No I Will Not Dance On You
A few weeks ago I went to a party with my friend at a local bar. While we were waiting on our drinks a guy came up to me and started talking to me, he seemed pretty nice and asked me to dance with him. I went out onto the dance floor and I began dancing at a close, but comfortable distance from him, enough that his hands were on my hips and my dress was hitting him, but not touching. As we danced he began to get more forceful with his hands and kept trying to pull me against him, the more he did this the more I pulled back. He then asked me if a person doesn't want to dance on someone if it was the guy or the song. I made a joke and said that once I started dancing people had to watch out cause they might lose an eye from my arms moving around, he didn't seem that amused by my answer. Another song passes and it was another 2 minute of him trying to pull me on him, after the song ended we both went our separate ways. When people think of consent they usually think of sex, but it comes to so much more than that. When he kept pulling me in even after my pulling away and straight up telling him I wanted space, he refused to acknowledge my boundaries which led to an uncomfortable situation.
