    The man always seems pleased at being interupted and accepts the dance.

    Are these men just being polite or are they really pleased?

    Should I be more pro active or stick to my manners?

    Sorry, I don't see anything wrong with going up and politely saying excuse me to them both, then asking the man for a dance. Otherwise anyone who actually wanted to be asked to dance would have to make sure that they didn't converse with anyone at all when music was playing!

    Sometimes I've had refusals, but when I've been refused it's mostly been very polite and I haven't felt knocked back. (Although once the man said yes, and the woman he was talking to gave me a dirty look and said "no, he's dancing with ME" then they didn't dance for the next 5 tracks!)

    That's not a formal separation, that just happens through natural social interactions.

    Oh, and the fact that barbecuing is MAN WORK, and women aren't allowed to view it unless three men can attest that the woman knows, accepts and practises the 10-second rule.
