Exactly
And it really doesn't matter who ya bring tbh. The brother just brought someone he was scoring with at the time. They were close like but by the end of that year they weren't even talking to eachother and don't talk to each other either now! And everyone gets so drunk that really the date is only for photos and just to say you brought a 'mint wan' or a 'mint lad'. I'm just probably gonna go mad in the club in the next few weeks, shift as many as I can...get close to as many as possible after and bring one :L I know I know I'm a heartless f*cker 0 -

don't be worried about asking anyone because a lot of guys and girls are dying to go to one and would be really flattered if you ask them just ask before it's too late and they're going to someone elses which is what has happened me :P 0

Mine is the 9th of August, have the suit and the whole lot got, going with a girl I went to School with the last 6 years (and have been sneakily shifting on the side
:P) I'm looking forward to it, should be a bit of crack anyway! 0 -
Mines on the 8th of August. Bought my dress yesterday and will be bringing the BF (It'll be almost 3 years at that stage). I went to his, as did a few of my friends and I think most of my friends are planning on asking the boys who asked them. Tis easier! Hope there's no drama. I spent ages at the BF's debs talking to his friend who was crying about the girl he asked:( Hoping for a better night in August! 0

Samesies :P
No dress yet but I'll hopefully have it sorted in the next few days, I might get it custom made online because I'm awkwardly tiny and I probably won't find one to fit otherwise.0 -

i've been on and off shifting a guy since last Halloween, was gonna ask him but a girl in my year asked him so they could do "swaps" on a night out when i wasn't finished the lc . . so yeah now i dunno who to ask because i'm still seeing this guy :L
i'd be happy to bring a friend as long as they don't expect anything.. 0 -

i have a date but he's more of a friend than anything else
my dress is a maxi and sorta royal blue. :eek: never knew the colour blue suited me til i tried it on. it's lovely.
it had those fake diamond thingies on the straps. so i got them taken off. hate diamonte. unless it's neat. there was just a bit too much for me. :P
probably won't wear the dress again. :L i'll just throw it in my wardrobe afterwards probably.

Had my grad a couple of nights ago. Such a brilliant night. None of the graduates, parents or teachers left the dancefloor all night, or stopped drinking. Yet no-one was in a drunken heap on the floor, everyone was just so happy. Such an unbelievable night.
Really hope I get to wear my dress again though!
For anyone wondering I got my dress online with no hassle.
Postage from Asia was only 30 euro I think and came in perfect condition within only one week.
A few people in my year had problems with dresses but as far as I know all them were ordered from America.
Hope everyone enjoy's their night. 0 -

Yeah that's really good advice actually! I got one last year from America for my boyfriend's debs and had to pay customs and the like on it. I knew about it before I ordered so I knew what I'd be paying, but it pretty much doubled the price of the dress (it was still cheap though :P)
I got mine from China and there was NOTHING on their website about it. Trying to get them to deliver my dress, sort the payment AND study for tests in 6th year was NOT fun!:rolleyes: Best of luck getting your dress 0 -
Mine's on the 18th of July! Not long now
Have the suit, which I've gladly been able to wear to a couple of weddings and our grad so it hasn't been idle
Date sorted too, asked a girl I've known since primary school but only just got close too :P
I'm really looking forward to it, except it's gonna be like a four hour drive on a bus to our venue
Where are ye all goin'? Ours is in Vanity Nightclub in Carrickmacross, Co. Monaghan - looks like a savage place! Just far away though..
But bring it on 0 -

Yeah the site I got mine from just said something about possible customs charges, I had to look into it all and calculate it myself! Oh I've already got my dress for this year, well ahead of the pack! :P0 -
Hey guys, my debs is next wednesday and this may sound stupid but I was just wondering what the sort of protcol is for the day..
As a dude, is it some sort of unwritten rule that I have to go pick her up at her house and bring into town and stuff? Or is that just for someone you're actually going out with? Because I presume her ma will want pictures and all that jazz.
But then what do I do with my car keys?
Like, how does it work exactly?0 -

usually you go over to the girl's house. have the corsage and maybe chocolates for her mam or flowers or something. if your parents want they could go over too and then you can take all the photos and all that stuff. then just head to town or the hotel 0

