I used to hate dancing, and then I realized dignity was for suckers, so it really just takes me a drink or two and I'll be on the floor - aaaand usually seven or eight drinks will lead me to do the three Irish Dancing moves I remember from my childhood if there's some good maritime music on, like at most of the Canadian weddings I've been to
Also I love Swing dancing
I wish I could get a regular dance partner again so I could learn more aerial moves

I had a guy friend in undergrad who was super into swing dancing and I was always bummed that he was short and I was tall because I could never go with him.
I'm waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay too self conscious to dance, even with some alcohol. Wish I wasn't a lot of the time though.

I don't club dance, I swing dance.
Humor can be dissected as a frog can, but dies in the process.
I also feel very old. All the time, but specifically right now in comparison to the person I like. And we just got a new bunch of vols who are all 18-22 girls and I'm certain he will end up getting with one of them. On the one hand that makes me feel old and bitter and jealous but on the other I want it to happen because he's a nice lad and should have nice things happen to him.
Do your vols often hook up
Not super often but it is definitely not an unusual thing to happen. In the group of the last few months it's happened quite a bit. 2 'proper' couples and 2 casual hookups, that I know of. And I am generally pretty oblivious so there may have been more.

Dance because life is short and death is inevitable; memories of times spent gyrating in a coordinated manner will bring you joy and smiles as the darkness takes hold of you.

I imagine the isolation and nature make people feel shaggy
Dancing is hard and also embarrassing and I am too fat to do it.
Hey
Nope
It's cool to not like dancing, but don't let size discourage you from doing it
Some of the best swing dancers I've met are larger dudes
Once I stopped caring about what other people thought about my dancing is when I started having fun with it, because my old self-consciousness would hit and I'd wind up thinking about how EVERYONE IS LOOKING AND CAN SEE HOW BAD I AM AT THIS
(It turns out no one really cares about your moves in most dance situations unless you're really good, or you're grinding up on somebody who wants none of it)

Absolutely this! I was always way too anxious/awkward to dance in public until last summer, when two of my best friends got married. At the reception, my fear of dancing badly/making a fool of myself was overtaken by my fear of not joining in & so i decided to participate at all costs: i danced! A lot. I was hopeless (so bad!) but, of course, no one cared. And I had a great time.
I asked my crush if she would want to go to a bookstore and get lunch with me tomorrow
We both like to read and eat
She asked what time and hasn't said anything since I suggested a time
Deep breaths
If someone doesn't respond with five minutes I assume they hate me and wish I had never bothered them

Hey, you finally did what everybody's been telling you to do, despite your anxiety. This is a success. You didn't let the brain spiders control you. You can be happy about it!
You know, that whole "meeting people through your friends" doesn't really work when all your friends are about 5 to 7 years older than you and all their friends are 5 to 7 years older than you or are married or have kids or both.

I am a super bad dancer by myself, but give me someone who knows what they're doing and I can temporarily absorb some of their power and make do enough to have fun.

There you go! Now the next time there's a delay, you can cite this as a reminder that delay =/= disaster.
And honestly, this response means she's at least not against eating with you. It's basically an implied 'yes baring familiar commitments.' Because if she didn't want to go, she'd have told you already instead of texting a 'let me check that I can' much later.

You're assuming that one can gyrate in a "coordinated" manner.
I assure you, I can not. I know roughly one dance move and that would be the Commander Shepard.
I looked on OKCupid, Match.com and Zoosk earlier and managed to find some women who seem interesting. One of the Match.com results even lives in my hometown. I'm a bit confused, though; her profile says she's a Christian but is looking for an Agnostic, so I'm not certain what that means. Maybe she's not really religious but doesn't want her relatives to find out? I managed to find her on Facebook and discovered that she's the sister of a guy I was friends with in elementary school but lost touch with, so that might be weird. It doesn't say anything about religion on her Facebook, though, so maybe that's a good sign.
OKCupid seems quite a bit more thorough when it comes to matching people than Match.com and Zoosk, btw.

Guilty feet? Have no rhythm?
THOUGH IT'S EASY TO PRETEND

We could never do the fun swing stuff.
I swing clubs.
Don't forget to tip your waitress.

Yeah, neither do I.
Never stopped me.

In front of people is no problem after that
Or you have no friends
Not exactly the best people to set me up with somebody.
It's like, ok I'm moving in time to music. Now what? Oh, just more of this. Maybe something more interesting is going on somewhere else.
