completely agree! Have fun if you are already worrying like this at 20 you are going to get an ulcer before you are even old enough to drink at these clubs! Just relax, laugh and enjoy yourself! Good luck!

I look like a circus animal on the dance floor. I remember a few years back when I was moving from Denver to Phoenix and my coworkers threw me a party at a local club. There was a woman who was doing one of those DJ things and was a good dancer as well. Some of my friends set up this situation towards the end of the evening so that this woman got me out on the dance floor with all of my friends watching and got me to do all of these weird dance moves. Then they formed this line of people with me at the front and I had to lead the pack as everyone except myself grabbed the waist of the person in front of them and meander all over the dance floor and bar area. Thankfully I was already intoxicated and there is no video evidence of this event to the best of my knowledge.

Bust out a move that would make hammer feel shame, grind on a few sluts to raise the bar, and act like a man.

Of course, you won't take my advice. As such, the amended response:

Yes, friendly, cuddly guy, women think a man who swerves good on the floor will swerve good in bed, and vise-versa. You should be highly nervous about this and take dancing courses. Also, make sure to open doors for her, give her a rose, and above all, tell her she's a very splendid gal whom you'd love to kiss one day when the time is right and she feels "ready."
Who says he's seeking great sex, or even sex at all? And I don't really equate "acting like a man" with "grinding on a few sluts at the bar".

Some people need to grow up. I assume you were a male who wrote this; you need to leave adolescence behind and be a man.

No, it wouldn't matter. I expect the guys I date to be bad dancers, and I'm not really into dancing myself.

"Dancing: the vertical expression of a horizontal desire legalized by music." - George Bernard Shaw.

If you are terrible take some lessons. Be willing to learn. It sounds like fun and should lead to more fun.

Personality and character trumps everything.
It does matter in a crowded dance club where the music is so loud, it's difficult to have a decent conversation with anyone. So how one dances and moves is one way to communicate self confidence and skills. And in a dance club, given a choice between a guy that dances well and a goofy awkward dancer, most women will choose to dance with the good dancer. Women are attracted to men that are confident and who feel good about themselves. The O.P. admits that he can't dance and he feels uncomfortable on the dance floor. It'd be different if he didn't care about his lack of dancing skills.

I don't care if he can't dance. But I can and I am usually on the floor.
