Is it cheating to dance with someone else while you're in a relationship?

[AleDeEurope]

So if you go to a club, or party, and end up dancing with someone of the opposite sex, is that considered cheating? There’s no making out or anything like that, just dancing.

Yes, it’s cheating no matter what

It’s only cheating if it’s sexual/lots of touching

It’s only cheating if s/he’s hot

It’s not cheating

If it's sexual, yes I do. I think if my girl is grinding on a guys dick, it's pretty much cheating.

[RaeSheBae]

I think that is a bad idea to dance with another guy in some party.
The only man I want to dance is my husband or my father.
When we in family we can all dance together, each has their partner.
It's just wrong to dance (per example) with my sisters boyfriend, people could assume that we are vibing in some way...
In my African culture everyone dances with everyone it doesn't really matter, but when someone starts feeling some type of way than it's a big discussion...
Just dance with your man, stay away from dancing g with strangers touching your body ewww even if it's just touching your shoulder lol

[kaylaS91]

There are so many variables at play (such as how sexual the dancing is, who it's with and what kind of history you have with them if it's not a strange, etc.) that I'll just resort to a pretty good universal adage I use to gauge if something's cheating or not-
would you be able to tell your s/o about it and remain confident that they'll have no issue with it? If you're not having to resort to various methods of keeping the fact that you danced in a particular way with someone, you're probably in the clear.

Not cheating no.. but i'd consider it wrong.. i mean dancing with someone else in a relationship could be considered bad depending on the type of dancing.. if its romantic or sexual etc.. but if you're in a big group of friends and you're just having a laugh together even if male and female i think thats okay.. just know where to draw the line.

[AleDeEurope]

If it's wrong, why don't you consider it cheating?

[PrincessPie]

I guess when someone has been cheated on in my opinion it is either because they did sexual things with that person.. or they have emotional feelings for them..(emotional cheating) if someone just danced with someone it doesn't make me think of cheating even if its wrong to do.

[PrincessPie]

By the way.. im curious do you consider it cheating?

[AleDeEurope]

Read update :)

[PrincessPie]

Ah yeah sexual is not okay.

[FriendlyDrugDealer]

It's not cheating unless it's grinding or close physical gestures or sexual.

I tend to keep my distance when I dance with a girl if I'm in a relationship or at the most hold their hand for a moment (for the girl to do a spin or something like that)

I use the same logic when I'm single because I don't want her feeling uncomfortable or aggressive compared to how some guys are in a club. It just boosts my chances in my opinion

[OrangeBoy]

Nah if there's nothing more.
Oofcourse, some people are jelous and will probably feel bad and think to much.

[AleDeEurope]

So, hypothetically, if your girlfriend starts twerking on another guy, you won't mind?

[OrangeBoy]

I do, but im talking about "clean" dance whatever that means... like you said.
And twerking is not dancing, its some weird shit that appeared.

[Whatthefluff]

It's not cheating. But it is understandable for the other person in the relationship to be upset.

[i_research]

It depends on each individual of course.
For me, it is crossing the limit. This act would make me realize I did not pick the right one for me.
There are certain things I am not tolerate towards; that includes going to clubs; let alone dancing with another girl that is not blood related to him.

[AleDeEurope]

So you wouldn't like it if your boyfriend went to a club, even if he's not dancing or talking with girls?

[i_research]

That's right. I would make sure before we date that he is not someone who goes to clubs.

[la200allin]

If you would do it and wish your girl wasn't there or you wouldn't want her to be present then it's cheating. I have a very strict view on it because I've had family members on one side get cheated on by horrible people in the past. All marriages ended in divorce either because of cheating or major issues.

[samhradh_leannan]

I don't necessarily love the idea of my boyfriend dancing "with" another woman, but I don't consider it cheating, unless it is overtly sexual.

[AleDeEurope]

At what point do you start considering it sexual?

[samhradh_leannan]

Let me put it this way: if he is dancing with someone the way he would dance with his grandmother, then I don't consider it a problem. I may not love it, but I have to admit that he's not technically doing anything wrong. But as soon as there are gestures, movements, or touching that can be considered sexual or romantic, I would consider it a form of cheating/not okay.

[samhradh_leannan]

Like someone else mentioned, there are other variables too. For example, if there's a girl/person who has previously been an issue in our relationship, then dancing with them might not be okay even if the dancing seems platonic. If it's an ex, that might be questionable. Or if it's a complete stranger, that might seem suspicious. That sort of thing.

[Cosytoasty]

Ahaha, Im gonna say no for obvious reasons :P

Some dances are sexually charged by nature, so long as you draw the line at dancing i think you're fine.

[lovelyhoneybones]

Don't look at other chicks. Don't think about other chicks. No dancing with other chicks. Don't think about dancing with other chicks. You can talk to them, but that's it.

[flypaper]

No, it's not cheating but at 13 or 14 I would have been crushed -lol, it's all about perspective and where you are in your life I suppose.

[Nightinggale]

Nah man. Cheating is when dicks are being put into holes

[AleDeEurope]

Hmmm so a handjob is not cheating? lol

[Nightinggale]

No, I don't think so. Don't get me wrong though, I still think it's fucked up and shouldn't be tolerated. I'm only arguing the semantics of the word.

[existing_not_living]

It's not cheating but it is immoral when it comes to being in a relationship vs. being single.

[FlutteringFeelings]

Most definitely. Body to body contact or anything flirtatious is cheating.

[Prof_Don]

I voted B. Dancing with someone else is not cheating in itself... but there is a fine line that shouldn't be crossed.

[NaultD]

People step in on the formal dancing and dance with everyone

[Dr_Latex_McPeggin]

Not cheating but a very slippery slope. Better off to bring you gal and dance the night away with her.

[danyalovettie44]

It's cheating only if it's sexual

[AleDeEurope]

At what point do you start considering it sexual?

[danyalovettie44]

Probably if it's dirty dancing or when the guy would start touching the other girl's ass.

[JD7777]

it's only cheating if it was specified that dancing with others is cheating

[SunsetLover]

As long as it's JUST dancing, it's okay.

[AleDeEurope]

So you'd be ok if your guy danced pretty close with a girl, like grinding and all that?

[SunsetLover]

Grinding is not dancing. No sexual things or touching allowed^^

[AleDeEurope]

Grinding is not dancing? :/ xD
I get what you mean :P

[SunsetLover]

Depends on what you're dancing on ;p I mean yeah you can dance while grinding but I usually do that when I want to flirt with the guy not when I'm dancing with friends. It's particular lol.

[catelyntje]

It’s only cheating if it’s sexual/lots of touching

[AleDeEurope]

At what point do you start considering it sexual?

[catelyntje]

Dancing really close and touching
by the way I voted on both the questions 😛

[AleDeEurope]

Thanks.

[cupidkisses]

only if there's no emotional or phydical things

[blackwolf3x]

depends on the type of dance and who is dressed

[dakota_kallel]

I don't think so if its just dancing