I've finally decided who I'll ask. My grad is on August 23rd I think. I'm going to rent a suit (I still haven't stopped growing) and I'm asking her tomorrow night. We've been friends forever ( we were each others first friends) and we went to montessori together and also through primary school. We've stayed great friends and I thought it'd be cool to ask her seeing as we pretty much spent our childhoods together. Hopefully she'll say yes!
I don't even mind if I don't go to hers! We've loads of pictures of us two playing together as kids and it'll be added to the 'collection'.
Ye might think it cheesy, but hopefully she'll agree to go with me!
Wish me luck lads! 0 -

My Debs is on the 8th of August in the Carnegie Court Hotel, Swords
Absolutely buzzing for it (Mainly because I'm going to be on TV :P) I got picked to appear on Dream Debs yeowwwwwww :pac:
Have my dress, clutch, shoes, jewellery, hair, makeup, tan and nails all sorted! It's just the waiting that's killing me right now 0 -
Me and my date have planned that'll I'll pick her up at her's myself and then I'll drive us into town to get the bus. But I'm stupidly worriying what I'm gonna do with my car/car keys and getting home the next day?
Like, should I pop in home (my house is on the way) and get my mam to drive us in? It saves both her from having to go with me to her house and me having to leave the car in town and probably not being able to drive it home.
Is that like, acceptable?
God, I probs sound so stupid. :L 0 -
It sounds quite sensible to me, saves you worrying about your car.Me and my date have planned that'll I'll pick her up at her's myself and then I'll drive us into town to get the bus. But I'm stupidly worriying what I'm gonna do with my car/car keys and getting home the next day?

Plus your mother might like a look at your date in all her finery / get a pic of the pair of you / share a little in the excitement! 0 -
If anyone has been to a debs organised by Debs Ireland before could you please tell me the purpose of the "diary room". I am familiar with Big Brother and how the diary room works.... But, who will we be talking to in the diary room.... 0

Ask her for coffee and "catch up" over facebook, if that goes well ask her to debs over coffee, sorted!Mine is on the 7th of September :P I know who I want to ask but never talk to her anymore and honestly don't know how to contact her..Bar Facebook. Asking by Facebook would be fairly cheap I suppose Grr..What to do! 0 -

Go to her house right now. Wait outside until she comes out, all night if necessary. To show her how much you care, send her facebook messages every ten minutes, all night. You'll want to say things like
"I know we've grown distant lately but I've always felt we had a special connection"
"I don't usually do this kind of thing but I can't bear to be apart from you any longer"
"PLEASE JUST RESPOND, IT'S BEEN 20 MINUTES"
"You're talking to other guys, aren't you? This is just like you, I should've known you couldn't be trusted, you slut. I'll never contact you again."
"please respond, I didn't mean that, I was just hurt and I wasn't thinking, please forgive me"
"Look, I've been outside your house for the last three days. I just want to talk, please give me a chance. I felt something special between us and I know you felt it too. If you can look me in the eye and tell me you don't have feelings for me I'll never bother you again."
"Ok, I think maybe you haven't been getting my messages. I'm just going to climb in your window so we can talk. See you soon xxxx"
"I know I surprised you but I think the shotgun was a slight overreaction. But it doesn't matter, the surgery went well and the doctors say I might walk again. I forgive you. Unfortunately I didn't get a chance to ask you in person, and I know facebook isn't the best way to ask this but it's my only option right now. Will you go to the debs with me?"
"What do you mean "account deactivated"??"0 -

But PF, someone must have been posing as you, as when I serenaded you(or whom I thought to be you) earlier, you cordially accepted. This bodes some strange eruption in this state...0 -
