Dancing with your Sweetheart! Mess-ups, hook-ups, and a perfect time.

[COLOR=DimGray]As said before in my other posts my luck with women is bad. If I get a girl it's from sheer dumb luck.

Why just today I talked to her.)[/COLOR] Earlier today a girl I wanted to ask, asked a guy out. He said no. Yet not watching my mouth I said and I quote "Well there's this girl I want to go out with. But she's taken. Well he said no but still." that screwed me up so bad it's not funny.[/COLOR]

[COLOR=blue]So if you've ever had a dance coming up at school, what did you do to get a girl? Did you do the most stupid thing you possibly could? If you did get her what happened afterwards around the school? Rumors? And how did the dance go? Horribly, or perfectly? [/COLOR]

I'm a girl so I might not be able to help you get one. Here is some advice just be yourself. There is always one person who must like you. Who knows it might be a guy, but don't go for the girls who are known for breaking hearts. Trust me be yourself. Don't dress up different if you don't dress that way. Don't fall under the game of love unless you can be accepted by a girl who likes you for you. Just remember that.

You know what they say: every girl's crazy for a sharp-dressed man. It doesn't hurt to pimp yourself out once in a while. It shows that you clean up nicely. One word of advice: if you take a girl to the dance, they don't ALWAYS want to dance. Sometimes both of you can just as good a time talking. Besides, that way, she can get to know who you are. Also, don't be nervous. If you're calm and keep your tongue in check (avoid saying that which does not need to be said), she should have a wonderful night and you'll have a foothold into a relationship.[/FONT][/COLOR]

Do you even know what a pimp is. I don't think he is selling girls for money. Do you? :mad:

My love-situation ranges from the fairly normal to the really weird. My luck with dances are usually good though. That may be because I can dance pretty well. Or maybe I'm just a looker. I suppose if you wanted to get a particular girl, talk to her. Feel out her vibe, see if she's digging you (you can usually tell by her body language and with what level of comfortability she speaks to you with). Then, ask her when the time feels right. Just ask her, "Hey, would you wanna go with me to (insert dance or date)." or something along those lines. You could just ask, "Would you like to/consider going out with me sometime?". Being honest and upfront usually works.


If you do get the said girl, don't worry about loose talk around school. If your with the girl, your with her. What does it matter what people are saying around the corner? Don't worry so much friend, just follow your heart, be brave, and pretty yourself up for when you go to the dance (but don't be one of those guys who wears a blazer and tie to a casual outting). Also, try practicing a little bit of dancing in your mirror and gauge yourself honestly. If you can't move real well, then just kinda rock yours hips and lift your arms a little. Can't go wrong with a little two step.


As for me, my luck at dances is usually pretty good. I havn't been to a real "dance" in about two months. It was good, even though the girl I took didn't dance. I did, and I still hung with the girl. The car ride home was, let's say, "good". Before that, though, I hadn't been to a dance in a couple years. Those dances where good though. I didn't have a girl (save the first one, whom I later broke up with) at that time, and I danced with a couple girls (some at the same time) so it was good.

Just play on what's outstanding about you and your personality, use it to your advantage. If you can move, then do some dancing. Even if you can't, you should still be able to rock back and forth with your girl (that is if she's into it). Believe me, confidence in one's self never hurts. And be respectful. Jerks are no fun.[/color][/size]

[SIZE=1]I have zero interest from boys at college, but lots of male friends, and I honestly prefer it that way. I think you're taking this MUST HAVE GIRLFRIEND situation way too seriously. Taking things seriously often leads to panic and stress and then you're bound to mess up. (Research the General Adaptation Syndrome and you'll see what I mean. It's a vicious circle, I tell you.)

If you want to ask a girl to this dance, that's great. But don't give her the impression that you want to [B][I]love her[/I][/B] and [I][B]cherish [/B] [/I] her. That's weird. Just be a friend and get to know her (if you don't already) and try to discover some things about her. For all you know she could be a right cow, and then you'd have put yourself in something deep and unpleasant.

Just chill. There's plenty of time for love, right? Friends stay for longer.[/SIZE]

Did you hear that? That's the sound of my head exploding.



As for relationships, I'm not particularly a master. All the advice I can give is to not let getting a girlfriend become the number one priority in your life. Chances are you won't end up with any of the girls you dated in high school, anyways.

[/COLOR][/quote]I?m long past High School dances, but most of the time I usually did end up with a date for the dance. I never did anything really stupid, I would get a yellow rose and present it to the girl and ask her if she would do me the honor of being my escort. A few times I was rejected, but most of the time I was not.

Most of the time it went just fine. There were the usual awkward moments, and then the fun chatting and dancing moments. But all in all it?s always gone pretty good. It wasn?t perfect, but it wasn?t horrible either.

Farto the Magic gives good advice as well. Being well dressed even for when you ask them is a good idea. And definitely wear your best for the dance, if you have a tuxedo, wear it. I always wore a tux to any dance I attended. [quote name='NIKI12345']Do you even know what a pimp is. I don't think he is selling girls for money. Do you? :mad:[/quote]I can see you don?t really understand the reference behind the use of the word pimp in this thread.
[INDENT][SIZE=1]Pimp can also be used as a verb such as "You're pimped up!" or "Pimp my ride." The latter example refers to customizing an automobile, made popular by the show. Pimp my Ride.[/SIZE] [/INDENT]
In other words they were referring to making yourself look nice and not selling girls for money. I?m sure most girls have no interest in attending a dance with a guy who doesn?t keep up their appearance.
