So I have been dating my gf for a month now. Her prom is this week but she is taking another guy instead. The reason I am not going with her is because there is an age limit for her school's prom. Yes, I am 21 and my gf is 18. I wouldn't want her to go to her senior prom alone so I can understand it. She's going with some guy from a different school. But the thing is she said this guy used to have a thing for her. The past is the past, plus this guy had a girlfriend up until recently but they kind of broke things off. That's why him and my gf are going together.
There is an after-prom party that she wants me to go to so I can meet all her friends. So I'm happy she still wants to be with me but I still feel uneasy about the whole "my girlfriend going to prom with another guy" situation. Am I in the wrong for feeling this way? I mean it's not like I want her to go dateless and have a bad time at her prom.
If I were in your situation, I would just let her go to the prom with him, and I also would not show up at the after-prom party.
Why should I not go to the party? I dont want to make her upset. Plus I want to go anyway I'm not letting my girlfriend go to a party without me while hanging out with her date who may or may not try and get with her.

You SHOULD go. She invited you. She's your girlfriend. She wants you there; she just can't take you to the prom itself because of the school rule.
This very thing happened at my high school, which was a strict catholic girls' school. Only a couple of girls had to do this because they had older BFs, but they went with other guys because they didn't want to miss their prom.
Just forget about the other guy. Go to the party and have fun, and don't say another word about him.

Thank you. It makes me feel better hearing this from a girl's POV. I guess it isn't that big of a deal, I'm just jealous by nature but I won't ever be the AH boyfriend and show it. I'm going to the party with her.
Get out of your head. Stop thinking negative. Seriously. Turn it off.
You like her?
GO to the party with her.
Tell her you are happy she has a friend to go to prom with.
And love her up so much she won't think twice about the other guy.
If you get weird, she'll get weird.
So don't get weird.
(I agree... Not another word about him.)
You've got this.
Have fun!! ;-)
