Hit Alicent with the puppy dog eyes can she really say no to us, cmon alicent you know you want to

No intention to vote for this, but if you absolutely want to dance with Alicent, this I think has the highest odds of working.
[] Plan There Has To Be A Chance
-[] "Perhaps one duty can replace another. Become my Handmaiden and you won't be expected to marry for a decade more, mayhaps even longer."
-[] [Defiant] Dance with a Girl: Lady Jeyne Arryn
-[] [Defiant] Dance with a Girl: Alicent Hightower
-[] Just try to relax and enjoy yourself.
Reasoning is simple. We first dance with Jeyne to normalize the idea of us dancing with women a bit and to get Alicent a bit jealous. Then talk with her and argue that us dancing with our handmaiden is just fine and proper, just as we just danced with our cousin.
Then relax away the stress caused by either her refusing or her accepting.
And since multiple people remarked that they would rather relax, I'm proposing two version of my actual plan:

If someone makes a compelling argument, I might switch the lad.
Viserys should have a good time too, and a break to dance with his daughter is probably as close as he'll come.
Rhea Royce also deserves a good time, and it will annoy Daimond, which is always a plus.
And now to roll a random lad.

We could say that we could just meet them on a cross continent tour about literally anyone in Westeros though. As is it kind of gives away the point, opportunities to meet with Borros are going to usually require special events or visits, which is an issue when we're talking about someone that gets slighted for not being paid attention to. We could just as well say that we'd just meet up with Jeyne on the cross continent tour.

That's a ways away, better to meet him now and get to know him so we can have an early idea about how to approach him. Not to mention making friends with him here complements visiting him on the tour.
Approval voted.
Though I don't think there is much to worry about if we dance with more than one person. Dancing is not all about dating and marriage either. It's also about prestige and offering the prestige of dancing with the Crown Princess to others. Us asking Borros to dance is basically us saying "we recognize the Baratheons as important members of the nobility." Adding in the fact that we are second cousins that adds into the aspect. Then we dance with Elmo as well, and people analyzing who we dance with won't immediately think that a marraige with the Baratheons is forthcoming. It's just the Princess dancing with the heirs to the Lord Paramounts.
Which of course is it's own kind of message: "We are the heir."
That's not bad idea. I'll add a plan were I switch out Elmo for Viserys.
Never mind, father does not want to dance

The main objective of dancing with Jeyne is the dancing part though, not talking politics. We can talk politics whenever, but this is a unique opportunity to break a bit with courtly protocol and stiffness, especially as the evening drags on and the wine caskets get emptier.
We can make *actual friends* here instead of just holding audience.

We could just make friends with her when we visit the Vale during the tour though. If nothing else we could do her a solid of taking Syrax to fight the mountain clans for some time, something she'd probably appreciate more then just a dance to boot.

The fact that you bring up doing her a solid by fighting for her is making it painfully obvious that you don't get the point.
Visiting people as part of a royal tour is the heiress of the realm touring her future realm to pay homage to her principal banner-men and hearing their woes and problems. Preferably she even fixes some of them.
Taking a few cups together to complain about your shitty husband / uncle or dancing with a cousin that you can relate to on a deep level is a wholly different thing and we can't do that in the social setting of a royal tour. We can do it here on the wedding though. So, I want to use this rare opportunity to the fullest.

Dude there's no royal tour police that would say that we couldn't drink with someone while visiting their place. This is a royal wedding with a multitude of eyes on us of lords and ladies from across the realm. If anything our actions right now are going to be under more scrutiny then they would during a tour. You yourself even said that we could go out drinking with people and having fun during the tour:

Did a double take at this, but it is at least "pay homage" rather than "do homage," which would be bass-ackwards
We need to meet Alicent where she's at- Valyrian gender egalitarianism is often overstated in the fandom, but elements are there in comparison with Andals. Asking her to be our handmaiden comports with Westerosi customs while also availing us more time together.
And we need allies down the road- historically the Vale supported us but didn't actively exert itself in our favor IIRC. Having the paramount house *and* their biggest vassal actively on our side would be a boon.
Also we should burn off stress before we explode again on the Jedi Co- wait, wrong quest 😛

I can say "give face to them" if you don't like the formulation.Did a double take at this, but it is at least "pay homage" rather than "do homage," which would be bass-ackwards
The eyes are not on us. They are on the king and new queen. We are just a guest here and our only importance is our rank and relation to the married. This is fundamentally different to a royal tour where we act as representatives of the crown in everything we do. We are way less under scrutiny right now than when we set out to do stateswomen things and every word and act of us is under direct scrutiny.
