Diana photographed me holding her drink at One Big Event |
The music was contemporary, which means I did not recognize most of the songs. I thought about requesting something from the last century, but I did not have a dance partner.
Do I ask a gay guy to dance with me?
Do I ask a straight guy to dance with me?
Do I ask one of the women who have been eyeing me all night to dance with me?
Do I wait to be asked to dance?
So many choices!
I love to dance even if I am not familiar with the music, but what is the proper etiquette in this situation?
I harken back to my days in high school and college attending dances and usually being turned down by the girls I asked to dance. Would it be a UCONN mixer all over again?
Would I appear desperate asking a guy to dance?
Would a guy reject me because in their eyes I am really a guy?
And asking a woman to dance is a conundrum I am unable to dicipher.
Being asked to dance would have been wonderful, but I would not be surprised if potential dancers were just as unsure about the proper etiquette as I was.
As I mulled this over Saturday night, I recalled that this happened every time I attended One Big Event in the past. And it always put a damper on the evening.
I hung back for about 30 minutes waiting for a Prince or Princess Charming to ask me to dance, but it did not happen. So I went home.
