| yes the build up seldom matches the actual event
also, does he dance? is he comfortable dancing, even just the "unfortable guy" dance is fine- you the sort of swaying and lifting of feet once in awhile
remind him that lots of guys don't dance really well, but just dance anyway
and remind him that even if he feels "weird" its okay, but if his date wants to dance, just go for it!!!
also, remind his date may get asked by someone else to dance, she may dance with other gfs and its oay if he asks another girl to dance if his date is busy dancing
this part of dances is awkward even for the smoothest of guys
and let him know that if he asks someone and she says no, don't worry about it, it is no big deal
when my D started going to dances, i gave them the general ettiquette rules....the big one being don't do anything to make someone else feel bad, if they ask you and you go egad, be nice about it, and try and say yes most of the time and if you do say no, don't dance with anyone until that song is over.
And yeah, let him know that sitting and talking with each other and others is fine and lots of fun.
One of those rights of passage us mom types dream about!!!
And you don't have to buy into the big limo stuff. And if she wants to drive them, that is just fine if he doesn't yet drive. |
