What if my friends don't like my prom date?

[veryawkward]

Hi I'm a Junior from an all girls school and we have to look for our prom dates from other school (like all boys school too). I'm from Philippines, btw. I attended several soirées and I've dated a lot of guys from private schools but I didn't find one. Now that I'm in junior high, and I'm having my prom next year, I am desperately looking for one. My guy bestfriend from a public school approached me and said that he can be my partner for the prom. I agreed. But my friends were not agreeing to it and they said that I can do better than this (Or, I have to find a better guy from a private school like mine). I'm a bit mad at them for discriminating my soon to be prom date. What should I tell my friends? Thank you!:what::what::yawn:

Walk up to them and say "YOU DON'T OWN ME!".

Nah, just tell them it is your decision not theirs and that you wouldn't say that about who they chose

[Grand Admiral Thrawn]

You tell them that you like him. Doesn't matter if they share that opinion. It's nobody's business who you take the prom but yours. Honestly, if a friend of mine said that to me, I'd be more than a little ticked off.

Tell them, they gave you a choice. Hence, if that guy is your choice, they should certainly respect it. Otherwise it's no more a choice but an imposition.
If they think there's a better guy for you, tell them to choose that guy(the one they may say it's good for you) themselves.

It's just a prom, go with the guy you like and feel comfortable with. Do they dislike him just because he's from a public school? That's a bit wrong, in my opinion...

Who cares what they think, they arent going with him so just tell them to mind their own business tbh

[Tarannosaurus]

Tell them you're old enough to make your own decisions, and that you're going with your friend from the public school. Nothing wrong with that. And since you already agreed he might be annoyed with you going back on your word. Besides you'd probably have more fun with him than with some guy from a private school that you've never talked to before.

thank you guys for those reply. I already said that to my friends but they aren't really agreeing with me. Like they are saying that there's a lot of guys out there.

Tell them this

"That's the point. They're plenty of guys out there. And I chose him."

Why exactly are they looking down on him? Is it because of his looks, personality or background?

Remind them there's also a lot girls out there you could be friends with instead.
