Today, the girl who'd asked me to prom told me she assumed we weren't going together and is now going with her friends. After agreeing to go with her, I'd bought a $200 non-refundable suit along with the ticket. I have no one else to go with. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I went to prom with my two friends. I was ditched by my prom date because he had “other plans.” The weird thing is that when we got to the prom location, I saw him with another date. FML
Today, I asked my girlfriend to prom. Instead of saying yes, she broke up with me. FML
Today, a friend texted me to get a ticket and go to a theme park with her tomorrow. I bought a ticket and didn't hear from her until 5 hours later to say she was sorry, but she doesn't think she'll be going. It was $65 and non refundable. FML
Today, I wanted to take my girlfriend to a nice dinner before prom. Her parents followed her in, and joined us to "keep an eye on me." They interrupted all our conversations, ate an expensive meal, then got up and walked out when the waitress brought the $95 check, leaving me to pay for it. FML
Today, I texted the girl I'm going to homecoming with in a couple days to say hi. The conversation started OK, but then morphed into her saying that she doesn't feel anything between us, and wants to stop being friends after the dance. I have to buy her dinner and a ticket, out of my own wallet. FML
Today, my girlfriend got paid by the richest guy in our school to go to the Winter Formal with him. She took up the offer. FML
Today, I went to the movies with my crush, who had asked me out on a date. Assuming he'd pay, I left my money at home. When the time came to buy the tickets, he only bought one for himself. FML
Today, after having a fight with my BFF, she invited me to come along to a party. I found out later that she'd only invited me so that when returning from the event, we could take a taxi and split the cost. FML
Today, I bought my girlfriend two tickets to a Broadway show that was coming through town she really wanted to see. I couldn't attend with her due to work so she said she would take her mom. I found out later she took her ex. Now they're back together, and I paid for the date that made it happen. FML
Today, I rejected my crush's prom proposal because I didn't think he was being serious and wanted to prank me or something. Turns out he was serious but now he's going with another girl. FML

Every man needs at least one well fitting suit. You may not be able to use it for prom, but it will never be useless.

I hope OP comes by to give us more details because I am confused. How can she ask OP to prom and they say yes, and then she doesn't think they've agreed to go together? Is she just stupid or flaky, or was the whole thing just a cruel game or what?

I guess she thought yes meant no.

Time to suit up

It says this takes place in the United States and since this is about Prom the OP is most likely 17-18 years old which means that unless they gain weight or seriously bulk up, it is unlikely they will outgrow the suit at this point. Usually by 18, and again I stress usually because I know there are random freak incidents, but usually by 18 you are pretty much at whatever predetermined height and width your genetic make-up gives you by default.

Um, no; it's not very likely to maintain one's high-school weight after graduation here in the US. Given the overabundance of fast food places, junk food (chips, etc.), and large restaurant servings, most people gain weight during their 20's - 40's. Hence, the current significant rate of obesity. --USA resident

I actually knew a girl that did a similar thing to me....and to this day i still have no clue why she did it other than "i probably just was her backup-plan".

Always RENT the suit, man

I’m getting the feeling there might be something missing here. Did you say yes but not follow up maybe she wanted to go with you to get the tux ? At the very least you have a good suit and you can still go. Who knows who you will dance with that prom .

Small-claims court. Or, grow a pair and go stag.

I'd say go stag and crash your prom. Going with someone is overrated anyway and I always found the "romantic" aspect of prom to be pathetically cliche.

She asked you to prom--did you actually say yes? And if so, did you follow up with when you meet, where you go out, what color is her dress, etc.? How did she just assume that you weren't going together?
ChibiChibi_fml 28
I get the where to meet and when they were going but why the flip does her dress color matter? As a female who went to prom I would have found it very strange if the person I was going with had asked me what color dress I was wearing. If it is about "coordinating outfits" or something that's just creepy. A girl wearing a blue dress does not mean he should wear a blue suit, and in fact unless they are participating in some strange color coordinated team competition, I would say he definitely shouldn't wear a suit the same color as her dress. If it is about a corsage or something, than the question should simply be "What kind of corsage do you want" or even "do you want a corsage?" because allergies are thing and you don't want to give a girl a gift that will make her spend the night sneezing with eyes puffed and swollen.

I say, go to your Prom anyway!! You’ve already bought the suit, you’ve got your ticket.... That way, perhaps you’ll Arrive there on your own, but that doesn’t necessarily mean that you’ll have to Leave there alone!

Go stag, **** it
