writes:Dear Cupid, basically i'm really confused at the moment. I am taking this girl who I've liked for a long time to my end of year prom and was really looking forward to it. However I have always been wary whether the feelings were mutual and just earlier today I saw on facebook that she is now in a relationship with another boy. I now do not know what to do as prom will not be the same anymore as I did really like her. Shall I talk to her about it or just go along with it? Thanks

Well, obviously she can't go to the prom with someone who isn't her b/f. Speak to her. Try not to be snarky. Try not to say "oh, and just exactly when were you planning on telling me this?" no matter how much you want to.
But most of all, don't wind up with her cancelling on you with two hours notice, or simply flaking with no notice at all, and going to the prom with her b/f and leaving you dateless. You need to speak to her, agree that you will not be doing the prom together, and organize another date as quick as you can.
Maybe she'll set yu up with a friend, if you play it cool.

 People update their relationship status for various reasons, apart from the obvious one. 1) To attract attention and make friends say, "Who is it?" 2) To make someone jealous. 3) To ward off unwanted attention. 4) When they are under the mistaken assumption that they are in a relationship while they're not. Pretend to have not noticed. But if you're sort of close, you could jokingly ask her, "So who's the new prince charming, huh?" I know it will hurt you within but what if she's referring to you? Do you think that's a possibility? If she mentions someone else, don't let your feelings show. Just smile and congratulate her, even if your heart breaks. But I'm hoping that she's actually referring to you.

 I would not get into it just yet. Could be she put it up there to ward off some dude or impress another.
Personally, I would let it be.
Do you think she believes she and you are in a relationship because you asked her to the Prom?
