Some friend and I were hanging out at the Z Lounge, South Side, not too long ago. My friend is a DJ who used to spin House music there. Few people typically dance there, but we didn't care. While making our own good time, I noticed a girl watching us(me) out of the corner of my eye. I immediately motioned "come here" with my hand before slowly turning my head to look at her. Her face dropped.... she came over and started dancing. We talked a little, and somehow got on the topic of dancing. I said something like, "I like taking the opposite hand when I spin a girl because..." and I took her hand to slowly spin her around one saying, "it leads to easy to...," as she spun another half turn as I put my hand on her side and pressed myself into her back.
I noticed her head drop a little, her eyes close, and all her attention focus inward, all signs that her emotions were swelling up inside her, but, in this moment I discovered something about myself. This reaction is strikingly similar to someone getting angry, which invokes a certain amount of fear in me. It comes from upbringing, the parents yelling at me thing. Anyway, here I was with this girl... actually a little afraid that she was now angry at me. I was conscious of my reaction, and I immediate had to stop and write down my revelation. I think that's where I lost her. She was fun, but her and her friend eventually left for Halo.
