writes:So I was asked to prom today by a guy who I consider a good friend for a couple of years and I hang out with him a lot in school. All year he has helped me in a class I have been struggling in. I could tell he has been building up to asking me to prom for a couple of weeks now, and I was kind of avoiding it because I have no idea if I want to go with him. I really like him as a friend and and grateful for him being there for me when I needed help this year. I told him I would think about it, but now that I think about it, thats a dumb answer. My feelings towards him are confused now and we are both going to college next year so I am not really looking for a serious relationship. I also have some self esteem issues so I am wondering why he asked me over someone else. What should I do, should I go to prom with him or not?

 Here's my question: are you hoping to go to the prom with somebody else? If there's no one else you're hoping to go with, I say sure. Go to the prom with him. Maybe you'll end up having a really great time!
Don't let your self-esteem get in the way. He asked YOU because he wants to go with YOU. It's a great and total compliment and you know that he's been building up the confidence to do it. He's probably been eying you for awhile and just wants the chance to have fun with you in a different setting for once. And hey, it's just prom - that's not a "serious relationship" date. He didn't ask you out to be his girlfriend, just his date to the prom. And, if a relationship comes up, just say "I like you too, but we're both going to different colleges and I don't really want to get involved with someone who I'm just going to have to say goodbye to".
The prom is a memory you'll have forever, and if there's no one else who you're thinking about going with, I say just go for it. If he's a good friend then you know that you'll have fun with him! Good luck, sweetness.
