Let's wrap up this conversation with the thought of
"Do to others what you would like them to do to you".

If you think about it, a very powerful
phrase. Wouldn't the world be a better place if we all lived by this ?

Prisoner = committed bad deed, remove from society = bad person = not someone you want around you, especially not on the dance floor.

I am glad that i am not the only one having trouble with a partner in the dancing arena. Other than the experiences that i have heard of, most men/women back off when told to do so, unfortunately not this one ).

Here is what i am dealing with.....since it is halloween he/she should really wear a prisoner outfit, it will suit him/her pretty well.

I can't quite make out from your message whether you are male or female (peetjedanst)..... i'd like to know what you said to your partner to get rid of him/her ? I have tried several tactics with this "prisoner" but he/she seems to be hard of hearing or maybe just not "with us" ( Maybe english is a bit of a problem ...).

( I hate to ask non dance related questions on this dancetalk website, but since this topic has been such an active one, i just could not resist. )

I would like to request that we keep the conversation respectable, not everything that has been said in this conversation topic should have been said.

Petra,

Don't worry, I didn't understand the references to the prisoner either.

My hustle partner and I met in 1976, got married in 1980. But the truth is, I believe we enjoyed dancing so much that the romance of it all made me overlook too much.

We are now divorced.

hi again,
I told about the confusion between my dancepartner and me. We decided that we will be just friends, nothing more. And it's better this way. Dancing is better now and we both are happy.
dancelove,

hello,
"What did you say"asked wether I'm male or female. The answer: I'm female.
I think you misunderstood something: you asked "i'd like to know what you said to your partner to get rid of him/her?"
Well, I did not get rid of him. He is still a (very good) friend of mine. But we're only friends now, nothing more. We talked about 'us' last friday and we decided it would be better this way. That's all.
Sorry, but I don't know what you mean with all that 'prisoner'thing. Maybe I don't get it because I'm a dutch girl? (Or that I'm just stupid )
Dancelove,
Petra

I am sure there is lots of details that have not been mentioned......... there is always 2 sides of the story....

Yes, your original post was clear about the situation. How just a dancer managed to misread it, I don't know. But I guess you should be glad that your husband was looking at and commenting about you and not someone else, right?

I think women know that they can have a strong effect on men, but as you said, underestimate it and don't realize that sometimes it doesn't take a whole lot to draw our attention. Tying your shoes is a good example and I've noticed it before, too. There's really not much you can do about it though, you have to tie up your shoes, and I think that's why you don't think anything of it. But as you found out, you could also be giving "quite an eyeful" when you do so. I don't stare or comment when I notice it because it wouldn't be very polite and you can't really do anything about it, but it has caught my eye before. So yeah, sometimes it doesn't take a lot to catch our attention, but even if you're aware of that you might not be able to do a whole lot about it in some cases. So I guess in those cases I'd suggest being glad that you draw looks rather than being mad/upset with us for looking.

Somehow I don't think that's going to work... the originally poster was pretty clearly interested in the girl, and showing it - in fact doing to her exactly what he hoped she would do to him - only she wasn't interested.
