your standing there looking all cool, talking to your mates, when someone comes over and says "Will you dance with my friend".

saved you a lot of embaressing fumbling and mumbling when you were 15!!

didnt happen to me that often tho. lol

work. the curse of the drinking classes!

Lenny it's funny that you say that - when a gang of us used to go to the Saint Paul’s socials we used to do that.  We would spot a lad and then send a friend over to say "see her over there; well she wants to dance with you".  It worked like a treat!!!! Glad to see it saved you some awkward moments...

i had a mate who from behind looked very much like a girl. he was allways being asked to dance by blokes, then hed turn around, the blokes would sheepishly grin and run away. was very funny.

[QUOTE=Lenny3fingers]

I remember during slow sets sending messages and signals to your mate/s and visa versa to signal whether you were on a winner or not. In other words you were gettin good vibrations and lettin them know to buzz off and leave you to it.

The very first time I went to the Grove, a girl came up to me and said that her friend wanted to dance with me. I went over and she was lovely looking Smile
Anyhow I managed to get my hand in under her top which was a first (I was very sheltered when young!).
Later the same night I pulled another young one and got to 2nd base again Clap
I really looked forward to heading the following week.

Unfortunatley it rarely went like that !Cry

hahahah - the first time i went to the groive that happened!! 2 girls in one night! i thought i was such a stud.

 

best time was when i was seeing one girl who could only go to the grove every second week, and another girl who went to the grove every other second week. they were never there together. hahahahaha

Got it in one Killian.

We've all said that it's a shocking pity that there's nowhere like The Grove for our kids to go when they reach 15 -16.

Having said that,if they saw the carry on of their supposedly mature parents at the Reunions,they'd run a mile.( I know my 12yo would be gone like a bullet.)

You're right lenny its almost the perfect moment except for, well the exceptional moments i guess , picture this and feel my pain.

we're standing in the corridor in between both entrances to the hall. myself and my three good buds, as all young men do , we've been talking about the birds that are in that night and to my great pleasure my dream girl was there. if i told you that i liked this girl i'd be lying, i'd been f**king infatuated for a year and a half and had barely gotten the courage up to talk to her let alone ask her up. anyhooo the lads all knew this so you can imagine my surprise when the two lads who were leaning against the wall suddenly started staring over my shoulder with eyes that were getting wider and wilder by the milli-second. i felt a small tug on my left arm and i turned around. it was her..................................... . Dream Girl (name being withheld)

 ' can i ask you something' she said ,  i thought my heart was going to burst right through my ribcage. 'yes' i thought, its finally happening and in front of the lads too! this night couldn't get any better. then came the words that will be etched in my brain forever , " WILL YOU DANCE WITH MY FRIEND "

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA  DAMN IT!!!!!!!!!!!!

And did you?  In the hope you'd end up seeing her and then dump her for her mate!!!

Stealing a girl from under your mates nose is punishable by death.
At least we never fell out about it.

Hi Black Russian,

....maybe you had a narrow escape, did you ever hear of " The World's Shortest Fairy Tale " ?

Once upon a time a man asked his girlfriend to marry him.

She said " No " and ............he lived happily ever after.
