Dude swipes girl from my arms

[Mr.Rob]

Last night I met a girl at the club and got into some flirty and challenging conversation (mostly me challenging her in a fun playful way). I then moved her about 3 feet away by picking her up and holding her closer. This went well and we continued conversation.

She was a tad tipsy.

Out of nowhere some dude comes up takes her hand and firmly drags her away from me (I'm assuming either overprotective suitor/friend getting jealous and butthurt.. or perhaps she had a boyfriend and he was looking out for him?) .

Yes I was being quite aggressive physically and perhaps should've thrown more caution since she was with a social circle group, however I was still a little tossed at what to do here.

Which is where I'd like yall's input as to how would you have handled this situation?

My original gameplan, until I met two twin sisters from Ukraine (which I decided was a better use of my time), was to chat up a girl close by as social proof and wait until the friends with the girl stopped paying attention and then quickly re-open and move her away... mostly out of the sheer fun of the competition.

Would you guys have tried to talk to the guy as he came up? Or perhaps it's one of those situations you can't really do much about...

In retrospect if I would've been less physically aggressive to the public eye I think it might've blown over better with the friend (if it didn't look like anything sexual was bound to happen).

Your thoughts?

Thanks, Rob

Haha damn dude. But yeah, I can't think of anything much better than what you had devised. Chat somebody up nearby to stay within eyeshot, and then move back in after the white knight that whisked her away got preoccupied.

It's not like you can do anything too aggressive in that situation, without looking bad and/or scaring her off. Any type of resistance from you (ie, "what the fuck bro? we're trying to have a conversation) or anything physical to push either him away or pull her back into you would probably cause some kind of scene, and nobody wants that to happen.

Best response there is probably just an eye roll directed at the white knight / suitor guy and then go about your business for the time being, until another opportunity presents itself. Can't say I would've handled it much differently.

EDIT: Not sure why that image didn't display, but whatever lol

Damn it Cock Blocked Again!

Can't say I would've handled it much differently.

Good to hear!

Rob,

I think you answered your own question here. Just be more discreet next time. The less people that see you two having a flirty interaction together, the less chance of one of those people being the potential cock-blocker!

Actually, I figured this out when it was too late to edit the post. There can't be any line breaks between the tags and your link. If I took the line breaks out, it would work :)

I think the message board application puts the ellipsis in the link if it's above a certain number of characters in length. If you mouse over the link, you can see it's well-formed, and you can click it and view the GIF.

Also, I still don't know how to size images properly. The bb code references I've found have a few different ways to do it, but I've never gotten any of them to work correctly :(
