I was out with this girl and her friends last night. While the group and I were outside, the girl I came with - the girl I was focusing my attention on - went inside to buy a drink. While inside, she was hit on by two guys. Upon seeing this, my brain kicked the shit out of my balls and I jumped out of my seat and walked inside, where I sidled myself between her and these guys. One of the guys had managed to kiss her on the cheek before I went in, and I wanted to reassert my dominance and take back the evening. While I can skip ahead of the story and say that the night went better than expected (she decided to go home with me), I can't help but feel totally shitty about the situation before that moment. The whole time these guys talked, I was speechless. I kept taking sips of my beer like a bitch, just trying to figure out how to insert myself into the conversation. I did the best I could, but at the end I was still incredibly embarrassed at my performance. Unless at a subconscious level I was duped, I don't believe it was because I was scared that I could not put together a defense to these guys. I was just completely blank. I know that things went alright in the end, but I never want to leave it up to chance like that again.

If at all possible, I want to be able to have a seddit mentor. Of course, all advice is appreciated, but I think it would be more meaningful and the advice would be much more pertinent if there were one person giving me tips, rather than having a slough of randoms tossing me chunky (albeit useful) advice.

And feel free to tell me how I fucked up. I'm really interested.
