For those going to prom...I need to know how you would feel about this?

OK so I was just in the bathroom here at school and I overheard a girl talking to her friend about prom. A guy she really likes had asked her to go but she can't afford a dress. She said she went to some free place but there was nothing left to choose from! I don't know this girl well but I know her mom died last yr. and I heard her dad is an alcoholic. I don't think she has many friends. Also, she is a senior so it's the only prom she will have! Anyway....I have many dresses I have from other dances and events I have been in and I would love to give her any dress from my closet she wants and she could keep it. I had this idea right away she could come to my house and try them all on cuz I know my parents would never mind for me to give this girl what she needs. Even if she had to get it altered I would help. Idk how to bring this up to her tho. She doesn't even know I know anything about it. And...I don't want to offend her. I feel really so sad for her. She was crying and it almost made me cry! Well, does anyone have any ideas what to do? I have noticed ppl tease her about her clothes and hair and stuff so I would feel awful to make her feel like a charity case. I would like to act on this ASAP cuz our prom is May.1 and this idea of mine was impulsive and you know sometimes impulsive ideas just need to have another viewpoint. How would it make you feel if someone approached you about this? Thank you for reading and for any suggestions:) Have a great day!For those going to prom...I need to know how you would feel about this?
that is such a kind and generous thing to do. i think its an amazing thing for someone to help someone out, just as long as you don't treat her a charity case im sure she will appreciate that someone kind and does wants to help her. Just speak to her about prom and then say Oh really you can have one of mine...e.t.c.... if she does except your offer. Maybe help her out with ideas for her hair and make up aswel cause she sounds as if shes not miss popular..... HUN I DONT KNOW YOU BUT IM SO PROUD....bless you.For those going to prom...I need to know how you would feel about this?
Talk to her friend first, who will know her much better. Tell her you overheard them talking and want to help out. She'd know if it would offend her and she'd also know how to bring it up.





It's a very kind thing you're doing. The world needs more kind-hearted strangers like you :)
This is so nice of you.





Just be sensetive about it, if that's the situation she's in. You don't want her to think you pity her, just that you're being nice. Be careful about what you say, something along the lines of what Tyler said should be good.
Just go up to her and say that you overheard that she can't find a dress and tell her that maybe you have one that she would like.
Just approach her alone, so she won't be embarrassed in front of people, and tell her that you over heard and that you have loads of spare dresses she could try on if she wanted. If she immediately says no, just let it go, don't keep pushing the point. If she changes her mind i'm sure she'll approach you.
Maybe you know someone who knows this girl well (like the other girl in the bathroom), who can act as a ';go between';. Let her know about the conversation you overheard. This third girl can refer the other girl to you. Or, maybe after the third girl contacts the other girl, you'll feel more comfortable about reaching out to her.





You are a very nice person. May you live long.
You are such a sweet girl. Seriously.





If you both have Myspaces or Facebooks, I'd definitely send her a message saying something like, I heard you talking the other day and I know it really isn't my business, but I would really love to give you a dress so you could go to prom. If you don't, give her a note and ask her to read it at home, so she won't feel embarrassed at school.





She would really appreciate the thought! My boyfriend is a senior and I'm a junior and I couldn't go to my junior prom because I didn't have and couldn't afford a second dress. You have no idea how much this would mean to her, seriously.





If someone did that to me, I'd honestly be pretty intimidated and a little embarrassed but very, very thankful. I'd definitely reach out to her, it would make a world of a difference.





Best wishes, hon! Keep doing good. xoxo
