If you've met and gotten together in a relationship with a guy before noticing he was a bad dancer where did you meet?

And yes I'm a terrible dancer and I'm tall enough for everyone to notice me and see it across the entire dancefloor...
Whether first meeting/seeing him on the dance floor or if I knew him already, his inability to dance wouldn't be a deal breaker for me at all. Wouldn't even be a blip on the radar.

Not a great dancer, not a bad dancer ( maybe I underrate myself, hopefully)

But from a distance, women tend to be as bad as men at dancing.

I wouldn't worry about it!

Wow you are making me feel old..I graduated in 92 and you were still learning to talk.lol.

If someone puts in the effort, I don't fault them for it. Someone that refuses to take their girl out on the dance floor even for a slow one, that just shows me they are more worried about what other people think than what she does.

That would require me to have one to bring out on the dancefloor to begin with... which is basicly the problem from the beginning...
It's not like I'd give a fXck if I had someone and she didn't care...

Someone mensioned "grinding on a few~" and someone that I might not be looking for sex at all...
Thing is I'm looking for anything between a kiss, getting laid and a relationship... just well... Something as opposed to the current nothing...
...And according to just about everyone the dancefloor seems to be the place to begin with...especially since im not much of a conversationist...

Another problem is that people always ask me "why do you look so angry" Thing is I look the same "angry" way wether I'm enjoying myself or not... so who finds bad, angrylooking dancers sexy? anyone? no probably not...

Maybe that's the first thing you could work on. People used to say that to me as well, and one thing I learned is that if you're smiling, it's hard to look angry. You face and your eyes provide a lot of insight to how you actually feel inside, a lot more so than the words you say. I have a lot of sadness because of what I've been through the past few years with my marriage, but I'm working on being happy. I also didn't realize until recently how much my stress was showing on my face, and no I don't mean wrinkles..lol. I mean that I've had strangers asking me if I have family around to help out with the kids.

You look angry because you are. Read your posts, you're pretty peeved. And yes, I would dance with you. Angry looking guys don't scare me.

I'm an absolute awful dancer. But, I do get asked and I always say, I'm not a good dancer, so why don't you ask someone else. Most guys (and they are generally older) will insist. Best line I ever had used was, I did not ask you if you could dance, but did you want to dance. (My sisters and I go away a couple of weekends a year to Myrtle Beach where the shag is all most people are doing. I love to watch great dancers together.)

My advice would be, just go, have a great time, if someone catches your eye, ask them to dance - maybe ever say I'm not great, but I've seen you dancing and thought you might could give me some hints, or something like that. My women love people to be honest and upfront with them.

I like this advice, I need to smile alot more myself, I went through alot in High school and only one person ever asked me what was wrong was at the end of my Junior year, boy she helped out alot, she helped me smile alittle more. I'll just need time.

I should also mention, I can only slowdance, other than that I flop at dancing.
