today.

Oh boy well maybe it will fit her next year if she finds someone she wants to go with then but I think it’s great she’s not boy crazy and is independent!

I do too! It should still fit her.. if not I can probably sell it for what I paid for it.

Probably, but since I paid so little for it, I might as well keep it for the next time she will need it.

Good for your daughter. She probably feels uncomfortable with him telling all his friends that she is dating him, especially when she told him she doesnt want a relationship, only a friendship. I've dumped a number of guys for this reason also.

She says he's very clingy, and someone I know who's daughter also dated him said the same thing.. he's clingy.

@katsmeow1213 No woman needs a clingon in her life. That could easily turn to abuse. You have a smart daughter. :-)

Yes, you have an independent and smart daughter. Save the dress, if it is like here there will be various formal occasions to wear it to.

Absolutely! I'm sure she'll get use out of it, and thankfully I only spent $70 on it!
