Where to Go on a Saturday Night in Nashville When You Are Single and Alone

A. J. Matthews
If you like to dance, the best place to go when you are single and bored out of your mind is a Mexican cantina-American style. If you know how to follow a man, dancing the night away, with no fear of rejection then a Mexican cantina-bar-is the best place to go. Why? Women actually get to dance.

Mexican men love to dance, and they do not care if you are twenty pounds overweight or a hundred pounds overweight. They do not care if your face looks like a horse or a toad. They will ask you to dance. Many men will hit on you just to see what you will say. It is no surprise that they hit on you just for sex. If you dance with the same man for more than two dances in a row, some men believe you will leave with a total stranger just for the pleasure of a few minutes of sex. Others will respect you more when you politely say no.

Mexican men are no different from horny American men. They all want sex. It is how they go about it that is different. Mexican men have a unique sense of humor. They can laugh at themselves. As long as you do not purposely go out of your way to make them look stupid, they enjoy being around American women. They can be quite gallant, offering to pay for your liquor all night long-but only if you stay with one man.

Dancing with another man tells the Mexican that you are not serious about finding someone special. They take it seriously. As long as you make it clear that you are there-sola por bailar-only to dance-then the story becomes a chapter in their lives, and you have not made anyone lose face. You become a challenge. Men love a challenge. Once you realize that, you will enjoy yourself much more.

Some men are incredibly tiny in stature, standing almost five feet in their shoes. Tall American women prefer taller men. No one will take umbrage once you point out-politely-that you stand a full head taller than he. Stand up. Gesture wildly. Wave your hands like a lunatic. They will not be offended. They will just think you are as drunk as they are. Then, they will laugh.

You do not need to know any Spanish, at all. Most men understand no English, so both of you will realize that you do not need to communicate in a foreign language. Just nod your head for yes or shake your head for no. Most of them are too drunk to care.

But if you choose to drink, then drink Corona. Add a little fresh lime. Then watch the good times roll. Soon, you will realize you are drunk after two beers, and it will not matter that neither of you can communicate. Relax. Enjoy. Allow yourself to be wooed in the good old fashioned way men have the world over-because they love women.

But remember one important thing-you do not have to answer your phone if you slipped up and gave out your phone number to the cutie in snakeskin boots. If you do not call him, he will think you are not interested. So relax. Have fun. It's Saturday night in the summer!
