Have you ever asked someone to dance or been asked to dance?

Question

In the 90's their were cool clubs where the Deejay would play slow songs and the guy would have to get up the nerve to ask a woman to dance. Those types of places are now far and few between. Wonder how many people have never asked or been asked to dance before. let me know below.

I have just the story for this.
So I was at a school dance, and I actually had arrived alone because I mostly wanted to enjoy the night with my friends. No muss, no fuss. However, I carried a rose in my pocket since I wanted to look cool with it. (Don’t ask, I don’t get why younger me thought it was a good idea.)

I enjoyed my time just breakdancing and hanging out with my friends, laughing and doing some dumb shit all night long. However, then it came to the slow dance part, and they all sat as I went to go and just meander around.
As I was walking, I see somebody dancing alone, and their friend asks them why they’re dancing alone; they reply that they didn’t have somebody for that, so they were dancing with a ghost instead.
So I pulled out the rose from earlier, hand it to her, and said, “well, I can fix that. So how about you stop dancing with a ghost?”
And so, we danced.
Aaaaaand nothing came of it. I really wish I had asked her out afterward, that would’ve been really cool, but I was an awkward teen with absolutely zero dating experience. Definitely doesn’t ring true now, but my smoothest moment had absolutely no payoff 😭

Wait. Are you saying people don't ask each other to dance any more? Then how does it work? Somebody's gotta do the asking.

But to answer the question, yes I have asked, but not often. I don't remember being asked though. Although it's possible I don't remember. A combination of alcohol and decades tends to blur the memory.

As for the slow dance song. I remember the band rocking and everyone dancing, then suddenly they throw in a slow song. If the fast dance went well, then couples would continue with the slow dance. The asking was done during the fast music, not slow music.

Nope to both-

I've never been asked to a dance, nor have I asked a guy to dance with me. Yeah, the joy of being the "ugly duckling" growing up...
But in hindsight, not being asked to dance was a good thing because I have NO rhythm or coordination so I'd just wind up embarrassing myself.

Nothing as romantic as that, I was at a club recently and this one girl decide to twerk on me, another girl wanted a dance so we did and I made out with her, but the icing on the cake was this woman who was at least 7 ft tall, but also blond curvy and very beautiful dancing on her own.
I'm 6'3 so my friends wanted me to shoot my shot even if I'm shorter so I walked up to her and pretty much extended my hand and asked if she cared to dance which she did and we danced for a good while which was a unique experience by all accounts

From my recollection the final song of the night before closing time would be the only slow song to end the night where one of the most memorable one feels just like yesterday was "I'm still in love with you" by New Edition who grew up only 6 miles from me back in 1995 pretty much before the internet and cellphones were still in the infant stage and to answer the question I asked someone and they happily accepted.

No because I try to avoid situations where I'd have to dance because I don't like dancing in front of other people because I'm afraid they'll laugh at me

SnowedIn · Answer

Did this all through middle and high school and my short time at college. Haven't done it in years, though.

You know, I don't think I ever have. I think either women have either always dragged me onto the dance floor. Or she just saw my spazzing out on the dance floor and wasn't too turned off by it to come up and dance with me. 🤣

lilyanony1 · Answer

In a club I've had men I wasn't attracted to ask. And I've had men just slide up behind me.  But I've always been the one girl left standing or dancing alone.
