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

A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.

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

Or she can just tell him to **** off for putting her in such a predicament.

My homecoming is in just about a month.

And that's when you tell the announcements to announce that you're not going to homecoming with him and that he shouldn't pressure you like that again. Public embarrassment right back at him.

Just pretend you're married. Go home, call his ass up and bitch him out for doing that in public, then tell him you will NOT be going with him and if he does that shit again you will announce to the entire school that the reason you two split up is he just couldn't sexually satisfy you!

Your boyfriend is an ass. I think you can claim you've come down with food poisoning or some other stomach bug on Homecoming day and oh so sorry, but you're puking every time you get up and there's no way you can go to the dance.

You can too because someone did it to me

Sure you can. If you don't want to go with him tell him so and why.

You can't back out why?

this advice is coming from a crazy evil bitch. go on to facebook or whatever and find a different high school. find a bunch of guys and messege them what happened and the messege with "so i really need a guy to go with so i can try and enjoy homecoming and not have to deal with him. would you be free on (put date here) to act as my date". then when homecoming comes around show up with the guy from another school and ignore your ex all night.

unless he did something horrible like beat you or rape you, take this as a sign he likes you and is trying to reconnect.

This is something called emotional abuse that can be so much worse and so much harder to get over than visible abuse. This guy sounds as if he is a classic emotional abuser.
