    I'd never thought of checking that . . .

    That's one I forgot - inside turns are great for a quick whiff of perfume. More helpful for inspiring the second dance though.

    When I'm complimented on my aftershave before a dance I often assume I've probably put too much on. Comfort myself with the thought that it's better than sweat-pongy I suppose, and good for my confidence if I get grabbed for no other reason than being handy and no other guy being available (checks stash lol)

    Re: 'fess up guys - How do you decide who to ask for a dance?

    Anyone heard of the "three and out" rule? If a lady refuses me three times out of, say five I never ask her again.
    (I can take a hint..)
    If the music is fast I stick to the best women with whom I've danced before.
    (safety first rule)
    If I see a sad woman I will ask her to dance (the patronising rule?);
    If I see a good dancer I ask her to dance
    and if I see a friend I also ask her to dance.
    I try to avoid dancing with snobs (a fastgrowing population) and women
    who dont dance in time.
    I try to dance with fellow competitors at comps (do they feel as good as they look?)
    I try to dance with all ages.
    If I get a lovely smile I go back again; if not, then no.
    Above all I choose people who like dancing with me.

    Usualy I seem to get grabbed while I'm dithering over who I'm brave enough to go and ask.

    Re: 'fess up guys - How do you decide who to ask for a dance?

    I dont actually think about it that much. However this is the basis of it.Bearing in mind i spend most of the night dancing.
    Firstly i ask beginners or people that are new to the cub but not beginners. This because most beginners at my club tend to leave halfway through the evening in an effort to avoid the intermediate class.
    After this i will ask regulars that i know are good.
    It also depends on the record and what i want out of the dance.
    If it is a track i love i usually want someone that is good so i can get the most enjoyment out of it. I use songs that are just okay to help beginners ad practice the class from this or the wk before.
    I use crap songs to work out who has improved or is just generally good.

    Having given it careful consideration, when dancing away from home, it usually comes down to the most obvious pair of boobs....

    OK, maybe not, but I can dream...

    You're more forgiving than me. I only ever ask twice. And once I've been turned down twice in a row, then I don't ask again - though, if she comes and asks me, then that sets the 'counter' back to zero.

    This applies both to people that I've never danced with, and also people that I have danced with. Unless there's a reason why she's saying 'no'.

    You're more forgiving than me. If they turn me down flat I never ask again. After all, you've asked "would you like to dance with me?" And you've been told "no". Seems quite clear to me.

    It's different if I keep getting an reason/excuse; tired, resting, taking a break, going to the loo, etc. But, even then, after 2 or 3 replies like this I get the message and stop asking

    But, as the Tramp says, if they ask me it re-sets the counter

    I, too, ask "Would you like {to try} a dance?" I do not want "favour" dances. To me "No, thank you" is a quite acceptable reply. The evening is about people enjoying themselves.

    Re: 'fess up guys - How do you decide who to ask for a dance?

    I always look for the ladies that play with the music that have more than just lead and follow...
    Ladies that flow to the music, not just good ceroc dancers but those that really feel the music, some i have found have only dancing for two or three mounths but have great awareness of there body and the shapes that they can form.
    These ladies stick out on the dance floor to me and i always try to make a bee -line and have never been disapointed...
