I dont have anyone to bring with me to the company Xmas party :(

[THELAIR]

Well I do, a friend of mine wants to come so he can shake hands and meet people in order to possibly get a job there, BUT, thats not the kinda image i want to portray to my new coworkers: "Hi guys this is John, my guest for the evening"
haha

i could just imagine the stares...

anyways, im probably gonna end up going by myself, but will i look like a total moron?

This is a large xmas party too, 1000+ employees, renting out an entire hotel.

It wouldnt be as akward if i had someone to go with. Ahh well.

 

[TallBill]

dude.. you cant find anyone? you dont have a single female friend anywhere on earth?

 

[fatbaby]

~fat

 

[NetworkDad]

Your tellin me out of 1000+ there are no singles?

 

[TallBill]

realize that you dont have to be dating the person you bring with...

 

[Red Dawn]

Hey no problem, just do like everybody else does at Company Christmas parties. Get drunk, harrass the secretaries and make a complete ass out of yourself. It's a long standing American Tradition.

 

[THELAIR]

there are 2 girls I was going to ask, but they are not available on the day of the party.

pisses me off

Im single. And im sure there will be other singles there too, but its nice to bring someone with you at least.

Dude, there's GOTTA be a girl you can ask. It doesn't even have to be a girl you're "interested" in. Just bring any one of your friends and say "Free food. Meet people."

 

[DuffmanOhYeah]

Relax, there is a time tested backup for not having anyone to go with.............go sh!t stinking drunk!!!

 

[kpxgq]

thats sux

Last year, my friend was invited to his company's christmas party but his girl was busy so she couldn't go. he invited me and another friend and we all had fun dancing and talking to people. there was about 500 people there and everyone was cool.

 

[notfred]

No one cares if you bring anyone. I mean, if you found a date, and went there, and someone else was by himself, would you point and laugh? no, you wouldn't go by yourself if you dont find anyone. Or take me, if there's free food.

Oh, you know what I did? I went to my office party (also a big company) with a date, but I also brought my single female coworker and we all hung around with my staff... it was fun and no one noticed she was solo.

 

[HamSupLo]

hire an escort

 

[Cheesemoo]

i have my work party coming up too. i am gonna go alone i think too. dont have to worry about anything. cause i will be too drunk to remeber who i brought.

cheese out..

 

[Keego]

<< hire an escort >>

 

[jlee75]

damn, i remember bringing a friend the the company part before. got looks and stares cuz everyone thought that I was going with this girl from the office. i was interested in the girl from accounting.

later on when I tried to hook up with the accounting girl, she asked about the friend i brought. the friend i brought was pretty damn hot and knew how to party. but we were just really good friends from way back and hadn't seen her in a year. anyways, things never cleared up with the office girl. oh well....

so here's the suggestion, if there's a girl at the office you wanna hook up with, ask her. don't just bring a random friend especially if she's hotter than the girl at the office. :Q

 

[urameatball]

dude... GO STAG!!!
there'll be lots of single women there

I personally don't like going with a date. cuz dates usually mean restrictions

 

[jshrieve]

No one (at your company) really cares whether you have a date or not.
People are allowed to be single. It's not taboo.

 

[The Dancing Peacock]

same boat, but mine is more family oriented, booze is kind of low pro, not supplied by the company. I'm inviting a friend or 2 and we'll grub, then go to a bar later, I think..

 

[aimn]

Hire it out.

 

Here's the solution

 

[Shermanator]

yeah, get one of those manniquins

 

[Looney]

1000+ employees? That's going to be one hell of a party, and i'm SURE there are going to be others without dates/wives. Just bring a friend or two along, there's NOTHING wrong with that.
