You don't HAVE to do a damn thing, even if she wanted a relationship. You do nice things because you want to, not because you have to. Anyone who thinks different isn't worth it in the first place.
What school's homecoming is in January?
Seriously don't pay for her. It's a waste of your precious time and money, you deserve a lot better than her
Cancel
Or no you don't have to pay for her. I wouldn't want to go with a girl that said that to me. I would not go or go alone, it's better than being with somebody that cold. It will ruin your night
Get your money back and cancel on that bitch or better yet get your money back and "forget" to show ! What the hell does that even mean "I want to stop being friends with you after the dance" Unless she just found out that you are an axe murderer or something like that , don't bother being "friends " with her now. F the dance. You can take some one else or go alone or go another time with someone who appreciates your company. What a rude bitch!
Why is everyone assuming the girl did something wrong? There's nothing wrong with not having feelings for someone. Maybe she thought offering to still go with him was the nice thing to do because he wouldn't have to be alone- these are teenagers we're talking about, you can't expect perfect judgment from them. The OP is free to not go or go alone or take someone else- that's what he probably should do. Being rejected sucks, but the girl probably doesn't deserve this level of hate and blame.
So in your world "stop being friends after the dance" is considered OK? And expecting someone else to pay for it?
It could be that she felt sorry for him and accepted it and then awkwardly told him there is nothing between them in case she thought he thinks otherwise. But from his point of view it does seem rude.
We don't have the background of whether they were even friends before he asked her. Could be they hardly interacted when he asked her to the dance and, upon getting to know him further, she just isn't interested in him as a person. Maintaining a friendship requires energy (at least from an introvert perspective), and if you aren't interested in a person, it isn't worth the effort. Maybe she should have said they'd still be friends even if it isn't true just to be polite, but then again, there's merit in not leading him on and clearly stating boundaries. Also, we don't know if she's expecting him to pay or if he's just assuming he has to. If I was in her position I'd be assuming we'd each pay for our own dinner. I actually come from the same state as the OP, so I know that this is an assumption a Washingtonian girl might make. Assumptions about who pays for dates aren't consistent around here. Again, we don't know if there really was a stated agreement. I'm inclined to give the girl the benefit of the doubt because teenagers are inclined to exaggerate the drama of rejection and we don't have much information. Again, rejection sucks, I wouldn't say "ydi," but the girl doesn't deserve hate in the comment section just for rejecting someone.
"It could be that she felt sorry for him and accepted it and then awkwardly told him there is nothing between them in case she thought he thinks otherwise." If that were the case then she should cancel things before the event, not immediately after.

Or tell her you aren't feeling this dance with her and don't pay for her.
Sorry op, but really you don't have to... Find someone who respects you!
