    1) Because you were paid to.
    or
    2) Because you are ignorant of their desires in this matter.

    Thought of a third reason, mutualy agreed to social expectations. Example, the Maid of Honor and the Best Man are expected to dance with each other at a wedding. Even if they dislike dancing with each other, they go along with the ritual (i.e. dance) for the benefit of their friends, the newlyweds. "Let's not make a scene."

    well, without specifying whether there existed a previous dance, its hard to say. what is the other persons motivation to not want to dance?
    You might want to dance with someone famous, but its not likely to be reciprocal. If you want to attempt to dance with someone, its worth it. Who is to say whether our wants are controllable?

    my answer? MIXED SIGNALS!

    all i can think of is if someone at a dance is just sitting around avoiding everything. they dont want to approch someone to ask them to dance. and someone comes up to them and asks them if they want to dance even though they probably wouldnt want to dance with that person. the best example i can think of is that chick in napolean dynomite although she didnt really dance with napolean but she let him take her to the dance so she wouldnt make him feel bad :\ hopfully i made sence LOL....

    so she likes him, and he doesn't like her..
    and she wants to know why she still likes him?
    i think she needs to ask herself that question, not you.

    When you want to dance with someone, it implies that you arent dancing with them at the moment (unless we take 'want' to simply mean 'feel positive about'). So you want something to happen thats not happening.

    Well, at the same time, we can 'want' people to want to dance with us.

    So when someone wants to dance with someone, it is very likely that they simultaneously want that person to want to dance with them. In the end its all a fantasy in their head, and up to them to make it happen.

    Since dancing with someone often suggests that you are willing to do so, it seems reasonable for a man or woman to seek to dance with someone who doesnt want to dance with them, not only because they may end up dancing with the person, but because it would probably signify that the target person's mind had changed or shifted to positive regard.
