Yes! I totally agree on the dances thing.
And yes, although I think some people see it as a stiff politeness, I think that for many guys it’s just awkward. And also there might be somewhat of an influence saying that guys shouldn’t be fun and cheerful in the presence of girl, but I don’t think that’s big.
I think the largest problem, is that either they’re not taught to be gentlemen, or that if they do know that they are supposed to be a certain way, they don’t know how, because of how confusing and mixed our culture is.
Honestly, sometimes it’s hard to know how far to go in being nice when with a girl.
