When going to a dance with your boyfriend, do you have to dance with him all night?

The traditional custom is for the other guy to ask your date if it's all right if he dances with you.

Otherwise, it's fine to dance with others as long as you don't abandon your date for long periods of time, or begin to flirt outrageously with someone else while with him. Oh, and - if you do dance with others - don't act jealous or angry if HE dances with others as well.....

no, you do not dance all night but, you also do not dance with anyone else but the one who took you out on the date. I mean, how would you feel if some girl asked your date to dance and he went off and danced with her, even though he came with you? You would not like that. So, I would suggest the two of you decide which song you will dance to. Say, if there is a song that everyone is getting up to dance to, then, you two can dance to it. Then, after a couple of more dances, stop and get yourself something to drink, sit down and talk. That is all. See if you two can see your other friends over there.

Have a great time at your first dance.

Obviously you've asked a controversial question! Look at the variety of answers!

You and your boyfriend should take up Scottish country dancing (classes, dances, parties for all ages). The tradition there is to dance with lots of people during the evening, but it's set dancing, so you interact with people during the dance who are not your dancing partner. Dance the first, last, and any special favorite dances with your boyfriend, others with other men (or sometimes women).

i would dance all night with my boyfriend. its like if you had a crush and he was going to be at that dance, you'd probably want to dance all night with him, right? i know i would. its the same but he's your bf. and chances are that if you are going with a date (your bf) other guys wont ask you to dance. except for maybe if they are in the same group of friends as you and your man. then there wouldnt be a problem as long as you dont dance all dirty with him. and if a strange guy asks you to dance, chances are he'd be doing it because he likes you, in which case i dont think it would be appropiate to say yes, because you already have a boyfriend and the this guy would be asking you to dance to get close to you. so there you have it, very simple. stop worrying about it and have fun at the dance with your bf, and in any case just do what common sense tells you.

You are not glued together. By all means, have fun, and dance with everyone. Just save the last dance and the first dance for him. Anything else is fair game. Hope you have fun at your first dance, one of many.

Out of respect, I think u should just dance with your boyfriend unless he say he don't mind u dancing with other people. would u care if your boyfriend dance with other girls at the dance.

Would you be comfortable dancing with others? If so, ask him beforehand how he feels about that. Would he be okay if you danced with others...and realize that if he says yes, then he should be able to dance with other girls.

If he's not comfortable with it, or you don't want him dancing with other girls, then just stick with each other and when not dancing, hit the punch bowl.

Let me put it this way... how would you like it if he pressured you to go to a monster truck rally that you hated going to, ditched you somewhere and you found him making out with some skank in a tube-top?

No, don't dance with other guys. Guys don't even enjoy dancing and he's only there for you. Why would you treat him like that?

If you are really into this guy, why would you be hoping to dance with other guys even before you go.

If it's your first dance ever, then I suspect that you're very young.

In any case, at a dance, anyone should be able to dance with anyone. I certainly don't mind if my wife dances with someone else.

She's coming home with me and that's all that matters. :-)
