Bringing someone from outside your school to the debs?

LegacyUser

Hi guys So I have a date to the debs which is in a few months but the problem is the guy who I'm bringing only knows me and doesn't know anyone at my school. Would this be really awkward? As I've read that bringing people who don't know anyone at your school can be awkward as they don't know anyone. Thanks

No it'll be grand and is the norm at the debs I went to (single sex schools lol)

Think about it some people will have bfs or gfs who are in different schools

Depends on the guy but I would generally say yes.

You'll go off with your friends, that's what happens.

These chaps then tend to gather together for some group support while chatting about football or whatever over endless pints.

I'm sure it'll be fine. Half the people in my class brought people from outside of the school when I had my debs, all the way back then. Chances are he'll get chatting to your friends, and you'll be wondering what you were so worried about

No you will be fine I went to a boarding school and my date knew nobody at my school.

Time Now Please

Go on, go for it, I am sure when the dust settles he will be fine.

I went to an all girls school, so all the dates were from outside the school. It'll be grand, he'll probably get chatting to some of the other guys during the meal and then be happy enough to chat to them all night. Just make sure that if you do go off with your friends that you don't just abandon him, he's there as your guest

No problem. You may as well get used to this scenario as you enter the real world. Going to social events, weddings etc. with some new person in your life will be a regular occurrence. Also of course it's important that you make any other person in the same situation welcome to your group. I find younger people understandably don't have the ability to engage in casual conversation with people outside their group. Or as it is often called the "very cold for the time of year, what do you think of Fegrie now" ****e talk. There's a knack to it that you will learn

Thanks for replies guys he is a sound lad and I'm also friends with a few of the lads in my year so I'm gonna tell them to make him feel welcome. So hopefully it'll be grand and a great night
