[quote=Anonymous]Dear Lord, OP, there is nothing to manage.

Your kid tells the boy what her plans are, so he knows. And then they can meet at the event, or if the friend is OK with it, he can fetch them at the house. It's not awkward in the least, because it's not as if your daughter has an established romantic relationship with this boy and was planning on watching the bluebirds fly out of his eyes for the entire duration! No. They can all enjoy themselves as friends. Indeed, it makes it less awkward. In the fullness of time, maybe this boy will become an actual boyfriend. Or not. This is not the important question right now.

My 15 year old's best friend is very extroverted and introduces her to many other friends, male and female. They all go out and do things as a group. They sit together at lunch, though the exact people vary every day because people have clubs and go to their teachers' office hours. But it's a loose group of friends, and some have romantic interests in each other.

You seem to think dating means a very specific set of behaviors and expectations, but you're wrong. These days it's more fluid than that. [/quote]
