Yea it’s just dancing , it’s only bad if you are trying to get with that other girl or the other girl is trying to get with you , but dancing is just dancing i, if your girlfriend was upset about it , then your girlfriend has insecurities and doesn’t respect you , but if she was laughing and smiling , she trusts you and and not making a big deal about it

At a wedding or family gathering, it's perfectly okay to dance with another woman, so long as you don't totally ignore your SO. At a club, though, it's best to only dance with your SO.

You know you could have said No turn the bridesmaid down. You millennial men are all a bunch of womanizers. Yet you millennials wonder complaining why woman your age want to date Generation X men. Well I got news for you Generation X guys are way more mature more loyal and better then you.

As a dancer myself I think its appropriate. I mean probably not a slowdance or the sexiest kinds of latin also not he first dance. Otherwise dancing with others is not a serious thing to do. Its fun and people dance differently so its interesting as well.

Would it be appropriate if she danced with another man?

Kelley1 · Answer

That depends on the situation. If a party of six goes out for dinner and dancing, it is not uncommon the guys to dance with the other girls with permission of their dates. If a couple goes out for dinner and dancing, typically it is not acceptable for a guy to dance with other women unless it is a group dance where changing partners during the dance is expected.

I think it all depends on if it is OK with your girlfriend. I know a guy who was at a social event with his girlfriend and he said that he danced with a few women who wanted to, in order to "be a gentleman"... His girlfriend was furious with him and they ended up splitting up. Not sure what he was thinking though because he should have checked to see if it was OK first.

Not ideal, but not a violation. Unless it's was intimate dancing, obviously. That's just clever cheating. Like, if I did the same shit without music, it would mean a divorce.

Depends on the following:  What kind of dancing is it? Swing dancing or grinding?  Is your partner there? Do they approve of this and/or do you approve them dancing with some else? Is it a dancing class or are you doing this for fun?

At a wedding? Yes it's OK. Granted, if your girlfriend has a problem with it I wouldn't do it again. Dancing in other situations might not be acceptable. Like there are some places like a club where people are on the hunt. So dancing with another woman there is like signaling your open game.

Miristheiss · Answer

Usually no. Not unless it is a relative at a wedding or something. That is part of being in a relationship. You only do certain things with your mate. Dancing is a gray area because some are ok with it.

Gwendoline · Answer

At a wedding its acceptable. In a club it's not.

Hispanic-Cool-Guy · Answer

I don't think so, but if your girlfriend doesn't like it then don't do it.

Given the situation i dont think its any problem

exitseven · Answer

As long as you are not grinding against her it is okay

RingOfFire · Answer

That would be a hard no. It's only okay if your are not interested in getting any and you want to sleep on the couch for about a week.

Telekinetic-Potato · Answer

I think it's more disrespectful if she's not there.  You should always conduct yourself as if your woman is present. You are a representation of eachother.

Of course! Dance with whomever you want and I'll do the same. If a sappy slow song comes on, head to the bar! It's not complicated!
