OP----Sorry, that is a bummer! BUT, would you ever be comfy just starting a big group dance? At the weddings and other events we've been to, DH and I do love to dance together, (ugh.... before I had joint issues!) ---but MANY times, a big group starts dancing together, and it's a BLAST! DH and I always end up joining the groups, then we alternate back to dancing alone for a song or two, then join the big groups again. It's also VERY fun when a "train" starts, or a bunny hop, a chicken dance, etc. Anyone and everyone joins in for that! It's especially fun for people that didn't have a date and/or I have 2 sisters-in-law whose hubbies do NOT dance, so they just join the big group My family does the group dance thing, but his does not. I knew (very casually) a woman who would just dance by herself with an imaginary partner. It was a bit odd for slow dances, but I have thought of doing that. I don't have that much self confidence.

..will be a dancing fool!! I am so tired of sitting and tapping my foot to the music while everyone else is having a good time on the dance floor. Wedding receptions are not fun for me...or birthday parties when there is dancing involved. (sigh) I dated one man who liked to dance as much as I do. Rest of them were not dancers. Have you told him how much it means to you ? Apparently his desire NOT to dance trumps any feelings I have on the dancing. (sometimes he can be an insensitive person)

My husband is the same way. I know exactly how you feel.

I will be married to someone who is absolutely crazy about me. Not just during the dating phase or for the week of the honeymoon. At least for the first year of marriage. It would be nice if it were forever. I am asking for a lot I know.

have an easy to spell and pronounce name! I went from a tricky Italian name to a difficult Irish name - which NO ONE in Germany can get near. an easy name would be nice, mine is Hochstrasser it mean high street in German. and it would be awesome if his mother like me.

I already traded in Mr. Wrong for Mr. Right. I'm pretty sure there's no Mr. Perfect.

I count myself very lucky. But since we're fantasising, my next spouse will be my current one, but 20 years younger before the cares of the world wore him down. When we first met, I was recovering from a crappy relationship and he was my saviour, the cook, the one building me up and making me laugh. Now it's the other way round and I get so tired. I don't want another man, I want to have back the man I fell in love with. ETA: Oh yeah, I'd give him the dance gene too. He's EXACTLY the same as yours with dancing.

My next spouse will be a complete handy man - able to take on home projects as easily as putting on his shoes. My current husband can barely do anything handy and has no interest in learning. We could save a bundle! I know much more than he does and I am really tired of being Mrs Fix it while he sits there. My next spouse will be super tidy and make sure our home is always presentable. While my current husband is not a slob, he also is happy just to sit in a mess and not motivated to straighten up. Everything is the easy lazy way. Based on those two responses, I'll say my next husband will be rich so we can just hire people. Same with mine. Doesn't know where we keep the tools.

The next one will have a happy heart; go to work (daily) to support his family without grumbling, deal calmly with the bumps in the road, and go to church with me.

Automatically put things away, not down.
Love my DH more than I could ever express, and wouldn't trade him for the world, but his ability to create more work in many aspects of our lives sure drives me batty!

Be a communicator and be home more. Mine just doesn't say much but expects the house to be unreasonably peaceful. Also, he won't go country line dancing with me (or even try it) so I'll take a dancing fool too.

I have a friend who always says that she needs to have someone who she can talk to for hours and hours. But yet she complains that he doesn't help around the house, with the kids, etc. Hmmm. I'll take the quiet dude. As for what I do wrong, Hee. I could make the list.

If you want him to dance, practice at home. Somebody has told him he is a bad/silly/ stupid dancer, so he is probably afraid to get out on the dance floor.
Tell him dancers are better lovers

Be very careful what you wish for.
My husband's father is a "dancing fool( more like asshat). His current friend is a gal he used to dance when his wife was too tired too dance. All the woman wanted to dance with him. I think he would sneak off into the corners with some of them. His wife finally got to suck for them to go out.

Honest. My next spouse will be honest.
His integrity will be a shining light that draws me to him.
I will never have to question a word out of his mouth.
I don't care about money, looks, even dancing.
But honesty is the deal breaker.
-------and he will pick up after himself

funny how many of you say "handy" around the house. DH is a contractor and self-employed... he CAN do all the stuff that needs to be done around here... just no time and no money to do it. so wish for a handy 2nd husband, but also that he comes with the means to do something with his skills for you guys! dh is not a dancer, don't care about that, i dance alone, but probably not to a slow song... that seems a bit weird. unless this appeals to you... first part is cute but skip to 2:30 to see i dance alone

Ha ha, I can relate to this! Mine is very handy, also is self employed in a service business. We have the money to do the projects that need doing, but by the time he gets home he doesn't have the motivation. He has a physical job, so I don't like to rag on him about the stuff that needs doing. He knows it already and my nagging about it isn't going to make anything happen any faster. For example, within a week or two of moving into this house, our neurotic dog managed to trash no less than six first floor window screens (some metal, some fiberglass). DH can fix both kinds and even has all the tools to do it. We've lived here for four years now. Exactly one screen has been fixed (and that happened just last week! Yay!), even though our kid is loudly afraid of flies and other bugs. It kind of sucks not being able to open the windows knowing a crapton of bugs will find their way in through the holes in the screens if we do. There are times I wish I could justify calling someone to come fix this stuff!
