    Dance Dates

    Ok, I confess. Im not exactly inexperianced at dating dancers, after all, im possibley the reason no girls under 30 attened Hastings MJ events anymore, but this time it's abit different.

    Im going a long way tomorrow to met someone whome I met at Camber and am abit nervous about it all.

    Will be meeting her at 6pm at Rockys workshop in Swindon, going for dinner / a drink then going to the Swindon Freestyle.

    Any one got any sugestions / tips to help things go smoothly?

    Any other forumites going to said freestyle who could give moral support (will be 200 miles from home)?

    Could do but I don't really want to go with the sympathy angle.

    I've never been convinced that a social dance is the best place for a first date. Either there's a lot of apart time, or you have to do a lot of refusing.

    Just be yourself, she is a lucky gal.

    Be tactile, but not in a pervy way...and make her feel good. Give her lots of compliments...eye contact, etc.

    I'm sure you will be fine...good luck.

    Don't try to be what you think she wants you to be, been there, done that it doesn't work for long.

    Then don't do it immediately........let her wait, anticipating the moment.....hold back, hold back, till she is gagging (is that the right word?) for it.

    Re: Dance Dates

    If he's going to post full details of the date, he can hardly complain

    However, if anyone ever asked me out and then posted full details of first date on a public forum, I don't think they'd get to a second date

    Each to his own, I guess....

    That why you didn;t agree to another one alice?

    Think she would be cool with it. Not identifying details of who she is.

    Oh yeah, my confirmed singleton status required my owning a cat. I forgot, silly me
    I could have been cleaning out the cat litter box- surely that's a perfectly valid reason to refuse a date???

    Alternatively I could have just let him post all the details and then refuse to go *because* he posted all the details.

    Are you sure you mean that?

    According to my dictionary this is a cat flap

    Maybe Woodface will be checking out the cat flap later.

    Upstairs we go............
