Cock-blocking - was justice served?

The BBQ Pit
1

I once went out on a date with Evil Girl. She immediately showed herself to be a money-grubbing bitch, and I never felt the need to call for a 2nd date. Nevertheless, she is a friend of some friends of mine, so we run into each other occassionally and get along OK.

Now, recently a new bartender has started working at a local bar, and I find her quite attractive. I’ve talked to her a few times, but no real heavy-duty flirting (in general I think it’s pretty rude to bug someone when they’re busy at work), and she seems pretty cool. So after a couple of weeks of admiring her, I was hanging out with some friends at the aforementioned bar, and Evil Girl happened to show up and join us - no big deal. Then, opportunity knocked – Cute Bartender got off work early, and decided to hang out and enjoy the band that was playing. She pulled up a chair at a table 10 feet away from ours and just sat there groovin’ by herself. Time to move in for the kill!

So, I stepped up to the table and joined her. Things were going really well, which is pretty rare (I’m no pick-up artist by any means). Then, Evil Girl struck. Half-drunk, she stepped up to me, plopped her chest right in my face, and said “buy me a shot.” She looked down and saw my wallet in my hand (the waitress was approaching, and I was going to buy a round for Cute Bartender and myself), and she reached down, snatched it, planted a kiss on my cheek, and took off back to the table with my friends.

Cute Bartender had quite the look of shock/disgust on her face, and within 10 seconds, said that she thought a coworker behind the bar needed help finding something and that she’d be right back. That was the last I got to speak to her before she left. :frowning:

So, I returned to the table of friends and started bitching at Evil Girl. She kept trying to play it off like, saying I wasn’t getting anywhere with Cute Bartender anyways. She was also being really flirty and such with me. So, I decided I needed a little revenge, and flirted back with Evil Girl. As expected, by the end of the evening she told the friends she had come with that I’d be giving her a ride back to her car. After dropping my friends off, I drove her to where her car was parked, and stopped my car.

We sat there and talked for a few minutes, until it was time for the grand finale. I moved in, and initiated a nice, slow, sexy kiss with Evil Girl (uck! :eek: ). Just as it started to get going, I pulled back, looked her straight in the eyes, and said “I really liked that bartender. Don’t ever do that to me again. And have a nice ride home.” I reached over her, pulled the door handle to unlatch her door, and turned up my radio before she could respond. She hopped out of the car in a huff and slammed the door, and that was that.

So, was justice served? Was my revenge enough of a slap in the face to make it worth making out with Evil Girl?

Hmmm. I’d say a better revenge would be fucking Evil Girl right there in the parking lot.

It certainly sounds like you could have. Don’t they say “The best revenge is living well.” :slight_smile:

3

I would have left out the kiss personally, but otherwise good job. Evil Girl sounds like a bitch.

Don’t give up with Cute Bartender – she probably thought Evil Girl was your girlfriend. Next time you see her, make a joking remark along the lines of “sorry about that girl who stole my wallet – she’s my psycho ex.” If she has any good psycho ex stories, the conversation will be rolling in no time.

Not if she was still drunk and you let her drive home.

So, run the part (where cute bartender looked disgusted) by me again. Why did she lose interest? Did Evil Girl come across as a girlfriend? Why would someone lose interest if a drunk friend came up and snatched a wallet to buy drinks? I would have been angry as the owner of the wallet as it is rude behaviour, but you didn’t do it, Evil Girl did.

You should have missed the part when Evil Girl rubs her tits to his face…
Nice slap, with a kind of style, I guess you told her that in a cool serious voice, funny story, by the way.

7

This is why God gave us the Titty Twister.

You’ve just made Evil Girl even more hot for you. Expect wild psychotic behaviour, followed by a restraining order.

Unfortunately, your only solution is to try and find a way to distance yourself from Evil Girl. Oddly enough, my best friend is in a similar situation you are. He has a difficult time meeting other girls because his ex-girlfriend is his current roomate, and even though she swears up and down its over between the two of them (she even has a boyfriend) she still cuddles up to him, kisses him, sits on his lap, etc. It really pisses him off, and makes everybody else rather uncomfortable and confused. He has told her repeatedly that her behavior is not welcomed and yet she still persists. I’ve been telling him that he needs to kick her out ASAP because she is very clingy and honestly I think the only thing she is really in love with is my friend’s salary.

