Orgy or you lose.

That is all

And just because this is my standard reply doesn't mean i'm trolling, i'm Dutch i was raised this way.


"me" so i met this girl at a dance
"mom" orgy or you lose.

can you FEEL the stress in that? I really tried so hard, and got so far, then i realized that i'm no emo and 36 years old and had an orgy instead...

You can succeed too in love just buy my OS.

Edit because my englsh sucks half as much as greylicas.

Slackware: WTF

UPDATE:

OK if anyone ever wants to go swing dancing with someone else, don't do so as a date. You've been warned. It's an unspoken rule there that everyone dances with everyone else... and even from the get-go at the mini lesson they taught before the dance, you were split up and partnered with some random person of the opposite sex. Then you rotated through partners every dance or so.

And that's pretty much how it went. Danced with my date the first song (I'm absolutely terrible I found... she's real good and I think she was getting frustrated with me, so I had a pretty bad night in that regard). Every subsequent song you should see it... it's like a race to ask someone else. Like you spend the song you're dancing with both talking to your partner and scoping out your next one. It's an excellent way to meet people as you won't get turned down to dance with someone. Even the hottest chick in the place will say yes to you provided you ask her before someone else does.

Unfortunately that means squat, as you spend the dance talking to said chick (where they go to school, etc.) and when the song ends, it's on to the next person. Very little intimacy. It's a good confidence builder though if anyone has any trouble asking girls to dance or out or what not because no one will say no. (unless they're on their way out or already with someone obviously).

All in all I had fun though. It really wasn't a date whatsoever because I was with my date maybe for 15 minutes all night (danced for 3 hours). I'd like to see if I can get into it though... it seems easy enough and with a bit of practice I'm sure I could get the hang of it.

:thumbsup: interesting experience that I think everyone should try.

Edit: I told her I'm taking her to a club next weekend though, so no more of this prissy I'm-not-going-to-get-laid-tonight stuff. :p

Yeah. I kinda o_O 'd at the offer, but hey whatever, I have nothing going on tomorrow night. Anyone ever go swing dancing before? Any big expectations about it? Haha... I'm a terrible dancer so I think the whole night will be me making a fool of myself.

I'm 19. There were a bunch of college-age kids there and a bunch of older folks (60+). Very little in-between, except the creepy 40 year old single guys who go to dance with younger girls.

Worst way to meet women? I hope you're not kidding.

Worst way to meet women would be posting in ATOT
The goal of posting is not to meet women. Well, at least for me. I don't know about the others tho.

Hey now... I'm 38, and I would consider doing it just to learn how to do it. It's a skill that might be useful someday.

Dancing is a good way to initiate a conversation, or break the ice if you want to call it. You do all the talking when you're taking a break.

That's how things usually go...

"as you spend the dance talking to said chick (where they go to school, etc.) and when the song ends, it's on to the next person" - OP
