Whom do i take to the debs

McMuppit

I'm a leaving cert student and i'm worried about not having anyone to take to the debs. The exams are getting fairly close and therefore i have no social life. I know its still fairly far away from the debs. But I'm worried, most have got a partner, i'm in an all boys school, and know little to no girls what so ever and i've never had a girl friend.

I'ts no like i'm a loner or anything, im lovin school at the mo, its has been the best year sofar and i've plenty of good mates. Just not of the female kind.

So does anyone what i could do to get a good lookin girl for the debs
Any help much appreciated

using words line "whom" wont help mate

go for the ugly chick and trade up!

Exactly what Boomer said

OfflerCrocGod

How about saving a lot of money and NOT going. That's the sensible option, if I were to choose again I wouldn't bother going to mine - it was a total waste of time and amazingly boring. Then again I have the social grace of a stunned herring.

Shower?


serriously tho...


Bringing dates can Be Very over rated, if noone knows them, you basicly have to babysit them the entire night.

I went to two Debs, my own and A friends, my own was terriable because she didnt know anyone there so i had to babysit her the entire night


The friends one was Grand, because i Knew loads of the lads there,

Ask some luverly boards lady, a foxy older chick would well impress your mates. *AhemcoughBeruthielcough*

Sorry- something in my throat.

What about getting a friend to set you up or get a hot girl's number from someone and charm her through the fine art of text?
Failing that,do your mates have sisters?:)

what about a friend of some of your mates' dates?

but like everyone has said. taking a stranger is very hard work as you as you gotta look after them all night, in saying that though, taking somone from your own year is kinda pointless imo. its better if people bring people from other schools/years,
i took a girl from the year below me and we had a great time...

Cianan2

This kinda reminds me of someone i know, for some reason. Anyway...advice! You're sitting your leaving this year,as am i. My debs aint til about September/October, and i havent got aon duine in mind yet, im sure you have plenty of time to think up your possible candidates for the night(i.e. the summer?) When is your debs on?

I'd take the biggest slut....might as well have some fun.

yer all seems to be missing the point here - isn't everyone going to be absolutely phlootered as this thing anyway. at our debs it was like a scuzzy sat nite out, if ya went home with who ya went there wit, ya didnt make much of the night. bring anyone, but suffice to say there will be a lot of photos taken, so make it a specially photogenic person

Worst case scenario - Your coursin.

Yeah I think asking you friend to set you up is a good idea. I think most girls usually jump at the chance to go to a Debs, especially if she's in 5th year.

As someone already said, it's always a good idea to bring someone that knows at least 2 other girls there. Girls do have a strong ability to talk to other girls randomly and at length but I still think it's important she has a friend there.

By the sounds of it, you really only interested in some photo candy. I imagine, as soon as the booze gets flowing, you'll ditch her and start messing about with your buddies, and leaving her to her own devices. So bringing a girl you're not interested in isn't a bad idea. Although, someone else scoring your date could be a lot less funny then it sounds.

So my advice? Get one of your mate's date's friend to go with you.

Go stag thats what I did(and I`m a girl!) and it worked out to be cheaper, you will have no one to babsit and more freedom. It is over rated though.

8bi1ctzegfouva

is your name sam by the way?

I'd love to say that I didn't think like that back then but to be honest, I did take someone for their looks and such, but it really doesn't matter now.

But to be honest mate, 6 years on from then, and I don't even know where my debs photos are. I know I don't have them with me and that they are probably back in my parents place somewhere with all the other junk.

It really doesn't matter. Really. It isn't the night you always remember that some people say it is, it's just another piss up in a tux. If you go to college there will be many many more. It gets real old, real fast. Better to go with some close friends and just enjoy your night out and not worry about having a woman at your side. It really isn't a big deal.

But then, it's easy to say that now 6 years on.

Worst.advice.ever

If worst comes to worst, just ask someone to set you up. Are you goin on some sort of leaving cert tholiday, you might find someone there? There's always someone you can bring. So, get motiated and start talking to random birds next time you're at a partay!

