I think I can make do with you John! Always a pleasure and looking forward to itOriginally posted by John S
Poor Sandy - you'll have to make do with me instead this weekend. Try not to be too disappointed.Lost out to a dance with Gus AGAIN! In London that weekendBut anyway, the Marco's party is the weekend after (28th). Yes, it is in Edinburgh - I won't be there, but if Gus is then I'm sure he'll do his best to make your journey worthwhile!
Have never been to either Glasgow or Edinburgh parties or classes - but going to change that real soon (if I make enough brownie points between then and now!)
See you soon
Sandy
PS might be a bit knackered after the Saturday workshop but a few drinks and I should be fine!

I completely agree with you on that one, sexy-ness (though I would rather call it a vibe or connection) is nothing to do with appearance etc... All the factors you described contribute but for all we know it could be an olfactive reactionOriginally posted by Rachel
IMO, dancing can be fantastic because anyone with enough ability can look absolutely beautiful/stunning/sexy, no matter - virtually - what their age, size, clothes, or whether or not they may be considered 'conventionally' physically attractive.
I tend to get one or 2 connected dances at most Ceroc nights and it is always great!I am with you on that one as well, read less rather than too much... I am sure most women (and men) are perfectly capable of making it clear if they want things to go further...Originally posted by Rachel
As for Gus' question about how a man would know his dance partner was interested ... well, I think I would have to go the boring/conventional route - I'd prefer nothing to be read into the way I'm dancing but, if I was interested, I think I'd just offer to buy them a drink at the bar and see if I could engage them in conversation.

Beg to differ (been reading too much Cosmo) ... a recent girlfirend's "making it clear" was to offer to slap me across the face if I tried anything funny (I'd only enquired if the knot holding her top on was secure)..... that was supposed to be a come on After such an 'obvious' signal I'm still amazed we ended up dating (eventualy)!Originally posted by Franck

As has been commented on before, the female "No" can mean "No", "Maybe" or "What the hell are you waiting for???" Face it, we're not really supposed to stand a chance are we.
I'm with Franck on this (and by the way great post from Rachel, as others have already commented).Originally posted by Franck

A come-on for masochists, presumably? Whilst I can understand that such an exchange could happen in a flirty way (come on, what were you asking about the knot for??) I'm sticking to the position that most people are capable of being a little more open about whether they are "interested", and it's always safer to assume less rather than more. Of course, if you're interested there's nothing to stop you making the first move. If you're not, then I don't see there's any real harm in ignoring any obscure "signals".Originally posted by Gus

Ok ... had a lot of fun in this thread ... but when it comes down to it, like most people, I go to Ceroc just to dance ... and so a dance REALLY is just a dance. The flirtation and fun that surrounds the night is great but the 'taking it further' questions should stay off the dance floor ... there is enough emotion, insecurity, imagintaion about without every intense dance being interpreted as anything more ... and thankfully that tends to be the rule.
For the rest of it ... Ceroc is just like any other social club .. liaisions form, couples break up, rumour abounds etc ... all part of the social tapestry of modern life ... as long as it doesn't detract from the dancing long may it continue ....
You summed it up brilliantly GusOriginally posted by Gus

I dragged this old thread up and I've really enjoyed reading it right from the beggining! I've laughed out loud many times!
p.s. I didn't know about the hand squeezing thing! God knows what people must think of me, cos I'm a hand squeezing, top of arm squeezing, pat on back and occasional full blown hugger!

Being coldly, scientifically logical, there seems, from my observations, to be some shared 'ingredients'.
Being fun ... and light ... and flirty (to a degree)
Being confident, with real clarity (no vagueness or (false) arrogance)
Something in the eyes - sparkle - gives away a full spirited persona
Genuine authenticity- not bothering too much about what others think, not being afraid to express.
Softness and consideration.
That's my list!!
Although I'll always find it attractive, doesn't mean that I'll necessarily fancy them. However, if available, and similar in beliefs values and dreams .... then I'd fancy them stoopid!!

I can't imagine anyone objecting to that with you Lory! Why have you been hiding away from me lately?Originally Posted by Lory

is it an affliction ?????????????
as for sexy ... to steal a quote - "the eyes are the windows of the soul " and if guy smell nice thats a bonus
forgot to add - a nice bahooky is quite sexyOriginally Posted by sassy1
I also agree with all this. I remember dancing at a Tea Dance with a guy I'd never met (and probably haven't seen since). When he asked me to dance I thought, "oh, he's a funny looking bloke, but I'll give it a go", but I walked off that dancefloor thinking "wow!" - don't know quite what he did to me, but it was VERY sexy!!!!Originally Posted by Bill
And Rachel - whatever that "it" is, watching the two of you dance, you've got it in bucketloads with Marc"
