I can't and I won't.
So ... I was invited into going to a [-]typical Afrikaans dance[/-] club with a female colleague. [-]We came via separate cars.[/-] She went with a girl friend.
We partied at her friend's place earlier this evening and the evening would have ended up very peachy if it [-]hadn't been for her overbearing drive to ... dance.[/-]
Anyway, we got the club and continued chatting very nicely. We are close colleagues and naturally close friends (we all are), I know her most of her most intimate secrets.
But while we were talking[-] her attention was diverted to another guy who wanted to dance with her. She's got her own free will so she skidded off to dance with him, at which point I downed my drink and left.[/-]
And here I am, 15 minutes later, posting this post.
This is the story of my life.
There are a few things I can not do ... and those things have had, and continue to have, a critical affect on my life ... and I can not compensate for it.
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
Sometimes you just have to be the boss of dancing :

i think the issue is bigger than dancing. i also cannot dance and i will never voluntarily go out and bust moves to impress people, but be silly, laugh at yourself, make people happy and talk talk talk, that is all you need to do in my eyes
I love dancing but I'm the only one who thinks I got moves![]()

Well put.Picard, there are a lot of things in the story that could be different. We all have our different views on the matter but i awnt to share some things i've found.
you know this girl/woman. for a lot of people the attraction starts BEFORE you go out that door to meet them. that is why they're arranging to meet with you.
attraction is gradual. you can't pop onto the dance floor, pulls moves like John Travolta and expect her to like you other than your dancing. what a lot of people find attractive is confidence, and you don't need to get up and dance to be confident, you could have even sat on the side having a conversation with people around you and she would have come back and noticed your confidence with strangers.
some members here can't dance at all. some members have been compared to epileptic ragdolls and squids on fire, but they're swimming in ponani.

Confidence = only single requirement to be successful with women.
One doesn't just wake up with confidence though.
Maybe sometimes, I guess. But not everyone has it easy when it comes to confidence.
And extremely difficult to work on by sitting at home reading books & watching how-to videos.Which is why it's the single most important factor for anyone without confidence to work on.
