Have you asked any men in your family? If so what did they say?

If he is gonna tell the girl he has to do it now or it would be harder for her to find a new date.

He should let her down now before planning goes to far. She has 8 months to find a date. Better to be honest now then string her along and give her hope for something more. Good practice for him being open with future partners and not play with people’s feelings.

If it were right around the corner I would say to honor his commitment. But this young lady has plenty of time to find a new date. Part of growing up is learning how to break up with/reject people and be honest about your feelings. Potentially misleading her for months is also not kind and deprives her of a date that might actually want to be with her. It also sets him up to feel like he has to go out with people out of obligation instead of interest and that’s not fair for anyone.

As a mother of 3 boys if any of them came up to me with this BS I would tell him too bad you already agreed to go with this girl and as a real man your going to keep your word and not make this girl feel insecure and what not. I understand prom is important but they’re all going to be in group settings anyway with being with all their friends so it doesn’t really matter as long as he’s respectful and what not.

He goes with original girl as friends

He should honor his promise to go with the first offer. If not, he looks like someone who doesn’t honor agreements and he’ll learn it’s ok to do so?

He should honor his commitment and himself by being honest with the first girl and letting her be apart of the decision. If I was her I'd appreciate him being honest and allowing me the opportunity to go with someone who is excited about me

It’s all about commitment.

Tell him to ask the girl can they do a triple date and invite the other girl. One of my patients did it he looked amazing and so did the other 2 girls lmao. All jokes aside imagine he ask the girl he likes and she says no and now he doesn't have a date
