I am seriously looking for a guy to go dancing with... however I JUST want to dance... and nothing more. I meet guys at clubs and etc. well it turns out they just want to you know be F-buddies. However, do you know anybody that would be interested?

Well I've tried the whole dance class stuff... well 99%... are there for the same reason why guys go to clubs or are with somebody. It doesn't help that i'm not that bad at it... I really like to dance.. its to bad its salsa.. because you kind of need a partner.

Many answer here, some of them very good, as a matter of fact. But if you really want to find a dance partner, night clubs are not the best places.
Find yourself a ballroom place with salsa sessions. At ballrooms, people go to dance, not to drink and hit on each others like happen on night clubs.
Being attractive is not a bad thing if you have the personality to handle it. If you don’t then it will be better for you to quit dancing.
Dancing is a way to communicate with other humans using body language. Dancing give you attitude and style. You can be sexy, or elegant, or fun, or sharp, or technical, or a combination of those and more; depending of with whom, where and why you are dancing.
If you ever find a good dancing partner that you also feel attracted to, you may discover than being attractive and a good dancer is actually a very good thing.
In the last 10 years I haven’t go out with any girl that couldn’t dance. Some were good friends and good looking women, and we never had any misunderstandings. Salsa dancing is a passionate style; but we never felt uncomfortable or confuse, since we never fail to communicate respect.
We made each other to look good at the dance floor and that made easier for us to socialize with other people, including potential partners; while having a grate time. It was a sincere and great partnership, only broken when some of us got finally involved on a relationship; but we were always happy for each other.
If you really like to dance don’t give up on looking for good dancing partners, and don’t give up on getting better your self as a dancer. Never date people that can’t dance, at least that you fall in love by accident. But if you want to make of love and everything that comes with it a permanent delightful thing, find true love at the dance floor.
You will be pleased forever.

yes it's possible but it'll be rare and you already know that answer. I'm a male and i hung out with a group of females and i love the friendship, until some of them started to fall for me. I knew the minute i have sex- the friendship would die, when i did't respond the way they need me to . Not that i don't want sex, I don't like to do it with my party friends...if you know what i'am talking about. Also when you go to a club and meet someone, that person may get jealous or feel he or she is being used. Make sure that you and him agree before hand, about the partnership rules. This may sound like a contract.... but it is. communitcation is the rules. I also like to learn to dance salsa. A couple of years ago i took some classes where Jennifer lopez practice but two days later i had an accident and cut my foot, that was the end of that. if i lived in your area, it would be my pleasured to take you dancing all night long, until we learn and not trip over each otlher feet. good luck on your search.

Go to www.dancescape.com or www.ballroomdancers.com and look through the partner search ads. You aren't going to meet anybody worth your time in a bar or a club. Serious dancers are interested in DANCING, and you will find serious dancers on these websites. You can also go to a dance studio and sign up for either group or private lessons and meet other dancers that way. If you really want to dance you have to go to where the dancers are.

You aren't looking in the right places. If you meet guys at clubs or bars then they probably aren't there to find a dance partner. If you want to find a dance partner, why not go to some dance socials? If you really want to find a guy who won't be interested in you, try a gay club.

It is possible, but it may be difficult. I think it will all depend on the dicipline of the people involved. If you are single people, then no. It is not possible. . . If you think you will be close friends, ready to cry on eachothers shoulders when you break up with the last person without it developing into something then no chance.If you are casual friends that get together every once in a while to have some drinks and catch up but are both in serious relationships, it could work.

Do you have any married friends? I know a couple of friends whose wives don't like dancing and the husband does (I know it's usually the other way around, but I swear it's true!) You could partner up with someone already married and then you'd know for sure that they weren't interested in you, just the dancing.

I can only speak for myself. Hot chick who is friendly and nice to me = love. Crushing, desperate, can't sleep at night thinking, love. I think you might be able to pull it off if you find the right guy, maybe a homosexual, (actually most guys that want to salsa are probably gay)(kidding) or maybe you could pretend you have AIDS. If you don't want to try some stunt like that I suggest that you make it perfectly clear that you don't want what you don't want by being very blunt and direct and repeating yourself very frequently like every time you greet each other and every time you say goodbye. yes. that often. One word or gesture can get a hopeful guy to thinking that your mind may have changed to what he wants. And a guy will be thinking he can get you to change your mind if he plays his cards right.

I think this one will be trial and error. You will have to keep trying for a dance partner who is in it for the dancing. Just as long as you keep letting them know that what you're there for. It might take awhile but you'll find a partner.

Most of the time..NO. My daughter has always has had guys as best friends..and they always fell in love with her. That was the end of the relationship...cause she just wanted a friend..not a boyfriend. She knew the special guy for her would be "special" not just a friend.
