You don't **** where you eat.

We don't have BS company policies.

Those policies are there for a reason. It helps prevent overly sensitive men from behaving like virgins, when a woman decides to dance (shock horror) at a club.

I also don't like dancing and also used to also avoid it at all cost unless I was lekker gekletter. I just did not have the confidence - mostly because I was useless at it and the other reason being that I wasn't brought up with langarm and sokkie. Which is weird because I am Afrikaans and langarm is an Afrikaans thing. Somewhere I was not given the memo. Add to this being shy around girls.

Eventually my then GF (now wife) signed up for dance classes at Arthur Murray about 12 years ago. Well, that only lasted about 3 sessions as I kicked off the toe nail off her big toe during a lesson. As in nail lying on the dancefloor. Eventually after a few drunk weddings and nights out dancing with my wife was pretty OK. I dont feel nervous anymore and I can hold my own. Not a great repertoire of moves but enough.

I can only dance with her though. If I try to dance with another girl I feel overly mechanical and not in sync. So I just avoid it. She dances well with other people and it would be nice to be able to dance with her like that. Hence why I always stand as far away as possible when throwing the garter at weddings! Just to avoid the dance with a random person.

So OP has she made contact with you yet?? do you know what happened between her and the guy that caught her eye at the club?

It's okay, he's pretty conservative.

Nothing. She doesn't really know him. I spoke to her yesterday. She's cool about it. We are doing something again next weekend.

I know I would ... if I could.

 

[Quintrix]

You know you want to


You CAN

 

[Picard]

You know you want to


You CAN

I can ... with some help.

My problem is getting the help.

 

[Quintrix]

Speak to some dude called Athur. I think his surname is Murray.

Or even better, ask her to teach you - this will give you some indication.

 

[CamiKaze]

Yeah dude, If you can't dance or keep the crowd going with some conversation then you lost. Time to work on being an alpha male.

 

[CamiKaze]

I know I would ... if I could.

Why don't you just make her drunk? Even before she wanted to go to the club? You a teacher right?
My science teacher back in the days told my older brother that she is a Gemi-Naa#er.

Drunk, you say ...

I can do that.

I'm a good dancer but my wife is quite shy. I think she'd be a good dancer also but self-consciousness makes it impossible for her to loosen up.

I understand why you say you can't dance. To naturally introverted people it's a kind of hell. I can assure you that unless you're trying to pull off some white-man herky-jerk robot crap in the middle of the floor, nobody is looking and (assuming she was interested in you) she would have appreciated just having you try to do a shuffle next to her.

- Also when it comes to drinking, there's a peak moment that you need to capture for optimal dancing. Too drunk and you'll be blattered and embarrassing; too sober and you'll remain in self-conscious purgatory. Stick to spirits, eat lightly and pace yourself. Good luck next time.

 

[The_Right_Honourable_Brit]

I feel your pain Picard. Far too self-conscious to dance (feel like a mechanical robot) but dont like drinking too much. Maybe I should loosen up a bit.

 

[Bobbin]

I don't like dancing at all. I don't feel the need to express myself in such a..."primitive"...for lack of a better word... fashion.

Dancing is supposed to be suggestive. Like a mating ritual that animals might do. Anything else is just mindless moving of the body, some might call "letting go"...for what?

I don't want to express sexual innuendos in public among friends and family and I certainly don't have the need to have a "fit" to whatever beats per second is playing. It makes me feel silly.

<insert grumpy cat>

That said, I have to dance as best man at a wedding soon. *sigh

Bro, you've already handed her the power and she knows it. Doesn't matter how nice the girl is, once you hand your balls to her they use you in many many small ways... each time they do it makes you ludicrously happy but the times inbetween when she ignores you is like the death of a thousand cuts...

Stop mooning over her and kick her to the f..ing kerb... you're like a walking accident scene at the moment... everybody knows, everybody stares, and there is no helping you until you help yourself...
