I went to speak to a girl I liked who was about to leave.
Usually it's not the best scenario, but sometimes you realize too late.
It was good.
When we went to exchange contacts, I had her friend hold my drink to type my name. I wasn't too sure about that move, but kneeling down to put the drink on the floor seemed too much. I realized soon it was gonna weigh heavily though: the friend's face went into a micro-expression of disgust and resentment (I wasn't even drunk or anything). At that moment I thought "fuck, she's gonna talk so much trash behind my back as soon as they're alone".
After that I was warmer to her friend and trying to win her back but she kept being stand-offish. And of course, the more you are warm to someone who's cold towards you, the less good you look, so I relented soon and bid them farewell.
Now, my girl might have not replied me anyway, of course. But it was interesting though. Some years ago I would have probably barely noticed it, now it was a glaring (small-er) mistake which I realized right away and even tried to (unsuccessfully) correct.a
What I think was the problem is she felt insulted that her friend was the one being chosen, while she was relegated to the dirty tasks.
