They just act polite, and stay with him out of fear of being impolite.
She is trying to be polite so she doesn't refuse tanda request #3? That's absurd. These women are either not telling you the truth or must say yes to every guy who asks her for sex. Skip: It takes two to agree to a dance. So I interpret these 3+ tandas as being that these people really like dancing together. If I dance 3 or 4 tandas with a man at one time, it's because I find him to be very musical and I'm interested in how he interprets different musical styles (a very nice thing about the tanda system is its predictability). If during two tandas his dance is the same, then, he's pretty much played all of his cards and the game is over. For these long sets, I try to save those tandas for later in the evening so that I can end my night on a high note. So, you might want to look into Carol's advice or come earlier to the milonga. The other thing you can try is greeting the woman hello and telling her that you hope to get a dance with her later in the evening.
