Consider the metric space R\R of real numbers. The sets Q\mathbb Q of rational numbers and RQ\R\setminus\mathbb Q of irrational numbers are dence subsets in R,\R, but their intersection Q(RQ)=\mathbb Q\cap(\R\setminus\mathbb Q)=\emptyset is not dence in R.\R.

We conclude that in general case the intersection of two dense subsets of a metric space is not dense in it.
