Let $mathbbX$ be a metric space with metric function $d_mathbbX(cdot,cdot):mathbbXtomathbbR_+$. Suppose $YsubseteqmathbbX$ is a dense set. Let $y_1,y_2,y_3,...subsetneq Y$ be a countable sequence. Is it true that this sequence is also dense in $mathbbX$? If not under what conditions would it be true?

In general the statement is not true. Just take with the standard metric, $X=mathbbR, Y=mathbbQ$ and the countable subset as $mathbbZ$.

In general a metric space, or any topological space, need not have a countable dense subset. For example let $Bbb X=Bbb R$ (or any other uncountable set) and let $d(a,b)=1$ whenever $a ne b$ ( "the" discrete metric). Then the only dense subset of $Bbb X$ is $Bbb X$.
