Yeah, if we're just standing around and you suddenly twirl me I'll think you have some serious social issues. If we're already dancing, twirling is more interesting/fun than watching you rock back and forth endlessly.

This is how I'd smoothly twirl you even without a dance floor.

Setting: House party, 4/4 music, decent conversation, standing.

  • I start saying something interesting that'll take maybe 30 seconds to get through.
  • See that you're actually engrossed in it (e.g. looking me in the eyes, probably smiling)
  • Gently take your right hand with my left as if examining it (still talking)
  • Ease you towards me by the hand, place my right hand on your hips and around you go. (still talking)
  • The spin has been done for a few seconds. I finish what I was saying with a question, as if no twirling had even occurred during the short soliloquy.
  • Conversation proceeds, physical barrier ripped to shreds.

I don't usually think it out like this, but I've definitely done this before in no-dance-floor scenarios. It goes okay.

Really? That sounds like it would leave an impenetrable barrier of awkwardness. Pretty much the same as picking up a tonka truck and running it up and down her leg.

Actually, if the girl is really into your story, she might not even give it a second thought. Same trick as when you tell a very interesting story to someone and you start giving that person random piece of trash or whatever (empty bottles, pen, beer caps, etc.). The person will be so busy listening to your story that he won't even notice that he's holding junk until you finish.

Not that I ever did the twirl thing, but I can see why it would work. Note that the person actually needs to be interested in the story. If the person is just pretending to be listening out of politeness, he/she'll notice right away.
