I 2nd the going with the group idea; it should work for both the girl and you. Frankly, I can't believe you have so little consideration for your date's feelings though; might want to consider changing your attitude for college.

Just take your current date to the prom, dance with her a few songs and then move on to the hot girl.

It's not like you have to spend the whole night with her, right?

And as for this 'promise' nonesense... wow. It's just like a date; you can break it if you feel like it. It's not your problem that she is getting dumped for a more attractive girl, it's her problem.

Tell her she is worthless and you would rather go to prom with Rosy O'Donnell's left testicle.

no, i don't think it's necessary to hurt her. just be frank in saying that you'd prefer not to. bartleby is your example. try not to do the whole jail part, though.

omg sheena youre just like me!! seriously my whole goal for prom was just to go with someone i found very attractive. i know tons of girls, but i simply wanted to go with someone hot, and that narrows down my choices A LOT. i ended up asking one of my friends who is good looking, but her parents wouldnt let her go, so now im not going at all (in fact prom is today).

zzboy, you situation is different; it may be somewhat shallow to just look for an attractive date but to dump a less attractive date for a more attractive one after she has spent time preparing for the event in just plain insensitive. Think about if every behaved the way the OP did and focused solely on their own selfish desires, it would be a cruel (or crueler, to be more accurate) world.

And prom isn't just a date to most people; it is the final celebration of your high school years. For how many high school dates do people get limos, expensive dresses, and prepare weeks in advance? I could be wrong, but that doesn't sound like the typical high school date.

Doesn't mean the game changes.

What if the OP got someone else that doesn't have a date and had him take his place. Sounds like a good compromise for those girls that are all like 'no, ugly girls need love too!' and for the guys that want more attractive dates.

^ or he could not be a ******, take the girl, show her a good time, dance with other girls too (have a good time himself), drop the girl off, and keep his soul.

I agree with MBP. Also, it sounds as if the OP may be a bit insecure about himself. It seems as if he asked this girl to be his "security blanket" prom date because he could not get a hotter/prettier/more popular/etc. date.

Dude, the solution is not to hurt this girls feelings. Just get some self confidence.

Kill a family member, that is the only valid excuse you will be able to make.

If I were the girls father, I'd beat the crap out of you if you backed out of prom with my daughter.

i know right

and it would help the daughter's self-esteem, knowing that her father had to beat a kid up to make him go with her

I agree with the people saying stick with her. It's just one night, and you said there was nothing wrong with her, so why not just respect her feelings and go with her?
