Hey guys,

I would love your suggestions on dealing with interruptions. The only decent interruption tactic is one of the Mystery ones......... when HB is interrupted by one of her girl friends and you go "be polite and introduce me to your friend?"

I game quite a bit in professional networking events where I have to be careful not to be a complete asshole to AFCs and other people that interrupt the HB I'm talking to. I hate people that just barge in with disregard to a conversation but one cannot act irritated.

Any ideas here?

thank you

I deal with this all the time when I am out with my friends or guys in my fraternity. I can't tell you how many times I have been in a 2 or 3 set and had one of my bro's come in and try to steal the show, or just want to get in on the conversation. My solution is this. Acknowledge that the person is there, like, say "Hey! This is ____." as if he was a wing, but continue to keep DHV while allowing him in the conversation. If you don't know the person, stop talking and to keep DHV, ask who they are and make friends with them so they don't feel offended by your AMOG. Eventually they will leave. If it's a friend of the girls, treat them as if they are part of the set. That just means they want in on what's going on, and you are doing your job right.
