A few years ago, I invited a guy over and we ended up playing DDR on PS1. I had the window shades drawn because I live next to a road, have large windows, and I don't want strangers seeing me flail around like an elephant seal having a seizure.

My mother dropped by unexpectedly and I opened the door, red, panting, and sweaty, with a strange man on my couch who was trying to look casual.

Tried to blurt out that it was a misunderstanding, but she side-eyed me and left quickly.

At least she always texts me before she drops by now? I'm ace, so, for me, it's particularly mortifying.

LMAO!

I gotta increase my rep by playing DDR with pretty girls.

As a dancer and rhythm gamer, idk why I haven't done that except at the arcade on a date before.

DDR always makes me think of my daughter's friend who had absolutely no dancing skill. When they did DDR the friend would stomp her way through it like she was killing cockroaches. It was kind of cute but I always had to suppress myself.
