I'm a 17 year old female and my prom is tomorrow night. I don't have a date, but I'm going with my best friend and another friend of hers (this was planned from about mid-year).
My problem is that I can't dance to save my life. I can follow if it's a slow song, but I can dance to anything fast. I just wasn't gifted with rhythm I guess. It's too late to learn now and I'm not willing to embarrass myself so here's my question:
What if someone asks me to dance? How do I say no without being rude or giving them the idea that I'm not or could never be into them. If I'm into the guy or interested, I don't want him to get the wrong idea and just walk away.
I know "No, thank you" isn't rude, but I don't think I could say that to someone. I don't want the guy to feel rejected. I may sound conceited, and if I do I don't mean it. I know being rejected by me wouldn't ruin the guy's evening and I probably won't get asked anyways, but I want to be prepared with something.
