    Why do you keep asking her? If someone had turned me down a couple of times in a row I would take it that they didn't like dancing with me and not waste my time asking again. (Except for Barry, as that's just fun to make bets on.)

    I cant see any point in beating yourself up over a refusal to dance as i have said so in the past i would take exception to rudeness though

    Why are you asking her so many times? No-one's that good.

    My rule is, if I get 1 refusal, I simply don't ask again, I wait for her to ask me. If she wants to dance with me, she'll ask; if she doesn't, she won't. Simple, really.

    I now limit this rule to a single night. If somebody refuses me I don't ask them again that night. Another night is a whole new game. However, I do stop asking if I'm refused a few nights in succession

    There are only a few ladies who have made it on to my "wait for them to ask me" list. I rarely see most of them nowadays. The odd thing is that one of them is a regular at my classes and is quite friendly when we're getting coffee in the kitchen

    I wouldn't bother asking *that* many times .
    Three refusals are enough for me, I know when I'm not wanted . There are plenty of people to dance with, why waste your time on someone who keeps turning you down (especially if they aren't being nice enough to give a reasonable explanation)?!
    Once is a fluke, twice is a coincidence but three times is a trend...

    Nothing odd really IMHO, just because she is happier not dancing with you, does not mean she does not want to be friendly towards you socially.

    It doesn't sound like she's getting the joke.

    Does not sound like much of a laugh if you really thought about saying...

    Also, should it be the one who was asked's turn to ask the askee for a second dance, otherwise someone would be asking twice in a row.?
