To date or not to date... is it specific to tango?

Washed your face and hands before you came, did you?

Hi.... Tango Addict here.... tango relationships can be tricky. I've devoted my new blog to my experiences with love and life on the dance floor. Would love your comments. www.thetangoaddiction.blogspot.com

Besos,

My first inclination is to say NO DONT! but then I find myself talking excessively about my love for tango with my nontango dates. They all have the same "amused but confused" look on their faces. Perhaps they are impressed by my zest and passion or they are just really thinking "I should run right now before she asks me to try dancing with her." I find myself at ease with my male tango friends sharing in this love/addiction.... then there're all these other questions... like if I dated them... would we be able to handle the jealousy factor? The breaking up is the hardest part.... how do you go about splitting milongas?? Fortunately, I already went through this part. I can tell you it's not fun. Perhaps I should just treat each 3 minutes with my dance partner as a mini love affair.... which really doesn't sound all that bad.

besos,
Eva

You don't split 'em - you keep them all.

These things do take a little time to heal ... and during that time, it's best to avoid seeing each other at milongas. I do agree eventually you should feel free to go to all of them. Happy Dancing!

Besos,

... but it's not really enough, is it?

Now that's interesting... Given being the number of milongas in your town, how many breaking ups can you afford before you fell short of milongas?

 

[Peaches]

Ahem...

It's a quote from a movie. My Fair Lady, I believe.

Get your mind out of the gutter!

Why does breaking up have to be so hard that you would have to split milongas?

 

[The Tango Addict]

Well I can pretend I don't care seeing my ex at a milonga... but the truth is I probably won't be able to block out the fact he is there and notice who he's dancing with... then it might ruin my tango zen. Better to avoid it when emotions are still raw. I think it really depends on who broke up with whom. He left in my case... so therefore, I should get the first pick of milongas.

Eva
