He is going abroad

Dear Agony Bunny,
I have a male friend who is one of my best friends. Everyone used to think we were dating and even suggested it to us, but we decided to stay friends. Sadly,he’s moving to a new country for university and this is our final year together. We have prom coming up and i think it would be great to go with him. However, im scared that he might see it different. I really dont want to ruin the friendship we have. Should i ask him? Or is our friendship more important?

Dear friend,
Although your friendship is more important to you, you should definitely ask him for prom. Just let him know before hand that you don't want to go out with a random guy to prom. And this prom means a lot to you as this is your final year together. Be sure to ask him before any other girl asks him.