10

I think it would be a good idea to hide your pet rabbits.

11

Uh, you might want to reconsider this advice before testing it CrazyMonkey. A man who mentions a psycho-ex probably has more than one, and the ladies find that a teensy-bit telling. Unless, of course, they (the ladies) are psycho. :wink:

12

I agree with presidebt. Replace the word “psycho” with the word “annoying” in my sample remark.

13

Huh?

WHat was your revenge? So what, you smooched her. You just played along with the game she was playing. You are actually made for each other.

ANd… if you are really as slick and suave as you are trying to seem, you woulda handled the issue AT THE TIME (when she rested her head on yoru chest as you were talking to another woman) Why go for revenge? Why not handle things maturely AS they happen?

14

People actually say “cock-blocking”? I thought my old roommate made it up.

Personally, I would have either left out the kiss or used a lot more profanity in telling her off.

15

D_Odds brings up a good point – NO circumstances warrent sending someone off to drive drunk. Just to clarify, she never got stumbly, slurring-speach drunk – just motor-mouthy, giggly inebriation. She finished her last drink by 12:30, and by the time we farted around outside the bar, dropped my friends off at their car, and had the exchange before dropping her off at her car, it was nearly 3:30. She was in plenty good shape to go. Those details just don’t make for an interesting story.

16

Thanks for the clarification CrazyMonkey. In that case, I’m all for revenge. Makes life interesting.

Was Cute Bartender still around when you were doing this? Because if she was, you’ll have a hard time explaining it to her. I’m pretty sure Cute Bartender wouldn’t be impressed by the fact that you were flirting with Evil Girl ‘for revenge purposes only.’ And even if Cute Bartender wasn’t there anymore, Other Bartenders were still there and may (probably will) relay the scene to Cute Bartender, especially if Cute Bartender is still interested in you. Now I’m not you don’t have a chance with Cute Bartender, but it’s going to be difficult.

Of course, considering my luck with the ladies, you may want to forget this post entirely.

jweb, I was thinking along the same lines. How about Evil Girl mentioning to CB that you kissed her. Or she could mention it to other bartenders/workers and hope it gets to CB.

It might not matter to CB that you were teaching EG a lesson.

19

OK, looks like I have some clarifications to make. My storytelling must really suck. :slight_smile:

I’m not sure exactly. Perhaps she thought Evil Girl was my gf and that I was a supreme creepo for hitting on another woman while out with my gf. Maybe she just felt I must be a jackass to be associating with such as jackass. Either way, the result is the same.

I wanted an opportunity to chat w/ Cute Bartender and get to know her. I thought I had just what I wanted right there. Evil Girl ripped that away from me with her rude behavior.

Evil Girl wanted me to be interested in her instead of Cute Bartender. Evil Girl thought she was getting what she wanted. I ripped that away from her just when she thought she had it when I told her what the real deal is.

A taste of the same flavor. Good ol’ fashioned justice.

Right, I’m trying to make myself look slick and suave. That’s why I say things like “Things were going really well, which is pretty rare (I’m no pick-up artist by any means).” If I were slick and suave, I wouldn’t be mad over a c-block – I’d have a harem to ease the pain. :wink:

Oh, and I certainly don’t have to be slick and suave to get Evil Girl’s attention. 5 extra bucks in my wallet that she thinks she might be able to get her grimy hands on is enough to get her attention.

By the time it clicked that there was an issue, I was done for. I mean, I wasn’t surprised at EG’s behavior - that’s just the way she is. Then I saw the look on CB’s face and realized “Oh yeah, normal people aren’t used to seeing such rude behavior,” and by then, she was making her exit excuse.

Yeah, although I’m not fond of the term. It implies I’m just trying to get laid, which isn’t my style. If anybody has a better term for this heinous crime, I’d appreciate it.

After retrieving my wallet and telling EG to stop interfering, I looked for my chance to restart the conversation with CB. She danced a couple dances with Local Fun-Loving Senior Citizen Guy (doesn’t every local bar have one of these?) and left. That was when I decided some vengeance was required.

I intend to give another go at chatting up CB, but in my experience, once an Aura of Drama has been associated with you, you’re done for. :frowning:

No, justice wasn’t served. You’re as disgusting and manipulative as Evil Girl. Mith is right – call her back, because you two are a good match.
