First, it is noted that Darcy only danced with two young ladies, the sisters of his friend, Bingley. He declined to be introduced to any other girls. He is characterized as being proud and dismissive of those around him. He offends Elizabeth during a conversation he has with Bingley. Elizabeth, sitting nearby (she has had to sit out a few dances because there weren't that many men and none of them had asked her to dance) overhears them. Bingley encourages Darcy to dance, but Darcy refuses, saying that Bingley is dancing with the most beautiful girl in the room (Jane Bennet). Bingley points out Elizabeth, telling Darcy that he should dance with her as she is Jane's sister and is also very pretty. Darcy says, "She is tolerable, but not handsome enough to tempt me" and that he doesn't want to dance with a girl that no other men want to dance with.
