I love it when my husband chases the opposite sex at milongas - especially when the only one he is chasing is me.  

And we both have gotten hit on.  It's an easy thing to say no.  The guys who are really good at flirting do so in such a way that they "open the door" to the possibility by making her feel special.  (Take note, single guys). 

Piropos?  Cafe milonguero or cafe amigos?  El duende?  The tango embrace as a hug?  This list has had multiple threads on these issues.

I'm not suggesting that chasing the opposite sex is the main reason for going to a milonga.  But it's there and flavors the dance.  Without it, you might as well switch to ballet or some other performance-oriented dance.
