Asking Someone To Dance

Posted on 10/27/2009

Asking someone to dance is a great way to let someone know you find him or her attractive. It is true that dancing and talking at the same time can be difficult, but you don't have to wait until the dance is over to have a conversation. Sometimes it is hard to hear over music or to talk and move your feet at the same time, so instead of worrying about making small talk, let your body do the talking.

When you are dancing with someone you like, make eye contact. Once you decide how close you want to get the person, there are a lot of things you can do to indicate your interest. If you are a man, you can draw your partner a little closes, unless you sense she is not comfortable being that close.

If you are a woman, you can put your hand on your partner's back, rather than resting it on his shoulder. You can squeeze your partner's hand or gently caress his or her back. If you are fast dancing, make a lot of eye contact with your partner. Looking around the room as you are dancing sends the message that you feel uncomfortable or that you would rather be doing something else.

There all kinds of subtle moves you can make to tell your partner you like him or her. The next time you are somewhere there is dancing, watch the people on the dance floor. Most of them aren't saying a world to each other, but messages are flying back and fourth loud and clear.

Another way to approach someone for the first time is to buy the person a drink. When the person you are interested in orders, watch carefully to see what he or she is drinking. If you can't figure it out by watching, ask the waitress (if any) and have her let the person know who bought the drink. If the person you are interested in is with friends, it would be nice gesture to buy the friend a drink also.

Once the drink is delivered, watch for the person to wave or acknowledge you, but even if he or she doesn't, go over and introduce yourself. If she or he is with another person, introduce yourself to the friend as well. Although you may only want to have a conversation with the person you are interested in, don't exclude the person's friend from the conversation.
