Nervous Beyond Words

*G_Man* · 11-18-2007, 03:09 PM

In about 2 hours I will be stepping foot into one of the nations finest Hotels for a charity dinner and dance.

Seems unremarkable, except for the fact I was pretty much phobic about dancing until recently. In September I started lessons. I learned to dance cha-cha pretty shitty and East Coast Swing okay.

I've since been to several dances and I am fairly at ease dancing with the ladies I know.

Tonight though...

Maybe a Waltz and most likely a foxtrot and perhaps some East Coast depending on the band.

The worst part is this: My Date.

Literally scared to tears about letting her down. I am NOT a very good dancer yet. Okay at best. She on the other hand... well, she is giving lessons and a Waltz Exhibition tonight!!!!

I know she loves me and I dance fine enough for her for now. And she mostly wants me to do the slow dances with her, especially since she's never really danced with anyone she truly loved before. This of course makes me even more nervous...

Wish me luck folks.

G_Man is off to dance with the Star. And the Star is also the professional dancer.

Damn I feel insufficient sometimes.

Thought this might help explain many of the changes around here also.

You will do fine G. I wish i could be there to see it.

I can understand the nerves I would be nervous also.

You'd better give us an update tomorrow!!!!

Good luck!

Wishing all the very best for the ball G and I know whatever happens, She will not love you any less.

Even if you fell flat on your arse you'll just get back up and carry on regardless...same as falling off a bike. I'm sure she doesn't intend to put you through all this unnecessary pressure.

haha...

As always, too much built up suspense for nothing.

Dance was a let down to say the least. Dance floor was a temporary one and tiny. Too crowded and not appealing to me at all. So, I did not hardly dance at all.

I did get a couple of nice foxtrots in with Melissa though. Went went out in the foyer!!

Much more room out there.

Got to really talk to some of the other classmates for the first time though. That made the night totally worthwhile.

Now, back to the grind of dance lessons and trying to keep the relationship on track.

Glad everything worked out in the end and a bit of relief for you too.

I am surprised to hear of the small dance floor in such a fine hotel.

The hotel didn't blow so much as the Sponsors. Should have had the dance in the Marie Antionette Ballroom - absolutely stunning room.

Oh well.

There will be other occasions for you to show your stuff and of course by then you will have improved a lot more too.

Actually, you'd be right after Ron AND Joe.

Both guys that end up following in class from time to time when there is a shortage of gals.

I actually enjoy dancing with Swing with Joe for the sheer hilarity of it. Joe is significantly thicker than I am. There is just something totally wrong and funny about to fit guys go full bore doing East Coast or Lindy Hop!!

Oh to be a fly on the wall... Glad you're having fun. I think all men secretly want to be good dancers... hmm

What an image I've just conjured up.
