You. I honestly don't want to go. I thought for a while it might be fun to go to at least one dance in my high school carreer so I asked a friend -- it didn't work out so I shrugged it off.

You have something better to do than mingle with friends at a pseudo-informal dance?

As a matter of fact my grandfather's 70th birthday party (surprise!) falls at the same time.

So go late?  Birthday parties for old people are very rarely entertaining (or "required") for more than 20 minutes.

I always enjoy the time I visit with my grandparents..  I suck at life, I think.

[Chavo]

But you said you were going to spend the 4 hours sleeping.  Some grandson... 

I'm still not buying it.  You admit you've never been to one and insist you aren't going simply because you are too lazy to do so, not that you don't want to.  You are probably taking 'afraid' too literally.  I would argue that given the circumstance that you happened to be right outside the dance, didn't have to pay, and noone at all had any dates so you wouldn't feel out of place in that regard you still wouldn't go. 

If you didn't go under those circumstances it would be a classic case of anxiety towards a situation outside of your 'comfort zone.' If you were really 'just too lazy' then you would go to the dance in the above hypothetical situation, but I don't have any reason to believe that is the case.

He lives an hour away and I'm not street-legal.

I must say I agree.  I was the same way most of the time in high school.

So go if you think it would be fun to go for at least one dance. Maybe you'll hook up with someone?

So if she DID say yes and you did go... where would you be? What would you do?

Almost everyone at my school knew how to line dance, swing dance, and slow dance (if you don't know how to slow dance..... ).  However, most of us guys had no idea how to dance to rap.  This usually meant we were SoL because that's all they played at the dances.

Haha, yeah.  They played nothing but rap and country at dances at my high school.  That's all the played at the state FBLA convention too. :\

But anyway, I have no idea how to dance either.  I can slow dance (who can't?!), but that's about it.  I can move around like an idiot if all else fails!

Dancing, definition of
