Damn it

I asked him. I asked him if he was going to Prom. He said no. I asked him if he wanted to. He said no. I told him that it would be fun; that we had a limmo and we needed to fill it up. And in his small quiet voice he said, "No, I don't plan on going and I really don't want to. Maybe next year."
"Next year, then," I answered.

Damn it.

Does he dislike me or does he really not want to go? I mean Junior Prom only happens once in a life time. I feel bad that he's going to miss it...
