It comes from OPs making excuses about why they can't do what is suggested. That comes across as "I say I want help, but I won't do anything you suggest, so what I really want is pity and attention!"
I'm just answering the question you asked; that does not mean that anyone is "right" or "wrong." | |

an entire adolescent experience of being shot down, shut down would do it.
You can only get NO so many times before you quit bothering - no girl would ever go with me to a dance, so I never learned. I avoided them, and now thirty years later - well according to the threads here, I had a better chance of being a felon and getting a date.
there should be a therapist hypnosis cure for the anxiety of that arena.
jump outta planes, forward deployed in combat zones, public speaking, heights, no problems
Dancing ? - hell, put me back in the desert. | |

Posted: 1/2/2012 3:48:17 PM | OP, here's a different thought:
If you want to take dance classes only because you feel it might improve your chances on the dating scene, I don't think you should do it as you stated you've never been much of a dancer.
If you feel you'd like to take dance classes, by all means, go ahead and do it, as dancing is fun and, depending on the kind of dancing, a good workout.
All I'm trying to say is do it for the right reason.
As for subsequent posts regarding the sex aspect: Dancing with someone is imo a very good indication for things to come! | |

dont worry about what kind of dance is going on. if you are out at a pof function and everyone is dancing really they are just moving their feet. just go for it; don't put more pressure on yourself! if you are too contrived you wont meet the person you are really meant to be with! be yourself and let go! and if you don't like to dance, who cares! play pool, darts, or whatever other activity that is offered. | |

I second that.  | |

...And I would have to agree with that advice. I have a male friend who is a great dancer and he is an extremely popular guy at social events. Woman are forever pulling him up onto the dance floor. So much so that we have nicknamed him, "Dances with Ladies" 
As for me....I love dancing. I'm on the dance floor all night. It would love to meet someone who enjoys it as much as I do. * big grin*

Posted: 1/3/2012 12:49:37 PM | i think I will take up some dance lessons too.
I live in a small town and the over 45 crowd goes to the casino when a band is playing which is quite often and we mix with the younger crowd and dance to the rock music.
its fun and no one cares about age at the casinos or clubs around here.
but maybe thats cuz its a smaller town.
I love everyones suggestions on dance lessons. great way to meet people our age. Im gonna try it. now that I am old. lol
to be honest I have went dancing the same places my daughter goes and the ages are from 21 to 70. | |

Posted: 1/3/2012 11:25:16 PM | What I've noticed in Australian dance schools is that there are so many more women than men. Whether you are good or not the ods are actually pretty good for meeting women if you are male.
These dance schools have classes then often go out together. Just see what is available near you and test the waters. The more you ponder the bigger the fear... just go for it. | |

Posted: 1/4/2012 1:00:53 PM | Whatever you do, avoid the salsa classes.
Las time I tried it, there were 16 women and two men in the dance class.
It turned out more like line dancing or exercise evening than a hot latin dance. | |

I agree. Pass on the salsa classes. But, cha cha, rhumba, swing, even hustle are pretty easy to learn and fun. I have two male friends who were attending dance classes and they met their mates in my class over the last two years. So there's a no-strings opportunity to meet someone in the class itself. Quick step, tango, fox trot, and waltz take more time to learn.
My dance class is a pay-as-you-go deal. That is, if you show up, you pay $10 for the 1 hour group class. Every guy dances with every gal in rotation. Now I have no fear of asking any gal to dance. The fewer guys that dance, the better my odds are of meeting a great dancing lady. | |

Posted: 7/3/2012 7:35:22 PM | About 2 blocks away from here is a hall that present dance performances regularly (Metro Theater, Victoria). I go to then.
Sometime it is classical ballet, other times it may be tango or salsa. Been to a few that were very original. One was a very tasty burlesque featuring Miss Tastybits reading poetry and dancing.
Actually, the best performance I saw was a puppet show....for adults.

Sex is expected on the first date in these new modern times. Everyone does it. No exceptions. The point of the dancing is solely to judge how good you're likely to be at the sex. Balderdash! Everyone does NOT do it. That is an obtuse generality. However, there are some dances which do promote the likeliness of sexual performance. Two that come immediately to mind are: Bachata and Tango. Tango is perfected over years of study. OP, Bachata is a dance you should observe! WOW! That will get you motivated to dance. LOL | |

Posted: 7/5/2012 4:42:19 PM | Hahaha...JAX, you beat me to the punch on Scurvy Spider. A guy may expect sex on the first date but some of us still have morals, so they are not going to get it here. Most guys with the integrity to court a woman properly would consider it inappropriate to suggest sex on a first date. Spider, please don't frighten the newbies...dating is scary enough.
And OP, there are a lot of us who have never taken a dance course who like to go listen to a good cover band and slow dance. For most women, just having a man escort her to the dance floor and give it a go without protesting or looking like they have been forced to eat glass is good enough. If the guy can actually dance, bonus-bonus.
If you do decide to take some lessons, you may be able to find them offered for little or no cost in bars & dance halls, churches, community centers and community colleges. And JAX is right about the tango...when done well, it is mezmerizing. | |
