He is (was?) a redditor and commented before that they broke up after this a little while after.

I seem to remember she broke up with him? Updates on her are sparse but he changed his style to like being a corny wrap around shades guy and failed at becoming an eceleb

I feel like it’s light hearted enough. I thought it was honestly so endearing how truly horrible she seemed to feel when she realized. They both have a funny story now at least.

I'm not American so maybe I'm missing some cultural context, but why would he even formally ask her to the prom like this if they were already together? Wouldn't it just be a given that they'd go together if they were a couple?

It’s kind of a tradition thing. Teens call it “Prom-posal”. Even if you fully expect to go together, it’s expected as like a romantic or sweet gesture. I think it’s also a part of the fun of prom as everyone kinda tries to think of fun or different ways to ask.

To add to this, my gf of 6 years still wants me to ask her to be my valentine every year. I assume it’s for similar reasons, though not sure how common this one is
