There are some second questions that I just loathe getting because they are so different than the way I think. (For instance, I don't buy into three wishes or the idea of wanting to do things with no consequences.) But there is one I love to get. I've posted this before, but that was over a year ago, so many people here never saw it and others probably forgot it.

Some people love this response, some say it's too over the top. I say, as a writer, it's my job to pull people in and, if I'm asked why I like something, to paint a clear picture of why I like it.

The exact eH question is, "Describe an interest you have that you would truly hope your partner could share with you."'

My answer is:

Ballroom dancing. Definitely. I know a great dancer who's husband won't even try it. He knows she's good, but he'll never know what a thrill it can be to tango with his wife and lead her into a promenade with a double-underarm turn. Honestly, it's easy to learn (I'm 101% klutz and I learned!) and I've always wished I could be out on the dance floor with a girlfriend when that tango music started and we took each other in a cat-like stance and started tiger-stalking across the dance floor, me pursuing as she backs away, both of us looking aloof, pretending not to care, but sliding, stealthily gliding over the floor as we reach a corner, snap our heads to one side, and move, side by side, in unison, into a promenade, twirl away from each other, arms flung out as I peer at her, eyes burning, ready to pounce, then slide past her as we circle each other and swing back together into that catlike stance, with me once again stalking her as she seems to try (but not to hard!) to slip away.

Some might say it goes too far, but I have yet to have a match close me out after I give this as an answer to that question, so it seems to work.
