Do you consider dancing with someone else as cheating?

[OjosOscuros2]

If you’re in a relationship and your partner goes out dancing with her friends, do you consider it cheating if she two steps or salsas with another person? Same for girls.

[fal312]

I dance with girls who have boyfriends all the time, though except for one time they're never actually there. The girls certainly don't consider it cheating and neither do I. Though I'd totally understand if the guy doesn't like it, I probably wouldn't either.

Perhaps if you weren't just dancing for fun but actually flirting and touching like crazy I'd see it as a sort of cheating, at least psychologically, on the other dude.

[slatyb]

Its not cheating. Guys dating women who like to dance need to either step up and learn to dance or accept that she's going to dance with other men. In ballroom dance communities that I'm familiar with, pretty much everyone dances with everyone else and no one has a problem.

[OjosOscuros2]

☝️ I agree. It could be a sport really.

[aicarg]

Cheating to me involves emotional connection/lust. For myself, it really depends on the setting and with whom they are dancing with. I'm not one who gets outraged if my man and I are at a wedding and he slow danced with a female friend whom I know of... But I would be suspicious if we were at a club and he let a random grind up on him.

[Brokenheartedx]

No.. I’m a dancer and if dancing with someone else then it’s only dancing, nothing more

[CoffeeWC]

no big deal but it depends on the guy. Some guys can be very possessive You should be fine.

[Mexicoman101]

That would be a very petty relationship, devoid of a lot of necessary trust, if I felt threatened just by my partner dancing with someone else. I mean it depends on how they do it, but most of the time it's not an issue.

[CHARismatic110]

Not necessarily. If it's like ass grabbing and grinding and such, that's a little problematic.

[Jan_Classic]

Dancing partner shouldn't be considered as cheating. But you should self improve to be able to dance funky with your luv, as it may be her hobby. Well if your love is a good dancer why wouldn't you dance with her?

[Cammy137]

Of course not. My girlfriend teaches dance for a living and does it as a hobby so she'd be constantly cheating if that were the case

[BuchitaBuchys]

If it isn't sexual, I don't care much. But any conversations after or outside of dancing are a no from me.
For the record, I'd never dance with another guy while I'm in a relationship.

[Hyped_up_on_coffee]

No it’s not cheating. There is only the potential to cheat if you are grinding and have alcohol , so be weary and keep a safe space between your bodies like in a middle school Dance.

[hahahmm]

Nope. My SO would know I don’t care about that but she should also not rub it in my face cause I don’t need to know every time some thirsty guy is trying to get her (if that’s the situation)

[Oded_Obliterate]

Not cheating unless it goes further or if it's too "close for comfort". But it still isn't approved in my book. My girl, don't dance with her. Perty much

[Luis_cee]

No ways! I dance salsa and although it looks provocative it's more technical actually, but if my girl would have a problem with it, i would respect her views and stop

[OjosOscuros2]

Does it look provocative really? I keep hearing that but I don’t get it.

[slatyb]

Really? I think it's a mistake to give up an activity just to please a jealous partner. A loving partner would be happy for you to do something that you enjoy, and would either let you continue without them, or would step up and participate with you.

[Luis_cee]

I think there are factors to consider, but in honesty I would be devasted if I had to stop. I definitely would rather she joins me or comes to a class to see how casual it actually is

[AynonOMouse]

If she is being physical with someone else, including dancing, it is cheating to me.
If she is the type that likes to go out clubbing and drinking, I wouldn't like or want her from the start anyways.

[BlueDream]

Not cheating, but I wouldn't like it if he starts grabbing her ass or some weird touchy move.

[SarahsSummer]

No. As long as it’s just dancing. Body grinding wouldn’t be appropriate tho.

[Hidden_P]

Just dancing? Like a class? No. A club? Yes, it’s on the brink

[Anonymous]

I’d only have a problem with it if they were lying about it. We used to have to dance like that in school with the opposite sex so it’s really not sexual.

[WhoDatGuy]

Don't be ridiculous. In that case I'm cheating with 20 women a week!

[JackofSpades]

As long as her dance moves look nothing like this... I'm cool with it.

[Bstokes]

If she's out with her friends, and she dances with another guy, fine. As long as it's just dancing ( no groping, kissing, post dance sex, etc.) and she doesn't brag about it to me, I'm cool with it.

[C0lstar]

Like many things, it totally depends on several factors

[hasrett]

Wouldn't be too happy with it... but wouldn't consider it cheating.
