What do I do with two pig headed chess player. I have offered my opponent a stalemate and he has rejected it. I am White with a king and a rook. He is Black with a king, rook and a pawn. We have been dancing around the chess board with no sign of a solution. Please give your advice to Toda. Thank You.

You keep playing like you normally would...that is all you can do.

It's a game in progress and you haven't been dancing around for more than 2 moves. If you want to draw then do it and stop whining. If you don't know how to then spend some time practicing. Good Luck

Black is not being pig headed. You cannot offer a player stalemate. You can offer a player a draw. It is entirely up to your opponent if he accepts it or not, unless you force one within the rules of the game.
In this case, whilst I will not comment on the specifics of the position, it is you who should be grateful if you secure a draw. And if I was black, accepting your offer would not be a consideration.

I would agree that Black is not being pigheaded.
I've had a quick look at the game in question and although I don't claim to be an expert on rook and pawn endings I'd say you've yet to demonstrate a clear draw.
I could be more specific than that but I can't work out a way of saying it without potentially affected a game in progress.
Anyway, as Black is a pawn up he has no incentive to take a draw at this stage - regardless of the objective evaluation of the position.
