It's not that I don't like to dance, I would love to be able to dance. People don't understand why I can't dance since I play the drums and have since I was a kid and have been in 2 bands, my son is a drummer now and has played at Rocko's, Milly's and The Palladium, he is a good drummer and they the songs they come up with sound like HITS.

I think dancing can be very hot and romantic, I just don't know what to do with my hands. I can follow the beat, being a drummer and all, but the dang hands, what do you do with them. As a drummer you have sticks in your hand so you know what do to. Learning guitar now and still, the hands are busy there to.

Although, I can dance while on skates, roller skates or roller blades, love to twirl around and make the moves with a partner. My step father and his xwife competed in skate competitions so was on skates since I was really young.

My gf and I have talked about taking up dance lessons. I would really like to go dancing with her and I do hope we follow through with this. I can picture myself dancing but those dang hands get in my way. If I could dance 1/16 as good as Michael Jackson, I would be a very happy guy.

I had a good response to this, but for some reason, when ever I use Firefox on my iMac, it eats the reply and says, "Sorry, you have to have at least 2 characters to respond."

In short:

1) If you're taking ballroom or swing, don't worry about your hands. You'll be in frame, holding on to your woman most of the time.

2) If you do take lessons, and when most couples talk about taking lessons, they generally mean ballroom or swing, check out more than one studio in your area. My experience is the studios that are more interested in signing you to a long term contract are more about money than dancing. Many studios will offer lessons on a "pay as you go" basis. Also find the site for USA Dance (I won't link to it, I don't want my post to have to be approved). They have dances in many cities across the country. Often those dances include a lesson at the start of the evening.

I can't even remember what happened the last time I got to 2nd questions. I am not having a good eH experience lately (getting towards the end of the 4th week).

I'd happily answer any 2nd question anyone would send me, at this point!
I won't go into just how bad my eH experience has been. I'll summarize by saying 3 things:

1) I've been on eH since almost the beginning and so far I've met 4 women through it in person. That's about 1 every 2 years or so.

2) If you call Customer Service with bug issues, they will have tons of reasons why it's not a bug or they can't reproduce it or you should use another browser. If you have a problem with the system not working, they will say, "It just depends on if you're willing to be patient to find the love of your life," or, "It depends on how wide an area you're willing to search to find the love of your life." In other words, eH will put it back on you, rather than even thinking of accepting the possibility that there is the tiniest thing wrong or in need of improvement with their service.

3) While they talk big, I did the math for the year 2005 (it was the one where the figures were the easiest). The marriage rate for that year for eH members was just a little over 50% of the marriage rate for the US. Think about it: The eH population is ONLY people looking for serious relationships, and they still produce a marriage rate that's about half that of the general US population, which includes priests, the elderly in nursing homes who aren't looking, and every other kind of person who's not interested in getting married. I have yet to hear ANYONE at eH even acknowledge they've read or heard that point when I make it.

Dreaming I have no problem slow dancing, the hands are busy there. And the gf and I were not talking about ballroom dancing, we want to learn the latest dance moves and be able to get jiggy with it at any of the local dance clubs every so often.