8bi1ctzegfouva

everyones debs are usually crap/tacky, but its something you gotta do.
i am so glad i went to mine, it was such a laugh, **** food, expensive booze, **** band followed by **** dj, but the limo made up for it.
you gotta get a limo, nothing like driving down to the curragh in a convoy of 5 limos getting locked, shouting abuse out the tinted windows at poor random passers-by.

melekalikimaka

rent ahooker...what your friends dont know cant hurt ya, and having your way with her in the place of your debs...and hopefully getting caught will put you down as a legend in the minds of you classesmates for eternity, or bring a guy mate from outside school and just get wasted with him,,,either is good...am I a bad person?

Nightwish

u have all summer 2 find someone. when ur leaving is over u will start 2 regain a social life and u never know who u might meet.if all else fails get a friend of one of your mates girlfriends so u wont have 2 babysit her all night.
on the other hand the debs night is totally over rated. my boyfriend was a good bit older than me and he knew no one at it and i had to spend a lot of my time making sure he didnt feel ignored.

petes

Everyone here seems to have had a crap debs. Mine was great. The girl I took I ended up going out with for a while. To the OP. Dont worry about it. I didnt have a date for the debs until the night we all went out after the exams were finished, so dont stress out over it. At the same time don't start going up to randomgirls on the street asking them to your debs. Try for a friend of a friend. Best way to go imo.

I was thinking the same thing, mine rocked!

Hmmm, I could give you a number for a slutty girl? Good-looking if you're into skangers...

JK.. I didn't go to my debs. It was badly organised, and there was no-one in the school year that I wanted to bring, and I didn't really know that many girls outside school at the time. Anyone who went to it said it was complete crap, but having said that, I regret not going. Like others have said, it's something you should experience.
I went out with a girl a couple of years later who had been to countless debs.. and as far as I can remember she had fun at all of them.. (kev awaits jokes at ex-girlfriends expense..)

rubadub

I was sort of seeing a girl at the time and took her, but she had a group of mates a few of them were already seeing some of my mates too so the whole lot wanted to go. This meant there was about 7 or 8 couples, 3 real couples and the rest were matched up with no real akwardness, just like a usual piss-up but in fancy clothes.

i didn't bother going,waited for the engineering ball in college,twas all in good fun.
if ya really really wanna go(first of all why?) go to a club,make a friend ask her.usually,in my exp,girls love things like debs(and in some extreme cases guys) and therefore say yes

Stench Blossoms

Hey if u only want someone for pictures i'll do it lol. i'd love to wear my dress again.

not going to the debs is an option, not ideal, but an option

this is not 1950s america where you graduate from high school and people drive to lookout point and make out, its sort of boring,

yea they do jump at any opportunity, but if I could go back in time, I would of saved and not have gone. What a boring night it turned out to be

the smiley one

I'm doin the LC and I don't see what the big deal is with going on your own! I was all set-up to go in a group a girl-friends and as it happened, a friend of mine in school asked me to go (its actually perfect cuz we r really good friends and no awkwardness, minding etc.....) And then all my friends were like "but if you're going with someonethen..OMG what will we do!" and they ended up buying two tickets each (while I got mine paid for - also another advantage ). I just don't get it.

(ok so if worst comes to worst bring any girl that you know that you think is remotly attractive - it's amazing what the right dress in the right colour with the right make-up can do..........)

Heh. Legend.

Myself, I went alone. Enjoyed myself. Go by yourself, and enjoy it. Who gives a damn what they think. Remember; it'll be the last time you see most of them. So go, have fun, and good luck.

Only Human

I had the same problem. I kept on thinking about it for so long that I forgot to buy a ticket and now I can't get one anymore. Problem solved and it saved me about €140. Keep thinking! Besides you never know who you'll meet or what will happen over the summer.

Same as myself. I went to my debs on my own, had an ok time. Twas a bit nervy an stuff at first, cos there were only a couple of us who didn't go wit anyone, but once the night properly got goin most people just scattered from their dates anyway and just drank wit their mates for most of the night!!

I also went to a debs the following year, long-story short I was someone from that school's date and only knew her through friends of friends... Anyway, only knew bout 6 ppl there, but it turned out to be a brilliant night, but there ya go.

