I hope I won't be misunderstood, but I wouldn't be so sure to call the poster a "she". There is nothing in the post that guarantees that the poster is female. Is there?

True. I learnt this in my second week in SF. At my first salsa lesson, we split in two lines, between "leaders" and "followers", to match up, and I see this guy in front of me. Me: You are in the wrong line Him: No, I am not. I hope it is ok with you

umm...... ok, sure.... it was kinda awkward,

This is getting off-topic, but...

A couple years ago my girlfriend and I took swing dancing lessons. Although I normally led, for one of the exercises everyone switched roles; I learnt to follow, and she learnt to lead. That was probably the single most helpful exercise of that class.

You're right. I just assumed that if it wasn't a girl, I would be corrected. But you're right, I should err on the side of caution.
