I have not yet been married
Nor does there look like much chance of me getting married in the near future...which has the advantage that I may yet have time to learn to Charleston in time for my hypothetical wedding.

(Whether the hypothetical* bride will be able to Charleston in a wedding dress remains to be seen)

Aw dude I look like a flapper and would love to Charleston on my wedding day
But I've recently and drunkenly got myself pretend-betrothed.
If he scarpers, want me to ring you?

By all means
But bear in mind I've got to learn first...at the moment all I can do is the window-washing motion with a demented grin and I doubt I'm even doing that right...

I've got to learn too
And I also have to fit in a marriage and a divorce, so you'll have plenty of time.

I'm going to regret telling you this
But I could probably teach you to Charleston

Could you teach me to jitterbug too?
I want so much to jitterbug :(
( Roota zweeeeeoooooowm, Thu 4 Mar 2010, 10:18, Reply)

Yeah
Well, probably. It's a older form of the Jive which I'm pretty adept at, but sillier and with less attention paid to form, so relatively easy to pick up. Very energetic though

That's what I want
Aw man you and your missus must have BALL!
( Roota zweeeeeoooooowm, Thu 4 Mar 2010, 10:22, Reply)

I want to play too
b3ta dance lessons please. I'll trade you swing dancing for pole. And the charleston for burlesque.

We do, mostly
She takes it more seriously than me. I try to keep up so she doesn't ditch me
(Darth Foxtrot A one-man army dedicated to making fetch happen, Thu 4 Mar 2010, 10:25, Reply)

Always keep up
She deserves to dance and it's hard to find a man willing, let alone able.

It's true
my bloke wishes he could dance, but he won't come to street dancing lessons with me.

Big fan of the Bop.

Hmmm....think I might just be able to master the basics by then
I was dragged along to two dance classes by an ex. One session was Lindy Hop (good fun) but the other one was Tango. Faaaaaar too serious. And the guy teaching it kept telling us to try and feel "sensual" while we danced - it's taxing enough on my brain to try and make sure my enormous feet don't squish whichever woman I was paired up with, how am I then supposed to turn it into some sort of expression of desire?
(LongJohnBaldry, Thu 4 Mar 2010, 10:17, Reply)

Sack the tango
I'll have a go of lindy-hop
( Roota zweeeeeoooooowm, Thu 4 Mar 2010, 10:18, Reply)

Anything which involves swing or trad jazz is fine with me
At least then I don't have to take it seriously while I'm doing it.

Right. So probably then.
And while I'm being so personal -
Is you black too?

Go, Larry! Go!
See what else you can find out!

I am merely distracting you from the real game over there.

It's not working :-)
Back to Roota please
(Darth Foxtrot A one-man army dedicated to making fetch happen, Thu 4 Mar 2010, 10:31, Reply)

So Roota -
these ladies: how many exactly?
( Larry Vest One day at a time, sweet Jesus, FFS., Thu 4 Mar 2010, 10:33, Reply)

Two
One when I was 15, the next followed at 16 and hung around in my life like a bed smell for almost ten years.
I was not a lesbian all this time but I was a bit scared of her and she was my best mate so I loved her too.
Then she ran off leaving me in debt and nearly homeless and very 'lost' because she was a bit controlling so I missed the cow. Within two months I was as happy as Larry, Larry.

Please don't edit that!
Thats's what I was thinking of - remember the story now.
( Larry Vest One day at a time, sweet Jesus, FFS., Thu 4 Mar 2010, 10:39, Reply)

Why would I edit it?
What?
( Roota zweeeeeoooooowm, Thu 4 Mar 2010, 10:41, Reply)

Bed smell?
I'd picked up bits of that story over time, sort of pieced it together. Weren't the polis involved at one time?
