I'm debating whether or not to pursue one. I really could use some guidance in regards to learning how to dance (I got the basics of two stepping down, but with a good partner, I could get better and learn all the different ways to spin/twirl a girl around a dance hall). Sex would probably complicate things, so it's not something I'm lookin for (good luck finding a woman that will agree to that). I guess the perfect candidate would be in her upper 20's and recently divorced. Anyone ever have a relationship similar to what I'm describing? Closer then a friend, but not quite a lover so to speak. What did you learn from it? Any regrets? I wanna hear about the good, the bad, and the ugly.

Sounds like fun. Not much to offer though.

Relationships in your twenties have virtually zero meaning or depth. People in their twenties think a relationship is holding hands out in public at some stupid bookstore and purchasing each other flowers for Valentines Day. Oh, I almost forgot, passionless sex is involved. The guy is finished in 3 minutes, rolls over, passes gas, and goes to sleep snoring his face off, as the chick lays there unsatisfied and feeling ignored.

Your comment made me laugh. Very stereotypical, and not true to my case at all, but still rather funny.

Yep I'm definitely looking for a summer fling and then looking forward to traveling down under to the southern hemisphere in December and having a summer fling down there.

Well, if you go in with that attitude you won't get laid, period.

My advice is to find someone who is sexually attracted to you, then friends after. Otherwise you will end up in one of those friends only no sex relationships.

I've been there and done that, take my advice. Sex first then friendship.

Try dance class you could learn to dance and no pressure to have sex
and the dance teacher might be recently divorced.

I've got that dancing thing down pat - in a big way!!!

You should take dance classes. In a group class there are typically a lot of ladies. But you are going to want to expand your horizons a little - not everyone enjoys country music and two step. You should take West Coast Swing, Night Club Two Step (different from country two step), Hustle and Salsa. These dances will get you on any floor in any club anywhere in the world. You might like these so much that you want to take the more standardized dances (cha cha, mambo, rumba, samba, bolero, east coast swing or jive, foxtrot, waltz, viennese waltz, tango and maybe quickstep) (it also depends on whether you choose to do American style or International style of dance).

The sex partner thing, you're on your own - I can't help you there!
