Potentially awkward scenario at a dance?

Question

so like i know how to dance with people i've never met, its pretty easy stuff. Is it just me or is it pretty hard to dance with a girl you've met but not realy gotten to know her. How do I overcome this potentially awkward scenario. Like I saw her at a party and talked to her for like 5 minutes and thats about it. Im going to see her at our highschool dance in a few days. Shes a freshmen Im a junior.

Answer 1

well dance with her as if you didn't know her then?,,,

Answer 2

Chat her up a little bit beforehand.  If she doesn't remember you, don't push it and just say "hey, i like this song, wanna dance?"  If that fails, just walk up to her and start grinding on her leg.

Answer 3

It was always hard for me to dance with someone if I had an agenda...like if I was kind of liking them, but didn't want to really come out and say it.

So, that's different.  I'm assuming here you want to just enjoy yourself, and anticipate that you may get a chance to dance with her who you've only recently met.

IT'd be completely acceptable to ask someone to dance, even if you didn't know them at all.  All they can say is "no" or " not right now" or "I'd rather not"...hopefully something nice, but direct.

Others who may want to dance, but don't know how cool it is for girls to ask guys, or for you to ask someone new, are in for something fun.  

You can just throw caution to the wind, and say,... "You know, I like to dance.  I understand we don't know each other, my name is ___ by the way...but if you'd like to dance too, would you like to dance with me?"

In almost every situation that seems awkward, I find it helpful to say outloud what I'm feeling, then proceed.  It puts everything right out in the open, and then I can go on with a job interview, a dance, a dinner date, ride in an elevator with others...almost anything that is at all uncomfortable.

Examples:  "I'm really wet.  It's raining hard out there isn't it.  I hope i don't get your clothes wet as I reach for the elevator button.  Excuse me... "  (direct, semi-apologetic warning, but you get the job done)

"Sometimes I'm a little anxious about dancing with someone like you, who I hardly know.  I'd really like to ask you though.  So, like unless I pass out from the anxiety, I think i'll be ok,....would you like to try a dance with me"  (humor, cuts some tension)

"Wow, it is so unlike me to react in this way.  I would like to start over.  So, what I'd really like to have said is this, [speak clearly your apology, clarification, change of plans,....almost anything fits here, when something has gone a little unlike you had planned it.]

By all means, dance.  Have a good time, and invite...so others can too.

Answer 4

Picture her naked while youre both dancing

Answer 5

Just ask! Although I do suggest to try to break her away from her friends first! That way you won't be put on the spot!
