How do you guys handle it when...?
A dancer plops down next to you, with whom you have absolutely no interest but who is keeping the other dancers away, and not very interesting to talk to?
I told her within the first few mins that I wasn't interested in a dance, and thanked her for coming over, but she didn't get the message apparently. So I chatted with her the best I could, though she had practically nothing to say and no charm to speak of. I spend part of the time staring off at the dance floor after awhile and finally asked my new couch-mate if she might introduce me to another dancer who I thought I'd like to know. She did go get her for me, but that was the only way I could get her to go and I didn't even want to meet this other dancer.
What do you guys do? I don't want to offend. She's there working and doing her best. She just wasn't my type. Any suggestions?
Thanks!
