thanks for all your responses! I want to resposnd to all of them but am going dancing, so will be brief. I think it did give me a bit of a turn and put me on the spot. As we aren't supposed to refuse I felt I couldn't, but my heart was racing.
I dunno about it all. I expect that she felt safer dancing with a woman and could ask me whereas maybe asking a guy felt a little ambiguous?
I feel though that its not something I had ever thought I would have to do... god I've just realised that I experienced performance anxiety. Funnily enough I don't care when I dance with a man they lead I follow and just sort of enjoy it. being the guy I felt REALLy responsible....
I hope that I never feel like that again and don't know what I'll say if I'm asked again!
GUYS how do you COPE with it
