Did I do the right thing?

Today (the day before prom) I found out that my prom date was planning on ditching me for another girl as soon as we got to prom. I asked him about it and he was a complete jerk and said whatever. He had been acting weird all week so I knew something was up. A reliable source told me about this and after his actions I decided to take his name off the prom list; now he cant go. I feel bad about doing that, but I left him after confronting him about this and he didnt even try to come after me to talk about it. Did I do the right thing or should I still have taken him? He is an underclassman. He has his proms to go to. One of my guy friends is goning to take me now--he lost his date too.

Of course you did, serves him right !
You definately should not have taken him. However, taking his name off the list is a low blow... you just ruined his prom! Revenge could have been sweeter than just taking his name off the list. You could have totally humiliated him in another way.
Now who are YOU going to go with? If this was your date for the prom you should have let the powers that be know that he will not be attending with you. Perhaps the girl he was going to ditch you for can take him now.
you did the right thing. he's a jerk-off a*shole
It sounds like you want someone to salve your conscience. What does it matter? It's a done deal.
Oh you did the right thing BIG time. The nerve of him. And I'm So Sorry he was a jerk to you. He could have ruined your big night. But not now. You have a darn good time. Go with friends. In a group and forget everything ok.!!!!
yes you did do the right thing let nobody make a fool of you like that no matter how they are if it is treating you like that probably not a nice person to be going with anyway
you did the right thing
I take it that he doesn't go to your school? Otherwise I don't know how you could keep him from going. Actually I think you stood up for yourself and should be proud. If he wants to go with this other girl, then he'll have to go as her date or not at all.
You did the right thing honey, you just told all the guys you are not to be messed with, but respected! Good for you!
That is rude of him to not talk to you about it. The only thing is he cannot go and enjoy his night of prom. EVERYONE remembers their prom night and he wouldn't be able to go. Maybe because you're mad that he did a bad gesture on his part you made that move. But you can always be the bigger person and let him enjoy his prom night and you forget about everything and enjoy yours. It's good when everyone just forget about everything and enjoy their night with their friends. Don't take him, go with a bunch of girlfriends, he can go with whomever he wants - just make sure you look hotter than her ;)
Of course you did the right thing! What an ass! He doesn't deserve to go if he tried to do something that low. Hope u have fun at prom! :]
well.. if it's his prom too that's sort of a bitchy move.. but impulse decisions i guess lol - i prbly would of done the same thing... well whats done is done, oh well have fun at prom =)
You did the right thing... Don't even think twice cause you would have felt worse if you had taken him there and he left you for someone else..... I hope you get someone else to go with you and best of luck with your prom...........
you did the right thing and if u want to go to the prom and dont have a date, go with friends
you did the right thing. Its your prom not his, Why spare his feelings so your special night could be ruined?
of course you did the right thing. I'm sorry that he was going to do that I know it must have hurt you. Hope you have fun at your prom!! Don't even think about him
hell ya u did the right thing!!
You did the right thing he was a jerk i hope you at least went to prom and did have fun
I don't think you did the right thing, just because he made a bad choice by not wanting to go with you after he said he would. You shouldn't spoil his fun because it is not a nice thing to do and also it makes it look like you are jealous, vengeful and a b****. And if he still wanted to go with you what was the problem in the first place, how reliable was your source, are you sure they didn't just mis-hear.
u should've never taken off his name of the list, maybe before he invited u to the prom, he was thinking of inviting her, but maybe she had another date, and that date dumped her, and he knew about it, and he ditched u
thats taking it too far. he may have been an asshole but you cant just take his name off the prom list. thats a little overboard.
good 4 u ! liars,cheaters & players set themselves up for such results.glad you gave him what he needed. is there a guy that doesnt like the jerk? if so take him 2 prom.
good. he deserves it.
You were right...sounds like a jerk
well NO you really had no right to take his name off the prom list.......But what he did definately wasnt cool either.... ..You are nice person thats why you are feeling bad.....Two wrongs really dont make a right....You were hurt .....next time let the person know your feelings and leave it at that..... Ps. put his name back on the list..(how do you have the power to take someone off the list anyway?) I know you are hurt but be a stand up human being and walk on
Hells yeah, you did the right thing! This way you let him know you are not just some skank who will allow a guy to treat her this way. He should respect you if he wants to have the honor of being your prom date!
To be honest, I don't mean to hurt your feelings, but taking his name of the list was way too much & it makes you no less of a jerk than he is. & all the people on the list who agree are just as bad, because you really didn't know for sure that he was going to take someone else, maybe he was mad at you for doubting him, I would have been too. Obviously giving him no prom at all was not only a bad move, but it was mean, deceptive, and cruel on your part & you should be asshamed. Prom can only come once in a lifetime & some people I knew have always regretted not going to prom. (i'm now in college)
