Prom date.. a Friend or more ???

I'm a boy and i have prom is in a few months. Due to events that happened in yr 8 -9 ( bullying) i developed severe social anxiety and have therefore never had people i could call close friends. However in class i am close with certain people but i couldn't hang out with them outside (because of my anxiety). So....there's a girl in my class who i like but shes always patronising whenever i do something by saying things like awww etc. So i asked her to prom and she said yes, but i think she wants to go as friends and i don't know how to act and what to say that might make things awkward, cos i do really like her. She has asked me to sit with her group of friends but i feel that they're too judgy and therefore i decline. I know that if i do something embarrassing, like going in for a kiss, she'd tell all her friends. What should i do?? Any opinion is welcomed. Thanks.

Tbh I am a shy person, and can't ask a girrl out etc. I mean, the only thing you can do is try though. Am I right?

You got balls I find it hard to talk to girls but I have anxiety too due to events I am really trying to ask this girl to prom but She thinks me as a friend idk what to do


Ask her jokingly whether shes going to prom with anyone, if she says no then say wouldn't it be fun if both us went together. That way ur not asking her out directly. This is what i kinda did and she said said yes.

You're brave to even ask her out in the first place, so talking to her can't be as bad. To be honest boys and girls hardly ever go out at prom as friends, so surely she must have some feelings, if she was going as a friends she would also be going with other people.
