        I’m 52, married and up until a few years ago I did dance nights regularly. Charleston, swing, salsa, tango, etc with women half my age was a regular thing. It doesn’t have to be weird if you don’t make it weird. They were lovely and we had a blast.

        PS: Dancing (Ballroom, hip hop, etc) is a great way to make sure you don’t lose mobility with age. Once you hit ~45 keeping, your mobility starts to be an constant effort.

          sadly I have two left feet… I hear you though. I love to people watch and attractive young ladies are attractive but I’m not asking for anything other than enjoying that moment

              Seriously. I found our local vocational school has an evening program for adults including dance classes. Good exercise, nice way to spend an hour and meet a few folks. If you’re new, just take a beginner class! If you aren’t ready to move up from there by the time it’s done, take it again next semester. Lessons usually are not that expensive and everyone is there to learn–it’s ok to have 2 left feet, you’re just trying to get a little more control/comfort using em 🙂
