Typically, I have sat out sets rather than dance with an objectionable person, but then again, I've never been continuously pursued more than a couple of times. Either my would-be admirer got the hint or I'm not worth pursuing but either way, the situation was saved.
The person who posed the original question to me may have a lower threshold for toxicity, or may actually be a pursued by a true stalker. At his particular dance level (intro), his opportunities to dance are somewhat limited so sitting out more than two or three sets means losing the whole night. Recruitment is tough enough: I'd rather not lose a new person so quickly.
