At my upcoming semi-formal I was just wondering if it would be ok to ask a friend for a dance, even though her bf will be there? That is if I get up the nerve to do it. Also would it be ok to ask a different friend for a dance who doesn't have a date to semi? Like what are the general guidelines with dancing with friends (btw both these friends I've had previous history with) or should I ask someone completely different like someone random on the dance floor? I guess it also doesn't help that I've never actually danced when i've gone to a dance before, though I would like to change that this time around!

I think it's fine. Does everyone know that you're just friends? (Although, it you have to work up the "nerve" to ask, you may hope that you are more than friends.) Even if everyone else doesn't know, it would be fine. Just respect the fact that you are not her bf. If her bf shows that he wants to cut in, let him. As for your second question, I think your dateless friend would be glad to go with you. If you're worried about the previous history, just don't talk about it. If she asks, say you want to put it behind you. If you don't want to put it behind you, you should probably stay away.
Wow, that was a lot of "if"s.

I'd be careful with the taken one, because she might take that the wrong way. She may think you're trying to get her back, and unless that's your intention, I'd be careful. Her boyfriend may get jealous and feel the need to duke out the beef. As for the other friend, if she doesn't have a date, she's fair game. But if you've had the "previous history" she may also take it the wrong way. Just explain to her that its just a dance as friends, that you want to keep the relationship as it is. Asking a random person could be an option, but going for people you know may be better. The random person may think you're a creep.

Ask her boyfriend when you get there. That would be the most respectful thing to do. If a friend is there w/ someone, you need to respect the other person. And if you had a gf that had "history" with a guy, and that guy asked her to dance, how would you feel. Put the shoe on the other foot.

Yes, it's perfectly acceptable to ask a girl that you know to dance even if she has a date.
Don't be surprised if some folks don't know this.
Asking a girl that you don't know to dance in front of her BF is probably not such a hot idea.

I know its okay, to ask a friend to dance. Its not like ur doing anything wrong. Its just ur friend and if ur friends dont support that then
maybe you should confront them about it, or to prevent any conflicyts maybe just act ahead of time.

If you do it with class, it's fine. Ask the girl without a date. No biggie. For the girl who has a bf, ask her bf if it would be okay. Most likely he won't care.

Yes it is...as long as you ask your dates permission. Otherwise, stay with your date. This is the night you are honioring her.
