Should I go to the dance?

[gdude30]

Damn I sound like a teenage girl.

Except I'd look kinda freaky since my hair isn't long right now. Even though I could make it long

Erm anyways.

Yeah. So I just got back recently and rushed over to get some dinner. This kid in line is someone who's said hi to me on numerous occasions. He knows my name somehow and always seems to give me a cheery hello and asks how things are going. He once told me his weekend plans too which seemed kinda wie-

..Wait a minute. Is this that guy who wrote in my letterbox on the retreat "Even though we did not get to know each other that well I think you and I could be good friends." I looked alot for whoever said that. I wonder if I still have those letters. Maybe it was him.

I heard that there are lots of gay people in the theatre club. I know that one or two seniors are. And they are kinda cute.

But anyways back to the story. I asked him if he was going to the football game and he said he was too busy. He then paused for a minute and asked me if I was busy tonight. I told him I don't have much planned. He asked if I wanted to go to the blue masqurade (Theatre club) dance. He said I can go even though I'm not a member. I told him I don't really know much about dancing or like it that much. He told me "Oh okay, some other time then." Not wanting to blow a chance to get to know some people and have something better to do then sit alone in my dorm on a saturday night I asked him where it was. He told me and then we ate dinner with his friends. We talked a little more and someone mentioned I have to be a member to go but I can bring 8 dollars and then I'm a member. He told me that people who don't know much about drama and theatre are in the club as well. He said it's a good way to meet people and make friends. I told him I'd think about it.

I don't know if this guy likes me but I do gotta admit he is kinda cute. He could possibly be gay. But maybe I'd make some friends at the dance. It's at 10 o'clock so about 2 hours.

I really don't how to dance though and I suck at it. We had a Freshmen dance a while back and it was mostly hip hop and rap music so I left immediantly. I don't get into that kind of music. But maybe I could still make friends.

Maybe the question is this. Should I sit her in this cold dorm tonight alone thinking to myself..

Or go to this dance and either feel lost, make friends, be bad at dancing, or maybe have fun. Or maybe all of these things would happen there.

I really don't like drama and theater that much but maybe it's because I have never really seen some good plays or something. It wouldn't hurt to try. I guess as long as people know I am not really interested in drama. Sounds pointless for me to be there.

..But I could try to be interested and open my mind for something like that. Maybe..

I don't know.

I'm not real good at social events. I can sorta talk to someone one on one. But not really a whole group of people. I just don't want to come back regretting how akward I felt and how I did not do much and how I had a bad time.

..But at least I would have tried.

..Damnit what do I do?

 

[gdude30]

Go to the dance

Expand your horizons/boundaries

But I can't freaking dance >_>"

Doesn't that defeat the purpose of going to a dance?

Just like it defeats the purpose of going to a church if you aren't religious

Or voting if you don't like the choices

Or seeing a concert if you don't like the band

Or watching a show or movie you don't like.

What's the point of doing something you can't do or don't like?

 

[Croynan]

why don't you go. at least you will know someone at the dance and you might meet some nice people. i say give it a try.

i think the young fellow you have met is trying to strike up a nice friendship - as a courtesy to him i think it would be nice if you showed up.

serious item.

how are you doing with your studies and are you getting to your classes on time and attending all of them???

eM.

 

[LilBit]

^Yeah, what the slut said.

But dammit, don't stay out so late that you forget to do your homework tomorrow!

 

[gdude30]

Go ahead and go. You can always slip out if it gets to be too much for you. Just because it's called a dance doesn't mean everybody will be dancing. Most of the time people like to hang out and talk.

So I hear.

True..I did that last time. Maybe I can make some friends..

Yeah. I can tell he's been trying to be my friend for some time now. I'm surprised he hasn't given up by now. I've had a few people try and give up. I don't see the point of trying so hard. But then again like they told us at the retreat. Sometimes our friends pick us. And sometimes we pick them. Maybe I should start picking some friends..

That way people don't have to go after me. Well when you put it that way. He did look hurt when I told him at first I don't like dancing. He seems like a nice guy who seems to be friendly to everyone. I don't want to hurt someone like that.

Heh. Sounds kinda weird to go for him. But I think that's the exact reason why I should go.

It could be better.

Cutest title of the night eh..

Yeah. At least there might be some free food and drinks. I remember last time lots of the guys asked me afterwards if afterwards I wanted to go to some club or something. I told them no thanks. But i've heard gay clubs and gay bars ain't what they used to be and that maybe a straight club wouldn't be so bad too. I'm sure there might be a few gay or bi guys there as well. I don't mean that something like that would happen this time. I mean for the future to not reject an offer like that.

After party report..

Heh.

I'll do all that stuff tomorrow.

..Yeah.

I think I will go.

For that guy. Whose name I do not know.

 

[jimm04]

Yes ! GOA HEAD !

 

[Fucker29]

Go to the dance

Expand your horizons/boundaries

What she said! Just go ahead and give it a try! Don't rationalize too much, let loose, relax and just have fun.

 

[belamy]

This one was obvious but...

 

[seven_sins]

Go to the dance.

 

[trawler69]

But I can't freaking dance >_>"

You don't have to dance and it might even be fun learning

Just like it defeats the purpose of going to a church if you aren't religious

Some people go to church for social rather than religious reasons

Or voting if you don't like the choices

Some times you vote to keep the one you don't like out

Or seeing a concert if you don't like the band

Going to a concert is so different from listening to a CD, you might enjoy it just for the atmosphere

Or watching a show or movie you don't like.

If you never watched it you would never know. Nothing ventured.....etc.

What's the point of doing something you can't do or don't like?

Because you might find you can do it or might enjoy learning. I have a friend who didn't like vegetables, now he loves them just from being persuaded to try them.

I hope you enjoyed yourself.

 

[gdude30]

..I think I did.

 

[windgates]

I'm pretty sure someone doesn't invite you to an exclusive-y dance without wanting to dance with you, or at least being your friend. Unless this was a fund-raisery kind of thing. With limited information, I'd say hes into you, get to know him better. Knowing his name first though might help.

 

[gdude30]

I donno.

He did lead me around alot. As in led me around to meet others. I think he either wants to be my friend or wants to date me. I donno who is gay in the drama department. But from what I could tell tonight with my developing gaydar quite a few.

I am gonna try to. He is a nice guy anyways.

I learned his name tonight.

At least I think. Next time I see him I'll call him his name and see if it's right.

 

[gdude30]

..Yeah.

That's what the club is.

But one of the guys there had his gf with him.

I'm sure they all aren't gay. But I know some of them are.

Mostly the upperclassmen.

And that's what I've been told anyways.
