The Foolishness of Asking 'Anybody want to dance?' to Three Women
shared by Anonymous
Sometimes you have to make a fool of yourself to become wiser. We will all go through life looking foolish at some point, it is just important to learn from the experience. Here is a story about how I made a fool of myself in front of some women and what I learned from it.
I was at a bar, having some drinks and was feeling pretty good. Earlier, my friend and I had chatted to a group of three friendly girls. I wanted to dance and was feeling pretty brave so I went up to these three girls and asked, "Anybody want to dance?".
Ouch, what a terrible line. The question itself rightly annoyed these girls and they barely had the energy or interest to say 'no'. Even if these girls were interested, what were they supposed to say, "Oh, pick me, pick me please!".
I had good intentions and was tring to be polite but I was not specific. I should have gone up to the girl I liked the most and asked her if she wanted to dance. Floating out a general question like that in front of three girls to see if anyone is intersted is foolish no matter how well intentionned it might be.
