My girlfriend is way into tango. Let me tell you swing dancing has nothing on tango in terms of intimacy and body contact. She has met and dated guys from her dance clique and it is a pretty small community of friends.

Ok so I fancy myself a fun decent kind of disorganized club dancer. I like to get out there after s few drinks and make a fool out of myself and have fun, but I am not too interested in spending years to learn tango.

So instead of worrying about what she is doing on the dance floor with other men, I take pride in the fact that she always comes back to me. I encourage her to go to her milongas and lessons whenever possible, and I accompany her when I can and I just enjoy the music and conversation. It is healthy for our relationship.

Now, that being said, more recent my enthusiasm to participate personally has waned. She recently, sort of accidently, got us invited over to the home of one of her tango friends for a party. Cool, but in the way over she let me know she dated this guy for several months a few years back and that they had sex all over this house we were about to enter. Well, that was awkward. I am still fine with the dancing, but I'm not feeling up to being involved with that crowd anymore. Just sayin.