It doesn't really matter if you go with someone or not, just try to have a good time either way.

Le Rack

My debs isnt for a year yet, I'm still in fifth year, but I'v asked who I'm taking, we went out for a while and are now best friends and he's never gonna have a debs cuz he's from England but didn't finish school when he came over here he started working instead and he's really excited! he's been planning my dress for me and all!!!!
But the best we dont have to worry bout whether either of us are with someone at the time cuz we're the best of friends and we'll be able to have a good time regardless so I'd say rebuild your social life make a good friend and take her, gaurenteed a laugh and maybe more!

cletus

Its been a while since my debs, but from what i remember no girl will turn down an oppertunity to go to a debs (as long as they havent been asked already)

Just ask well in advance, give them time to sort out a dress and all the rest

Larianne

No, definately go to your Debs i think everyone should. Fair enough it can be ****, mine was. But its the chance you gotta take. You don't want to not go and then regret it. It isn't some life changing experience that you HAVE TO go to but I think its a good way to closing the chapter of your life which is the hell of secondary school! Just don't go crazy spending money on it. I went with a guy from my class so i only had to pay for my ticket. i bought my dress in A-wear the week before for £40 and it looked great. And my date bought me loads drink. Guys have even less expense (and hassle) hiring the suit.

Who to ask.. sure you'll be getting a job surely during the summer and will find a girl to go with. Then there's your friends, I'm sure they have girlfriends who have mates or even girl friends. Or there's cousin's who have friends. Loads choices.. don't worry, it's better to not make a big deal about it and yuo are less likely to be disappointed. It's only one night of your life...

you'll have better ones!

taby

Basically i took someone i barely knew to my debs and ended up almost baby sitting all night. I'd recommend just going with a few mates in likewise situation but if ya do become mates with a girl and think she'd be fun to drag along than you'd have best of both worlds.

Debs are worthwhile expereinces. I don't think you need to have a date tho and i wish that the option of just going with ur mates was more open to people than rushing around asking anyone and than regreting who ya took.

ANY GIRL THAT IS NOT YOUR COUSIN My cousin tried to get her mum to ask my mum if my brother would go with her. Luckily both mothers and my brother thought this was the worst thing they ever heard. In fact I told my brother about it and he nearly died. His face went a really funny colour anyway!

I went to my debs, nearly 10 years ago and I have to honestly say it was s**te. That said at the time I was having a bad time with my then bf and none of my friends had dates so they didn't go. It wasn't much fun, but I think I profited from it as most of my extended family invited themselves over as I was getting ready and they gave me money, and I don't think I spent much of it. My ex was 4 years older than me and worked full time so he went to the bar for the most part. Especially as I was only 16 and looked much younger.

For some weird reason my debs was held at the start of 6th year instead of after the exams. So there wasn't really much to celebrate.

You obviously want to go, so go for it. But don't worry about it too much, the best thing to do is to go with someone who has friend's going. Just ask your one of your friends to set you up with their date's friend, who would probably love to go too.

Myth - some people do, but most don't

I've been to three debs' (debs's?) now - two with boyfriends, one with a friend. Mine is this September and I can't wait! Many of my single friends are freaking out though cos they don't have anyone to bring. I'd say your best bet is to just buy two tickets for the debs and see what happens - chances are you'll find someone to bring over the summer, even if it's just as a friend. If you havea summer job, go on holiday, or even just go out during the summer, you'll probably meet some girls. And trust me, girls like to be asked to someones debs! Better to take someone you know you get on with rather than a hot stranger though, in my opinion - if they're sound and you get on well you'll have a fun night. It's a good idea to have them knowing at least one other girl there, if possible - maybe you and a friend should ask two friends at the same time, if you know what I mean. Good luck!

I went to a few debs back in the day...one was mine, the other two were mates. At my one, myself and the present-ex fought for some unknown reason. I have to say I enjoyed one of my friends one the best, though that might have been down to bargaining the bus driver to stop at the offo for half an hour before we went to the Curragh.

It doesn't matter who you bring to your debs. I'd go with some of the advice below...bring someone that knows some of the others there, cos you don't want to babysit the whole night.
