Quick question, I was wondering what I should do when I'm with a girl I'm hooking up with or about to hook up with and one of her guy friends I don't know stops by for small talk and I'm standing/sitting there. I've had this happen many times where I'm out eating with a girl, in the grocery store, or getting coffee and some guy she knows stops by to make small talk. I know some PUAs (like Mystery) say to blow the guy off and do your own thing, but when I do that I feel like the other guy feels like he's intimidating me and that's why I'm not looking at him. On the other hand, I don't want to act like I'm into the conversation and keep eye contact with him and make it look like I'm "staring him down" or add the "I'm faking it laugh" to make it look like I care about their conversation and I'm involved. I know I'm not the only one who's been in these situations so any tips on what I should do in this awkward situation?

I'd probably just chill for a moment, listen to the convo and see what is said and if something is said to where I feel he's trying to bust my game I'll own him. lol.
