Why is this guy your friend? Asshole.

Maybe he's like me, wants to go really badly, but is way to damn shy!

My reply would be: "sorry I offered. Enjoy sitting home while the rest of us are out having fun, asshole. Stop whining about not having someone to go with just because you don't have the confidence in yourself to go alone"

It's very possible he likes her, is shy, and is trying to cover it up.

Well, 20, if he likes her but is too shy to ask her out, why would he try to cover it up and turn down the chance to go to the dance as "just friends" with the possibility of it becoming more. I see what you're trying to say, it just doesn't make much sense to me.

26 Shy people tend to do dumbass things around people they like.

27- I guess so. But that would pretty much kill any chance the guy would have had with me. But that's just me.

It would kill a girls chance with me to unless she somehow proved herself. But some people are desperate enough to take... *insert italics* "That."

Well there is being awkward out of shyness and being downright insulting, which is the case here.

Very possible that her friend is gay, and she doesn't know it? Possible that he wasnt being rude, maybe he would never be desperate enough to take a girl? It's a possibility, thats what popped into my mind right away.

Or maybe he's afraid of being friendzoned or something?
(Protip: The friendzone doesn't fucking exist.)

If OP was a guy and the friend was a girl, people would just say that OP is in the friend-zone and wouldn't call the friend an asshole, right? Or am I mistaken?

I reckon it's time to find yourself a new friend.

Your so called "friend" is a dick. No wonder why no girl asked him. Plus (not all the time) but generally: don't the males usually asked the females out?

39 there's such a thing as a girl's choice dance

Yeah, that's a perfectly good reason to throw away a friendship. -.-

what an absolute arse, he clearly doesn't even deserve a date. you can do much better OP!

Maybe he just meant desperate enough to go with a friend. Either way as a guy he shouldnt be waiting to be asked unless perhaps hes gay.

You were trying to make him feel better and that's his response? What a jerk.

That's how most females act when I ask them to the dance... You have my sympathy

Hahaha! So true...

That was the only Comment that amused me.

Constantly complaining and insulting the people who stick around, he's gonna end up with no friends.

That's when you say, "well that's too bad that offer was going to be your last" and then punch him in the throat, that's how you pick up guys right?

no, it isn't

I would have thought personally that him complain in front of you like that was kind of a hint for you to ask him, I guess not. Your friend must simply be a douchebag.

Sorry OP, I can't imagine the look on your face for his response. Feel better you never happened to dance with that trash.

Wow. Seems like the type of fella who really values you and your feelings.

Might be time to find new friends, darling...
