Hey Boston Social Club,
I’m looking for something a little unconventional, a practice dance partner.
I’m 32M and currently a PhD student. I’ve spent a lot of my life focused on academics and career goals, and I’ve realized I haven’t put much time into building confidence in social and dating situations. I’d like to work on that in a low-pressure, respectful way. My last date walked out on me because I sweating the entire time, and was too nervous.
So here’s the idea: I’m looking for someone local who’d be open to meeting up and helping me get more comfortable with the flow of social interaction, framed around dancing. Think of it as “training wheels,” but for being relaxed and natural with another person. If you have more experience, I’d really appreciate feedback or gentle corrections along the way.
Why not just go to clubs? Loud environments aren’t really my thing. I’d prefer something more relaxed where we can actually interact and learn.
If we meet and I get nervous and sweaty, please don't take it personally. It is not you, but me!
A bit about me:
- Asian, 6'1".
- Easygoing: I’d rather talk about movies, shows, or games than anything too serious
- Friendly, respectful, and not looking to make things weird
Logistics:
- I’m based in the Boston area
- I have a car, so I can come to you if you’re not easily accessible by the T
- Open to meeting somewhere casual like a studio or low-key spot
If you’re interested, feel free to message me with a bit about yourself and what kind of setting you’d be comfortable with. Even though I'm straight, I'm open to hearing from all people (women, NB, men). Your race, gender, who you love, who you pray to (or not) or appearance doesn't matter to me! Just be a good human.
Thanks for reading, and maybe we both get something fun out of it.
