| 572176 | 2007-07-24 08:47:00 | Dear all, I am going to the ball with my partner in a month's time. As a frequent PressF1 forum contributor (note: geek), I am partially at lost as to what to do on that evening (to some extent, in the wee morning of the next day). Below is a list of what I have in mind at the moment: Dancing - How do I dance to rock / pop / R&B music? Eating - No problem with that Drinking - Automatically out for us, since both of us vowed not to drink on that night Chatting - No problem with that, but it is not going to last us through the whole night... Anything else to add to that? I know I am risking of being called an idiot, but I don't care as long as I can make her happy on that night in return for her enthusiastic desire to go out with me. Don't even think of telling me to transfer my genes recreationally. Cheers :) |

| 572179 | 2007-07-24 09:11:00 | Dancing is purely a form of self expression, some of us like to do it and feel confident about our ability to "keep to the beat" others of us don't. Regardless of whether you feel co-orodinated on the dance floor or not, if your partner wants to dance with you at least have one dance (it's polite :) ) after that it is up to you. Conversation: if your not sure about what to say ask them something about themselves, this will usually spark some sort of conversation... or not. What to do in the "wee small hours" A: keep chatting B: go to another bar if you feel so inclined C: go back to their/your place for a drink and or extended activities if you feel like you like each other enough..... D: say good night to each other after the ball and head to your respective homes. |

However, if "yourself" includes clamming up like shell or mumbling about rugby, then put an act on and try to look interested and interesting! Dancing: If you can't dance then just sort of jiggle around - copy some of the other guys. Don't refuse to dance or go on about how you hate dancing. If you at least try to dance and look like you are enjoying yourself without knocking out/over people near by or her, you will get brownie points for this. :thumbs: Chatting: you don't have to talk just about yourselves. Do you have common friends/interests you can discuss, or better yet join in with their group conversations? After events: If you don't have a (semi-respectable) party that you have been invited to, then consider finding a late night cafe/bar if you feel things are going well. Otherwise just take her home. How long have you known her for? PS* after reading your subject heading, I thought you were suggesting that you were wanting to "transfer your genes recreationally". :p |

Forget dancing if your not interested, Though there maybe repercussions, But who cares?, Pretty weak if someone wants to make a big deal out of it. Funny though if some crazy dancing fool steals your women with his out-of-site funky chicken disco moves. |

Forget dancing if your not interested, Though there maybe repercussions, But who cares?, Pretty weak if someone wants to make a big deal out of it. I never cease to be amazed at how many guys refuse to get on the dance floor and try and look "cool" by "hanging out" on the fringes. A lot of women are either impressed or tend to enjoy themselves a lot more in the company of a guy who enjoys getting onto the dance floor. If you look like your having a good time they pick up on that. :) |

| 572185 | 2007-07-24 09:56:00 | I had my ball recently....came solo, but I did get to dance with a beautiful lass for a half an hour. Not the modern dance, mind you - can't fork out moves. Just did a bit of waltz that I can still remember from back in year 8.:lol: Most of the time me and my friends just walk around, greeting friends we know who are located sporadically throughout the damn place, stopping to chat once in a while. Maybe you can do that with your partner. |
