I lol'd at this one:

Comment From Interested
there are many references to Rafferty claiming to be a dance instructor - do you recall if there has there been a confirmation of this claim ? Also, thank you for the ongoing updates


Mike Knoll: @Interested - we have no confirmation one way or the other. I was thinking that it would be a silly thing to lie about as, if you're dating someone, I'd assume you'd end up dancing at some point.

It looks like on most of his dates he skipped the dancing part.
