Carol raises an interesting point about not wanting to dance milonga with someone but wanting to dance tango. I also find that there are some partners with whom I would prefer to dance with only to specific music, be the distinction tango/vals/milonga or D'Arienzo/Di Sarli/Pugliese. I think this underscores the desirability of playing music in tandas.
I agree with Ron that a lot of the problems would be eliminated through the use of the cabeceo. I am completely baffled by people finding the cabeceo difficult to use outside Buenos Aires. I have used it with great regularity in many different cities. In addition, my coworkers and I frequently use a variation of it to get a group together for lunch.
