No Dancin' Fool
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't 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.
Thanks!

I have the same problem! I can't dance for my life. If a guy asks you to dance, just tell him straight out that your terrible at it. He'll think its adorable probably, and go on about how he can show you how to dance. And, just go with it. The only thing you need to know about slow dancing is to just move your feet back and forth. The guy should lead you in the dance, its way easier then fast dancing. With fast dancing, just move your legs around, and do a little arm waving. See how other people are dancing, and learn from that. Hope I helped! Happy Spring. Hope your prom is great. :)

I know what you mean by the whole "no thank you" thing. Maybe just say "how about a little be later, save me a slow dance" or something. That way you are distracting them and if they come to ask again it'll to be something easier to dance too.
Good luck.
