Answera sample from a Japanese person:

Next week, I'm definitely going to go to a salsa party on Sunday evening. It's a good chance for me to let off steam. However, the good dancers are unlikely to dance with someone like me who isn't very good, although I expect some of them will ask me to dance anyway. Otherwise I will be standing alone in the corner for hours and it will be a disaster! But maybe I'm too pessimistic.
My friend and I might go out for a drink afterwards. There I'm likely to ask her advice about the boy I fancy, even though I doubt she has a good opinion of him.
