Shall We Dance?
When I was in grad school there was a creepy fellow grad student a few years ahead of me who kept asking me on date. I would always say no, but one time he asked if I wanted to go swing dancing with him. I thought it could be fun and maybe I would find him less creepy if I tried to get to know him better. When we got to the swing dancing place he proceeded to show me how to swing dance and I was actually starting to have a good time once I started to get the hang of it. It turned out he was a pretty good and I was actually starting to be mad at myself for not giving him a chance sooner. But at the end of a dance he said to me, “You’re not good enough of a dancer for me to dance with so I’m going to find someone else,” and left there in the middle of dance floor by myself! The worst part was he continued to ask me out on dates after that, but I didn’t feel bad saying no anymore.
LOL maybe you were just so bad the fella was embarrassed to dance with you (no offense, we’d have to read his side as well). Although I strongly disapprove of the way he went about it (leaving I stranded on the dance floor and all), I find it sad that his bold forwardness was the decisive point in whether or not he was “date worthy” by your standards. I don’t believe this guy is the epitome jerk.
LOSER with a capital L on his forehead. and idiot.
So what if he was embarassed? He knew full well she was a newbie at swing dancing and he was a dick for saying “OMG U SUCK LOL KBAI”. He’s not being bold or forward, he’s being an egotistical douchecanoe for not wanting a subpar dancing skills to tarnish what he probably thinks is his Aura of Dancing Awesome. He’s shallow and she’s lucky to have found that out early on.
Wow. As a Swing dancer (male) I find his behavior uncouth and barbaric. I love dancing with new people, and helping them to learn the dance. Not every dancer is this snobbish, and I hope you don’t take away any bad feelings about the community at large – come on back out and dance some more!
I hope you haven’t given up on Swing dancing because if it!
GOOD leaders make ANY lady look fabulous…. ;-D
There is something to be said about listening to your first instinct!!
Swingdancing sounds like fun, this guy not so much. What a dweeb.
If he were embarrassed he could have just suggested going out for coffee instead.
What an assbag!
Yeah, he could have turned your less than professional moves into a opening for more dates. Something he seemed to have wanted! Good thing you found out he’s a dick head.
his dancing skills may be great but he needs social skills. He probably wonders why he can’t get dates. Moron.
But you at least were nice and gave him a chance. Now you know what a jerk he is, case closed!
Haha – the funniest part is that he kept asking you out after this incident. Did he really expect you to say yes????
It happens. When you go swing dancing you can dance with other partners, especially if your date sucks at it… But he should have let you know that…
@rawr–My stomach hurts from laughing. And I am adding “douchecanoe” to my vocabulary.
