Article: It helps to have an understanding partner
Saw Al at the Vintage Waltz brunch and asked him how his dancing was going.
Al said, "It helps to have an understanding partner."
Yes it does. I had a girlfriend who was my dance partner at Israeli dancing,
but she did not want me to go social dancing with her. She thought it cramped
her style.
On Sunday afternoons, we would be hanging around and then, without saying
anything, she would start getting ready, take a shower, put on nice clothes,
put on her make up and then leave.
I did not feel like sitting around Sunday nights, so after she left, I went
out some place else Israeli dancing. I got lucky and had a great regular
dance partner, really fun, attractive woman and former dance teacher.
After a while, my girlfriend got mad at me. She complained that Sunday afternoons,
we would be hanging around and then, without saying anything I would start getting
ready to go out, take a shower, put on nicer clothes and then leave.
Well my-ex and I are still both single, while Al and his understanding
partner are getting married in November. Congratulations Al.
