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?

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. -.-

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.

Hahaha! So true...

That was the only Comment that amused me.

no, it isn't
