<p>Who said you have to stand in a corner or not go? Girls can still dance without grinding on dudes and still have fun–I’ve seen it done plenty of times.</p>
<p>"Would those people who consider it cheating prefer that their significant other just stand around in a corner at parties when they’re not around? Or just not go out at all? "</p>
<p>You can dance without dancing with men. And I know this will come as shocking to some, but you can also dance with men without grinding!!!</p>
<p>I actually got into a big fight with my ex about this one time. He wanted to go to a school dance that I couldn’t attend so I just told him to go ahead and have fun. After the dance there were tagged pictures of him all over Facebook grinding with these girls. I wouldn’t say it was cheating but it was completely disrespectful. You CAN dance without grinding. If you don’t know how, take a lesson.</p>
<p>not really cheating but if it’s that grinding ass-to-crotch then he better be really drunk</p>

<p>My thoughts exactly. I couldn’t care less what a female whom I’m not involved with does with her body–assuming there are no direct consequences inflicted upon me–but I don’t really see the point of a chick dancing with a dude like that if she’s in a relationship. Some may equate it to harmless fun, but why bother even having such close contact with another male when you can probably enjoy yourself just as much if you’re not shaking your ass all over some other dude’s crotch?</p>
<p>If you are in an officially monogamous relationship, dancing with someone else is toeing the line a bit.</p>
<p>It depends on the context and the intent.</p>
<p>If you are dancing platonically or with a platonic friend (if that’s possible lol) - then its fine. Dance classes are fine, too.</p>
<p>Grinding on someone — no - its wrong. Grinding on someone who has the intent of sleeping with you/ or grinding to get yourself aroused — hell no! Not cheating per se but maybe “trying to cheat” or having improper intentions. Bottom line, I’d be ****ed and might break it off, especially if its a trend.</p>
<p>I tend to agree with the people who are saying it isn’t cheating per se but very disrespectful. Being in a relationship entails some level of sacrifice. When you decide to exclusively go out with someone, you no longer have the luxury of doing things like drunkenly grinding on some random cute stranger (obviously completely acceptable for single people) if only because you now have to consider the feelings of your gf/bf. I don’t get it, if a couple hours of grinding is just too fun to regard these things, then why not just be single?</p>
<p>I agree. It isn’t technically cheating, but it certainly doesn’t say that you have much respect for your girlfriend and/or your relationship. Whether or not you intend it, dancing like that is pretty sexual in nature, even if it’s for fun. If I was in a committed relationship, I sure as hell wouldn’t want to see my boyfriend grinding up on other girls.</p>
<p>I think I’d be okay with it as long as I didn’t have to see it and it was nothing more than just “dancing”/grinding for fun (no groping or hooking up or anything). I mean if the two people in the relationship were at the same party why would they be dancing with other people anyway? If however, a girl/guy is out with her/his friends while their significant other is studying for a test, I think it would be acceptable to dance with other people without further intentions. </p>
<p>I think the difference though is that guys usually approach girls to dance with with the intention of hooking up, whereas many girls would dance with guys with no intention of hooking up. I had this conversation with my bf once and it ended up that we had different views, mostly because guys perceive it as a clear indicator of the intention to hook up while girls often see it as just having fun.</p>

<p>You would be fine if your boyfriend was grinding with another girl, as long as you didn’t see it?</p>
<p>Open relationships are fun.</p>

I’d be fine with him dancing with another girl if he was at a frat party with his friends as long as there was no other advances made, and if the girl tried to make further advances (rare) he would walk away. I trust that he wouldn’t do anything more and that he is just dancing for fun because he is at a party.<br>
I personally just wouldn’t want to witness it occurring, especially since if I was at the same party than why the hell would he be dancing with another girl.</p>
<p>Perhaps I feel this way because we started out hooking up, then in an open relationship, which was basically being in a very close relationship where we were both still accepted that each other might have drunken dancefloor hookups, as long as it was nothing more than that. Eventually we decided to make our relationship official, but I’m still used to the openness of it. (this was all the result of both of us trying to avoid a committed relationship first semester freshman year…)</p>
<p>I’m not saying it’s right or wrong, it just depends on individual preference and that both people agree to the same standard.</p>
<p>i don’t really do this kind of stuff, but @ da club, do people who aren’t sexually interested in each other grind on the dance floor? i’d think it would be pretty awkward to do it with someone you aren’t interested in, but im a pretty awkward person.</p>
<p>Personally, I don’t dance so yeah. </p>
<p>However, my view is that if your gf or bf is with you then dance with them. If you want to dance with other people then at least don’t grind… </p>
<p>Thats me personally…</p>
