dear diary,
i want to ask her to dance.
what if she says no?
what if she says no after one song?
what if she hates the way i move?
...
what if after a few steps her body stiffens and she disengages and she doesn't look at me and i can tell i just know that she wants nothing to do with me?
... ...
i am a wuss.

I love this post, it almost makes me caress you forehead and tell you: go ahead, she is as scared as you are...
thank you, TFTM.
after i wrote this, i found the courage to ask the wonderful women to dance. (isn't it strange that voicing the fear helps so much?)
(some have said no, but always nicely. many have said yes, and thanked me with smiles after the dances.)
it has been exhilarating!
