DS is 28 months and we have been talking about the potty for several months now. We have read books about it, talked openly about it and he even sat a couple times on it (with no luck). The thing he likes to do most is throw toilet paper in the potty. Everyday before bathtime, I ask him if he would like to sit on his potty and the answer I get is , "no thank you, not today"! At least he is being polite. The second we get in the bathtub, he tinkles in the water. I talk to him that it would be better if he could do that in that potty. Should I not even ask him and just follow his lead? I could use some tips/advice.

RE: Am I approaching potty training the wrong way?
Sounds to me as though you are doing it fine. Certainly I would continue to encourage him to use the potty (especially in lieu of bath water :)) but no need to push further. Read some of the other posts on starting potty training - there are a ton and you will get good tips.
