Advice from the women

What would you think, if a guy you like told you that he's taking dancing lessons with this other girl, like ballroom dancing? Would you be jealous? Cuz I did that today, and I don't know what to do now.

**The wirerat** · 01-30-2007, 07:32 PM

If there's no relationship, there's no reason for you to be concerned about jealousy.

Dancing is dancing. Ballroom dancing is perhaps the most formal, non-personal dancing I can think of, except for the Latin variations.
No worries.

Ok, let's see an example shall we?

Let's say I have this friend whom I like, but he don't know I like him.
Okay, so he tells me that he's taking dancing lessons. Okay, everythings cool.
But one day I decide to go to the dancing thing, but I see that he's taking lessons from my best friend. What do I do?
Well, there are two options:
1.I can get overly jealous and tell my friend to back off
2.I can just overlook it and not think anything of it.

Now, personally I'd go with no.2. But since you're a guy, I would say don't worry about it. You might wanna let her know, if she likes you that is, that there's nothing more than dancing lessons.

I'd probably only be jealous if he never took me dancing once he started to get the hang of it.

No worries.

Square dancing is also pretty durn impersonal.

I don't there is anything wrong with it, especialy if it's just a random girl from your class. Or is this another girl that you are taking lessons with? I think she would only be jealous if you asked another girl to take lessons with you and not her, but if it is just a random girl from your class you should be fine.

Well, I was trying to avoid it; embarassing dance styles need not be brought up in the face of adversity.

Lol I find it humorous that in a thread called advice from women, it is mostly males doin the talkin.

Well, I'd be hurt if I'd expressed an interest in learning dancing, yet the guy still chose to learn with another girl. However, if i really didn't care about dancing and didn't want to learn, but the guy still wanted to and then elected to do dancing lessons with another girl, I'd feel fine. As long as I felt like I wasn't being excluded, you know what I mean? That could send the wrong signal. However, dancing is pretty impersonal, so I don't think it's really much to worry about. I have a bunch of friends in relationships that also dance and their dance partners aren't always their s/os, so it all works out.

Take her out dancing, Andrew.

SccHarpGirl · 01-31-2007, 01:11 PM

yeah. Most girls love to dance. And think it's incredibly romantic when a guy asks them dancing
