Just had dinner with some friends and friends of friends.

It included this one guy. Average looking, well dressed. Outwardly charismatic - all my friends immediately looked to him as the leader, as he was dominating the conversation in a charismatic manner. Girls loved him. Heck, I wanted to like the guy.

How do I deal with situations like this? He's obviously socially adept, but wants to be the only leader in the group (he'd never show true interest in any of the guys as a friend, only to get them interested in him so he could have social proof) - he positioned me so that I sat at the end of the table, away from everyone.
