My initial Friday night Tango lesson and molinga tour had to be rescheduled which I was available for Sunday, at 8pm. I ubered, to a city full of local life into a bar then went upstairs to practice tango before the molinga experience. Believe it or not I was the only person that wanted to take tango lesson I guess everyone else already knew it. So it was just me and Catilina, as she broke down the bases of the form and initial steps one-by-one. She encouraged me enough to make me feel like I got this! So off we went to only (1) molinga where we entered an hour after it had already been open and it was packed, I felt a little overwhelmed. So there's a customary courtesy for guys to ask the women to dance which is something I don't do in my non-vactioning life, but today was the day! So I watched another women and men interact and the approach and my belief and confidence started to grow. I had my eyes set on an attractive to my left rear women, but before the changing of the dancers a guy started talking to her and that changed my whole plan, now I have to look for a new option. So I took the long way to the men's bathroom just see what women was in the building and I spotted one and went back to my table and informed my wing girl Catalina, that I spotted one across the room and that's the one I'm going to ask to dance, but I said to myself that is a long way across and Catilina, pointed out to me that it was a lady behind me looking at me up and down (licking her lips) yea. So I took a peak to see who it was when she wasn't staring and I said to myself she'll be a good first dance partner. That one dance lead to many more confidence dances with different women and I was asked to dance by a women who sent a waiter to my table to get my attention. I recieved some rejections from the experience dancer's, I assume that they already seen me dance and they didn't want any parts of me :) but this didn't damper my spirits as I left that venue on an positive high, if I didn't have an early morning tour the next morning I probably would have staying longer. Now I'm going to take this same men asking women to dance confidence in my normal everyday life.
