Dateless at Dance Forums

Just curious. A bunch of people in the forums keep mentioning the difficulties of dance relationships, and relationships in general. And I won't name them, but there are some really flirtatious guys and gals in the forums, looking for dates. So how many of you are in committed relationships? I'll make this a poll, so you can be anonymous if you want. :wink:

And, if you care to comment, does your commitment/relationship status have anything to do with your dancing, good or bad?

I live life with passion and zest. I throw myself into whatever I do. I'm committed to my gf. Long term / short term...I let things flow the way they do. How good dancers we are has nothing to do with it. We do have different views of dancing, though.

Hmm, I've backed off on the flirting these days...that's Neo's job now. And I think most people know it was merely for humours sake...I've never been serious about it. I don't consider DF a place to find dates...I do enjoy talking with people from other parts of the world...the internet is great for pen-pals and that's how I see DF. Even if you talk with someone that seems interesting, they are usually really far away, and I've done the online dating thing, and its not for me. Never again! :?

Funny you should ask...before I really got into Salsa I would get depressed over a courtship or dating situation gone sour because they were very few and far between in my life. Now I meet attractive women all the time...and while no new romance has developed...I have forgotten about all of the past women that I still had feelings for. Who has time to fret over past issues when you meet so many lovely ladies while Salsa dancing?

Even the ones I meet in dance that I lose interest in or I find are taken don't get me down for too long. There's always a new face...someone to ask for a dance with the possibility of romance in the future...that's something to look forward to! :wink:

Single and always looking when I am. 8) I don't go to swing dances trying to pick up chicks, although the kind of girl I look for WOULD be that kind of girl. :wink:

Unlike many people I know, I can be perfectly happy without a significant other, and like Sagitta I live life with passion.

Flirting is great fun! I figure everywhere is a potential place to find dates... I won't do any long distance relationships, but you never know where you might end up, so no point closing off options. If you'd have asked me 2 months ago if I thought I might be in New York next year, I'd have said hell no. Now I'm looking into visa information...

I'm very picky about who I get into a relationship with, which is why I'm currently single. If I wanted a girlfriend just for the sake of having a girlfriend, I wouldn't have any problem finding someone.

I believe you, NeoDevin. You're a hunk with a great sense of humor. And you can cook! Actual food. :shock: What woman could resist that combination? 8)

I'm happily married to Salsa. ROTFL :lol: :lol: :lol:

I started dancing because I heard it would be a good place to meet women. That turned out not to be true, and I've never found a girlfriend through dancing. I don't even try asking women out anymore.

Glad to see I'm not the only one dreaming! :lol:

I voted for "Others"... :roll:
I´m married, yes.... but happily... I have to find out first! :wink:

Yup. I thought about the various options for married,but figured I'd better not get too personal. :?

I'm happily married, and my wife and I are about to go out dancing. We've been practicing the steps from the Dance Vision Syllabus and now we are ready to go try them in public.

Hmm, lots of single folks here. BTW - what does 'other' represent? Or maybe I shouldn't ask... :? :shock:

Other includes anything not on the list... single by choice, unhappily married, etc.

Interesting thread, Jenn. Quite relevant too. Given that a few of us (perhaps more) have had a lousy Valentine's Day.

I love my DF........that's why I would never think of it as a place to look for dating potentials. Hell, when we go out dancing they are all out there :roll: !

I've voted "others" for the time being....

My salsa is my one true love. That extends above & beyond any relationship (but it doesn't stop us from being hopful :roll: :lol: ).

Dreamers we are........
