On Accpeting Dances You Don't Want

As a Lady, I think it is stupid to accept a dance that I am reasonably certain I won't enjoy. Usually I say no to such dances when they are offered. When I override my instinct and say yes, more often than not, the results are Simply Disastrous.

If you have accepted to dance with someone I think it means you should give them as much attention as you are personally capable of for the duration of the dance. When you have exhausted your personal resources of Considerate Attentivenes you should discontinue dancing (and probably, go home).
