Hope, you were able to resist the chocolate cake. I wasn't!
Please allow me to correct a mistake you made: dare is never followed by a gerund. It is either a modal ( he daren't ask them) or a verb (he doesn't dare to ask them). The modal has no simple past form. So: Why didn't you dare to ask them. I' ve also heard: why didn't you dare ask them.
