Sup seddit. I was out in Groningen yesterday and something funny happened to me, which I wanted to share. I hope you can profit from it!

I met a friend outside the bar and he took me back to his friends. He pointed their table out and I went straight for it, without knowing that he hung back to talk to someone. So I went to the table (smiling, happy to meet his friends) like it was the most normal thing in the world, took a seat and shook hands, started talking to one of the girls. 2 minutes I mentioned aforementioned friend to her and only then she realized that I came via him while I realized that he wasn't even sitting there.

That meant that up until that point I was just some random stranger but since I was oblivious about that fact (aka completely cool with it) she and everyone else on the table felt very comfortable.

TL;DR: It's all in your head.
