What happened to your Debs date?

Bambi985 · 09-04-2018 11:53AM #1

I was reading this mental story a while ago and it got me reminiscing about my own debs date back in 2003.

It took me a good ten minutes to remember his name. He was a friend of my friend's boyfriend because I went to an all-girl's school and knew the total sum of 2 boys by the time the debs rolled around. Ah the innocence!

Pretty sure I wore the face off him half the night between all the sambuca and shots of aftershock. Did a quick facebook stalk and he looks the exact same, though he hasn't updated his profile pic since 2010. Doesn't look like he's married yet, but then maybe he's just not a social media kinda guy. Good for you Rowan!

So what about you? What became of your debs date? Did you marry him/her and live happily ever after? Did you have a quick fumble on the night, never to set eyes on him/her again? Did you meet the guy/gal in an awkward encounter at the water fountain at work ten years later?

He was a lad that hung out in our group so I just asked him along. I haven't seen him in years and can't actually remember his name.

I'm damned if i can remember her name. Not even her first name. I only asked her because my mate wanted to ask her mate and her mate wouldn't go on her own.

She died

She ended up in a dull, lifeless marriage to an a**hole. Our 5th wedding anniversary is coming up soon enough.

Was seeing him for a while beforehand, naively thought I was the only one seeing him (i wasn't...) he was a total player.. Finished with him not long after the grad.. He's married with a kid now, still looks the same! I'm married to lad I met 5 months later!

knucklehead6 · 09-04-2018 12:05PM

She married my best friend. I was best man at their wedding and am god father to one of their kids

mojesius · 09-04-2018 12:07PM

We were close friends since childhood, neighbours and we remain close friends (just realised we've been friends for 30 years!!) He was a great laugh at my debs, had a fantastic night.

Both married to different people, I attended his wedding and he came to mine.

Never had one. London born and educated, we didn't have American influnces.

facehugger99 · 09-04-2018 12:09PM

Emer.

She had a late 80's perm and drank Ritz.

Never laid eyes on her since.

yourdeadwright · 09-04-2018 12:09PM

Jesus was 17/18 years ago,
Used to hang around with her and her mates as a teen , haven't seen her in years so no idea what shes up to,
She was sound so probably still is

Mine broke her hand on the night when we went to a nightclub afterwards and her boyfriend showed up. He went to the bar to take a few swings at the most innocent fella in the whole school mistakenly thinking he was me. Saw her once in the 25 years since then.

lertsnim · 09-04-2018 12:14PM

She's happily married with children.

Grayson · 09-04-2018 12:15PM

I'd met her during the summer after the leaving and before the Debs. She was from a different town.

We ended up going to the same college. On the first night out there I saw her, said hello and she blanked me.

I asked our common friends what was up and they said the same thing happened to them.

went by myself in 2005

09-04-2018 12:20PM

I sat beside her at a talk twenty years later and didn't immediately recognise her.

She introduced me to her husband as a school friend.

Dial Hard · 09-04-2018 12:25PM

I didn't go to mine, my boyfriend at the time was a good bit older than me and was all "I'll go if you reeeaaaaaalllly want me to but I'll feel so uncomfortable" and like a sap, I went "No, it's fine, we won't go."

He was a big, fat (like, morbidly obese), disgusting, manipulative asshole but unfortunately it took me another two years to see that. (Well, I could see that he was fat, but the rest of it.)

We have a mutual friend on social media and every so often she likes to disgust me by showing me pics of him. He's still morbidly obese and presumably still a manipulative asshole.

To this day, I'm sorry I didn't just go to the debs on my own.

You are thinking of the 'prom' in America perhaps?

'Debs' is an abbreviation of Debutantes Ball - which comes actually from the BRITISH social season.

But yes, it is stupid and you missed nothing whatsoever.

Can barely remember him, we were in a brief relationship, the things I do remember are that he came from a wealthy family and he wanted me to meet his mother on the night of the debs so off we go. I get introduced to his mother who was drunk and had issues with alcohol and the housekeeper, being a bit young and green I had never come across people with alcohol issues before and was very shocked.

Lollipops23 · 09-04-2018 12:36PM

I went with my boyfriend at the time, I was meant to go to his to his too 10 days later but he dumped me in between them.

kylith · 09-04-2018 12:36PM

WAs my boyfriend at the time. We broke up when I went away to college. On the night we didn’t stay long cos I had a room upstairs

He’s dead now. Crashed his car into a pole drunk driving a few years ago.

Mrcaramelchoc · 09-04-2018 12:37PM

There was so much trouble at the debs( cops called) the year before us that we didn't get to have one in our year.
Did i miss anything?

razorblunt · 09-04-2018 12:44PM

I think she's in London, last I heard.
I wish her well in her future endevours, though I have never seen her since the night!

_Roz_ · 09-04-2018 12:55PM

Myself and four friends all went as a group with no dates. A couple of the group were asked, and considered it for the sake of having a date, and another panic-asked a really unpopular guy but he amazingly told her no because he didn't want to just be a fill-in date. My respect for the guy increased after that. But we all agreed screw the 'date for the sake of it' element and went as a group.

My 'boyfriend'* at the time was meant to come to mine, but he was in a different county and it would have been awkward, so I excused him from coming. By the time his rolled around, he had a different girlfriend. He's still one of my best friends 13 years later, and he's currently happily living in Japan with his (new, Japanese) girlfriend.

* We were like 16/17 and in different counties, it wasn't really a relationship. We just dug each other because we each thought the other was cute and amazingly awesome compared with many of our peers. The amazingly awesome is why we're still friends.

corner of hells · 09-04-2018 12:56PM

After university , she moved to America , been married three times since.

Our debs relationship lasted longer than one of her marriages , three months.

A nice girl , mad when gargled though.

omb0wyn5ehpij9 · 09-04-2018 12:58PM

I brought my then girlfriend. We had been going out for about 6 months at that stage. We stayed together for about 4 years in total. Just after we broke up she was set up with a guy (think it was her sister in laws friend and was a way of getting her back on the horse from what I heard). About a year later they moved to Australia together and have been there since (about 10 years). They are married and have a kid now

I remember the absolute PANIC when it came to having to ask a lad to go with me when I knew no lads and had the confidence of a typically awkward 17 year old. Retrospectively I should've just gone along with my mates and not had the headache of having to babysit this random guy all night. Nice fella all the same!

killanena · 09-04-2018 05:36PM

Engaged to mine now, We also have a 2 year old

. We were going out for 2 years before the debs even!

Summer In the City · 09-04-2018 05:39PM

15 years later and we're married. We went to her debs 16 years ago first.

Church on Tuesday · 09-04-2018 05:39PM

Dunno, didn't have one.

What happened to your Debs date?
