In my case, I guess it's just old-fashioned chivalry. It's not normal for 
a lady to ask a man to dance so, when she does so, I think she must 
really want to dance but no one has asked her. I think it would be 
churlish of me to refuse.

It might be different if ladies were queuing up to invite me, just because 
I'm a big-nametango-star. But I don't think that's ever gonna happen, 
haha.
 
We all know that our time at the milongas is brief and we want to enjoy 
every minute to the max. But suppose a lady asks you to help her cross 
a busy street when you're running late for a business meeting [or a milonga]. 
What are you gonna do? Politely refuse?
