[TANGO-L] Rejections

[Bibi Wong <bibibwong @HOTMAIL.COM>]

To Andrew Allison and list,

"we failed to connect, and she excused herself after one dance because of
"pain from a pre-existing foot injury."
"she had felt it necessary to demean us both by lying about the reason."

It was very graceful to accept your described situation.  Just curious, in
this situation, what should the lady say to avoid demeaning both parties:

- when both partners fail to connect after one dance?
- when invitee has recently danced with the invitor and know pretty sure
that if they dance a new tanda, it will not connect?

Yesterday I was approached by a persistent friend, after I declined by
saying, "The next one, ok?", I was then being questioned, "Why?" I had my
genuine reason (promised somebody else beforehand) but had I not know him as
a friend, I almost wanted to take the 5th......

Tango-L advisors, where were you when I need you? :-)

Thx
BB
