Conversations at a Milonga (II): How *not* to ask for a dance
As the Tanguera finally ventures into the Wilderness of the Milongas after being in Tango-Limbo for more than two weeks, she overhears a serious Creepy-Beggar specimen in action, trying to persuade two different Tangueras to dance with him...
Conversation (1)
He: Hi, can I ask you a question?
She: Ssssure...
He: You know, every time I look at you I notice that you deviate your sight far away from me...
She: Uh! Oh! Really?
He: Yes. I know that in Tango-Etiquette that usually means that you don't want to dance with me.
She: That's true...
He: But, in your case, does that *really* mean you don't want to dance with me?
She: %}
Conversation (2)
He: Hi, how have you been? Can I sit next to you?
She: Ehw. Sure, the chair is empty.
He: Do you realize that we haven't danced for about a year now?
She: Rrrrrrreeeeally???
He: Should we give it a try tonight?
She: Ehem. I'm too tired...
He: OK. Next year, then...

They say the opposites attract, that may be true for those who care and project animal magnetism...!
Personally I also prefer the human similarities and rather wait a little longer.
Let us leave "the magnets" for those who sport themselves as "cool" as ice - I can just see fridge doors opening , welcoming and volunteering themselves all around us!
