    Ah screw it. The Offer goes out to skinny gay men too. Don't forget, its just dancing, and you'd have to be the lady

    I'm never going to get one - No one likes me. I'm secretly being laughed at

    Wed Mar 10 2010 23:09:24 #
  7. Giles, hey, you know that is not true. Give it a chance, you never know who will be searching for a dance partner. I really thought it was an excellent idea to broadcast on youtube, so don't give up hope. No one likes you is a generalisation, we all like you here!! please don't let that last statement' ' I'm secretly being laughed at', true. Because it is not.

    I'll try. I'm worried I'm going to be a shell of what I used to be. Will I ever get back to the championship form of 2007-08?

    Wed Mar 10 2010 23:30:03 #
  9. Giles check out Gumtree, they often have ads for dance partners, you never know mate!!

    Wed Mar 10 2010 23:41:20 #
  10. Goodnite, and try not to worry too much, the best is yet to come!!!

  11. Dear Giles,

    How could you say no one likes you when you've got 14 friends on the forum and many more admirers. None of us are laughing at you only with you.

    You've got to have a little faith in yourself otherwise you'll give people entirely the wrong impression, that is people will start to think that you've given up on yourself. And that's not true is it? - you've obviously not given up as you still want to dance. You will dance again just have a little patience - Rome wasn't built in a day! In the meantime enjoy yourself and then without trying you will find the dance partner of your dreams.

    Take care

    TT (I'm so annoyed with the NHS that TT is resurfacing )

  12. BTW I don't think that your avatar does you justice. You're much better looking than your picture depicts

  14. Hey Giles. Give it chance, your videos have only been up there for a day or two. There's bound to be loads of women out there who'd happily be your partner. And 2007/8 wasn't that long ago, and you're still only 29, so your old form shouldn't be far away yet. Once you get a partner and start practicing again, you'll be back there again.

    Well, my dance teacher advised me that she hasn't danced for 2 years because she's had 2 kids. I'm not really sure it would work (the avoidance/response precention issue should be fine) because the question is could she afford and commit to it? I don't honestly see it happening.

  19. Hey! Give us moms a chance! She likely NEEDS to do it for her sanity!

    Sorry Andrea I've just been a bit of a git, there.

    I just want to know that she can afford the private lessons and the competitions, including the finals and not just do it socially - Its very expensive, you see.

    $150 for shoes/high heels
    $1600 for a years lessons (private/practise)
    up to $500 for a dress
    $250 for competition entries (much of that is made up of the finals weekend accommodation)
    $40 for the yearly medal tests

    I did a rough currency conversion for the above mentioned stuff

  21. wowsers...this is a concern...but you never know! maybe she's rich! lol

    Fri Mar 12 2010 23:28:31 #
  22. Wow Giles, you are a great dancer, I was very impressed, I wish I could dance that smoothly, You are awesome, you should have more faith in yourself. You will make someone an excellent dance partner!!!!

    This is part 4. Its a bit of a muck around video, where I poke fun at myself and shows that I don't mind a bit of jabbing

    Wed Mar 17 2010 11:30:12 #
  26. Great video Giles! Have you thought of doing a video playing the guitar? I hope you find the best dance partner ever. If I were near I would love to be your dance partner.

    Again, I merely try to do my best

    Kimberly texted today and said she wasn't missing dancing much. Thats ruled her out completely and narrowed down the field by 100%
