Bump.

>>17195495
Did he end up making a move on her? If not, you just may be the victim of his natural, unforced charm, so that even if he was just making friendly conversation he was better at it than you. It certainly sounds like you gave up far too quickly. If you were making progress with the girl there is no reason why another guy, however charming, would destroy that unless you conceded defeat and left the field.

I have no idea, but he was obviously interested and made no excuses about it. I left pretty rapidly after the conversation became theirs. I just thought it was a dick move, considering he already has a steady girlfriend. I wouldn't mind his approach if we were both single and trying to pick up girls.

I was drunk and probably not thinking very clearly, so yes, I gave up too quickly. My friend was much more energetic and forceful about the conversation, so I knew that it'd be very hard for me to dive back in again. I was progressing slowly with the girl to begin with.

There's two ways around this, you either forget the girl you've been working on, considering talking up girls isn't only about warming the girls up, but yourself as well, and move on to the next - or you signal to your mate to slow down his game, possibly subtly encouraging him to leave you alone. Depending on his ability to pick up on social ques, this could be challenging (especially if the other guy isn't someone you know, or know very well,) but there are certainly ways to get any guy out of their center of attention.

This is the problem and probably why I got so pissed off. He just lacks a certain kind of awareness about other people. He's a nice guy, but completely oblivious. I'd also say it's true he has a certain charm, like >>17195546 mentioned:
>you just may be the victim of his natural, unforced charm, so that even if he was just making friendly conversation he was better at it than you
But it's 90% down to his looks. Anyway, any pointers on how to avoid this situation again would be interesting. I'd also like to explain to my friend why I got pissed off, because he's bugging me about why I left him.

>>17195495
Bump again. Any advice would be appreciated.

you are 100% unreasonable and a little crazy. you went to a bar with your friend and threw a fit and left because he joined a conversation you were having. now you're all "HOW DARE HE TALK IN MY PRESENCE" as if it's surprising.

What even try when there is a Chad with you, she's gonna steal your girls anyways.

>>17195750
Because I'm almost chad-tier myself, except in personality.
>>17195748
I know I overreacted, but I was drunk. And one thing, I didn't throw a fit because he joined the conversation. I did it because he cockblocked me and acted like I wasn't there.

>>17195773

Personality is a meme, looks are everything.

>>17195780
Not if your personality is sufficiently beta.

>>17195782

If you have the looks no way you can be beta and insecure, you'll grow up with lots of confidence and have a cocky attitude.

>>17195788
I would say I have looks, but I'm tall and slim. A little on the scrawny side if I'm being honest. All things considered, I should have a lot more confidence, yet I don't.
