Today, my ex-boyfriend asked me to homecoming, in front of the whole school, knowing I have social anxiety. I was forced to say yes to not seem like an asshole. Now I can't back out. FML

For everyone asking why we broke up, its because he was very manipulative and downright abusive behind closed doors. I can't back out because i'm afraid of what might happen if I do.

Don't buy a dress, if he asks to see it, stall. On the day of homecoming, you're suddenly too sick to leave your bed! Problem solved

Isn't it too late for Homecoming? It's usually in September-November.

Nope, we normally do it when theres a break in sports. Like after football and swimming is over, lots of time then.

i thought the homecoming dance and football were combined so that you have a game against your schools rivals and a dance after to either celebrate a win, or cheer the schppp up after a loss. Is your homecoming just a stand alone dance OP?

Ugh, public proposals & shit like that are so disgusting and manipulative. They obviously do it because they know most people can't say no infront of a bunch of people for the sake of not coming off as a horrible person. OP, tell him that what he did was awful and that you're not going with him or get someone else to tell him, don't put up with that shit.

I had a friend ask me to prom via poem in front of a lot of people. I was already going with someone else, so instead of answering, I just went up to him and gave him a hug. People assumed I said yes, and I was able to tell him quietly that I had already made plans. Of course, the difference here is that he was a genuine friend trying to do something sweet, whereas OP's boyfriend was just being a manipulative and controlling bag of shit.

Of course you can back out. Call the guy up, and do it.

He's your ex your not obligated to go, if he is that desperate that he has to ask you in an uncomfortable situation that he knows you dont like then he needs a life, you dont have to go youre your own woman and you deserve better than him. Just say no and move on to find someone else who you like

You should have said no, even if it makes you look like an asshole it's better than going with someone you don't want to go with

It was incredibly wrong of him to put you in that position. He is your ex, not a stranger, so he would have known exactly what would happen should he ask you out in front of so many. I'm sorry you have to deal with that jerk. I have both Social and Generalised anxiety so I can understand how horrible and trapped you must be feeling right now. I do have to say, though, that I'm very glad he is your ex and not a current boyfriend because, OP, if he is going to treat you like that, he sure as hell doesn't deserve you.

Break a bone. That's what I did. Granted mine was an accident, though. FYL
