actually be enjoyable. I’d humbly suggest not making the experience so much about yourself. Rather, find a girl that you could see yourself having fun with going outside of a group, and adjust your mission to making it an enjoyable experience for her.
You’re right that people make them out to be more than they really are, but who’s to say you wouldn’t enjoy it until you try it. Make your focus about someone else and you’ll probably enjoy the dance more than most there.
