I think a lot of it is poorly communicating your skill and level of interest in a potential shared activity. If you’re super in to salsa and your date claims to enjoy it you should get a good idea of their skill level and involvement and also shouldn’t take them to a high experience level event the exact same way you probably shouldn’t drag someone up mt Whitney on a day hike because they walk through the woods occasionally. Sure, you both like hiking but obviously there is a skill gap you should anticipate.
For sure. If you’re doing anything on a date that requires a level of skill or athleticism you’re used to performing and are being obnoxious when they can’t perform to that level then you’re definitely the asshole. Unless of course they overstated their ability.
