At my school, a lot of people ask others to dance if they like that person, but accepting the dance doesn't have to mean that you like the person back. But what if they already have a girlfriend/boyfriend? Is it rude to ask, then?

well i don't think that it is wrong as long as it doesn't go any further than dancing and just make sure if it is ok with his/her partner if it's ok if your still unsure

No it is not rude. After all, it is just a dance. If that person's partner has a problem with it, then it is a trust or insecurity issue on their part. The rudeness comes into play with how you are dancing. If you are all over this person and dancing vulgar, then I will say this is disrespectful.
The person you ask will know if it will cause them a problem by accepting or not.

My school had a dance just last night. A lot of people were dancing with all of their friends, even though they were in a relationship. It is not at all rude to ask someone to dance, even if they are in a relationship.

Odds are the person asking to dance is not serious about their partner. If you are asking them to dance ask their partner if it is OK if they are around. Dancing is only dancing! If you don't like that person but want to dance and no feelings get hurt have fun!

It depends on the type dance I suppose, and how well you know them and their bf/gf? It's not a good idea to separate couples when a slow song comes on... perfect opportunity for some quality cuddle time!
Accepting the dance could just mean you like to dance!

The only "proper" way to ask a person to dance that you know is involved with someone else is to ask the person with whom they are involved.
If the other person is not there, I would question the level of "involvement". A "proper" young lady would not even be at a dance without her mate, knowing there would be unattached young men in attendance.
That probably sounds a bit "stuffy", but why would anyone commit to a relationship and then go "trolling" at a single's dance alone?
To further clarify the answer....ask permission from their date or significant other. If that person isn't there.....leave them alone.

Very rude...it's aggressive behavior. When my husband and I were dating there was a girl at the place we were that was friends with his sister. I saw her giggling and whispering with her friend and she got up all cute like and came and asked my then boyfriend to dance. She really ticked me off because I knew what she was up to before she even got up from her seat. Well she asked and he said no. That was the right answer...that was 25 years ago and he still treats me with respect today.

Would you want someone to ask your boyfriend to dance? What if he accepted, How would that make you feel?

Well if you know that they do, then yes it is rude. If you didn't know then that's the only way to find out.
