: : To Erinn's sentiment I would add treat the other person with respect, consideration and honesty. Don't play games. The salsa scene is small, realize that things don't always work out, don't harbor resentment. Sometimes it is really hard not to want to retaliate when you have been really hurt, are angry and you see that person every time you go dancing. Leaving that behind and focusing on having a good time for yourself has the side benefit of increasing your chances to find someone else. Oh, one other thing...get to know someone off the dance floor before you sleep with them and/or exclusively date them. There are an incredible number of players out there and some of them turn out to be mean and nasty mindf**ks too.
From my experience, I have to agree with you there are a lot of players out there! They go as far as pretending they like you to go after your friend or some of them are just plain confused and are not sure if they like you and if they do they give you mixed signals leaving you confused. If you are going to date someone from the Boston Salsa Scene my advice to you is be honest from the beginning with the person that you want to date and don't leave them confused on your intentions and feelings.
