What do they want me to say?!?

Question

There is a guy is my English class. All my friends think he is so hot and can't understand why I don't like him. They say that they like him and if he ever asked any of us to a dance, and a dance is coming up, we had to say yes. I said I would thinking that he would never ask me and what they were getting their hopes up for was stupid. So my friend Amber is planning to ask him to the dance. But today before she could he asked me. I didn't tell her that he did. Or any of my friends. I said I had to go, which was true because I had o get to my next class, and I'd tell him later in band. Later in band i saw him come up to me after class and i got out of there fast pretending not to notice him. I never told him my answer and I know Amber would be really angry if I went to the dance with him but we said ANY of us would say yes if he asked us. What do my friends want me to do!? Say yes because of our pack or say no because of Amber. I don't like him or anything I just have nobody else to go with and since it's the first dance of the year, I want to go.

Answer 1

well, you yourself said you weren't interested in the guy. And if these are people you call friends, their feelings should be worth more than a little agreement they came up with. And you'll probably have your friends longer than you'll have this guy.

Answer 2

If i were you, i would ask Amber what she would like you to do as her friend, since she is the one with feelings for this guy. And if she wants you not to go because it would hurt her, then at least you know you can go to the dance with her instead.

Answer 3

Make your decision based on what your mind says about this fellow. If he is not interesting to you, then do not go. If you think that he is interesting, then go and have fun. Don't be a follower. Be a leader and forget what your friends think about you and your ideas. Many of the greatest thinkers had the fewest of friends. Blaze your own trail!  

Answer 4

What about the guy? He wants to take you to the dance, he asked you to the dance and you didn't say no to him. Think about his feelings.

Go to the dance with him if you want to and let Amber get over it!
