Comments on How to Ask Someone to Dance at a Formal Ball

If your offer is not accepted, try to avoid name calling and the use of profanities. It may be tempting, but if you are too loud other ladies within earshot may hear you, and you will have cost yourself a second chance.

Just stay cool and loose. If you are a kid at a dance and you don't know the person, just say "yo" (or something) and then be like, "Ya wanna dance." If she accepts, walk to her and hold her close. Just stay loose.

To all the girls out there, don't feel as if you have to wait for a guy to ask you to dance. Whenever I dance with a guy, it's me that usually asks him. Every time the guy said yes. Even if they say no, don't freak about it; it's just a dance!

It is proper ask the husband or boyfriend, for permission to dance with their lady. If he says he doesn't mind, then it is proper to ask the woman for the dance. She may just want to dance with her husband. If she says yes, then hold you hand up slowly and take her hand. Do not hold her too close when dancing, that might make the man jealous.

Do not wait for a guy to ask you to dance, you have to ask him. Ask him to dance and more than likely he will say yes, and if he doesn't say yes, it's OK. Ask another guy to dance with you. Keep asking until someone says, yes. I know someone will eventually say, yes. And dances don't have to be romantic, they can be friendly.

No one owes you a dance. Don't get depressed if you are turned down. Look for another and have fun.

If you're shy, don't tell your friend, "Hey, go ask that cute guy to dance with me." Go over to him and, if you're too shy to ask him to dance and you don't know his name, introduce yourself and ask his name. Get to know him.
