On the other hand, I met my wife 5 years ago at my college's swing and salsa dancing clubs, and I always found it much more awkward to get a random message from someone on Facebook trying to flirt with me "digitally". To each their own. I don't know which generation is yours, but it really depends on the setting of the "social gathering" to determine whether approaching a member of the opposite sex would be considered awkward. I interacted with many women at that dancing club and had many opportunities to carry those into full-blown relationships. I see it often at dance clubs (talking ballroom, swing, salsa, etc. clubs) even outside of college. I am biased because of course that's where I met my wife, but many of my friends had the exact same experience.

I'm 34 old. lol I think you did the right thing. My humble old man opinion is that we need to go back to that in-person dating, and social connection. Get offline and interact with one another. I applaud you sir.

I wish I had gotten into that scene a decade ago. It occurred to me too late that it was a real easy way to get a 'feel' for women and you'll easily interact with quite a few women in the course of a night (even with my shyness, although it was still a little tough). Feel as in, you can see how well the move and interact with you, and it sort of gives you some insight on their personality.

I'm in my mid 20's, but most of the people I talk to are between 20 and 27 years old. Dancing clubs aren't very common here, but that seems like a great place to socialize. Maybe it's an age thing or maybe it's a location thing, but I don't know a single person who participates in a dancing club. Most of my peers either play video games in their basement or go to the bar. That's pretty much it. I live right outside of Philadelphia, BTW.
