I was out and thought this deserved its own post.

One girl and i are actually really connecting. having a great conversation, shes sitting on my lap, flirting quite a bit.

a guy i know comes up to me, and starts yelling at me and this girl. hes like, "he has a girlfriend"

she already knew that because i told her so she says i know.

after that, he yells at me for always having new girls with me, and always being surrounded by beautiful women. he yelled at me about this and just put off a really jealous vibe. yelled at me for getting punched in the face at a party i organized.

what did i do? i didnt react, kept a straight face and didnt fall into his trap by trying to argue with him. so, i said to the girl-maybe you should talk to him. then i said to him-sorry you feel that way, but i dont even know the guy who punched you in the face.

then i walked away.

later, i saw her again and isolated. she sat right again on my lap and told her all the things he said about me were probably true and that she should be more careful. (i figured he trash talked me and i didnt know what he really said so i reopened her in a joking type way) the guy dhv'd me big time without even him knowing it (more on that later). i didnt ask her what he told her, and just continued in set like it never happened. got a kiss close, texting each other quite a bit since then.

i got a message from the guy on facebook the next day apologizing, and he told me what he told her-"reseddit is always surrounded by beautiful women, he organizes parties, he kicked out the guy that punched me in the face but i still think he was friends with him"

guy made her even more attracted to me.

what else did i learn?

dont fall into the traps of manipulative, whiney beta males. be non reactive, you will come out ahead
