Taking ballroom dance lessons was something she wanted to do with me in the past. I think one reason why I initially hesitated telling her was because I didn't want her to think this was something I'm doing as a "tactic" to get her back. Another reason was the advise of my DB coach who said that I don't always need to tell her where I'm going or what I'm doing. Be a little mysterious.
I started doing it because I thought of a GAL activity I could do that would be completely out of character for me. I came across an advertisement for a beginner lesson special, and I went for it. I ended up having a great time and it's a wonderful way to take my mind off things.
I suppose at this point, I could simply be honest with her and just let the chips fall where they may. Perhaps she'll value the honesty (and transparency) enough that it's worth any suspicion of my motives. And besides, any such suspicion is speculation on my part, and yes, mind-reading.
One of my friends who is close to the situation even suggested that I reveal it to her and at the same time, ask if she wants to go with me. Make it a casual suggestion.
