Mixed set 3 girls (HB5, 6, 6) and two guys: I walked up to the group, and the girl to my left (HB5) said “Hi.” I responded in kind. I opened with a situational opener (the 6s were drinking from a Belgian glass) with: “I’m sorry but I must say, the Belgian pints show a high level of sophistication. “ The HB5 to my left got really jealous and wanted attention. She tried to shit test me by saying “How about mine” (miller light). I actively dismissed her ("My response was 'not so much, but one must start somewhere'" (the 6s found this amusing and they opened up a bit more).

There was someone that asked me “where are you from” …(one of the guys) went on about the “many places” bit. The dismissed girl got even more envious. I introduced my friend to them, and he ended up trying to manage her and got blew out (wasn't really a big deal the other 4 people didn't even notice nor care). Eventually it got to where one of the girls with the Belgian glass mentioned that she had lived in Belgian. I did a disqualification with: “usually I would find that very attractive, but I have a feeling that you and I wouldn’t work out.” The HB5 cranked it up and was challenging me why it wouldn’t work out. I responded with “She’s got an odd vibe..” and was interrupted. The HB6s were a bit taken back, and the 5 was throwing a fit by saying: “what where you trying to do entering our social circle like this… are you trying to make friends?” She tried to push me out of the group, and I replied with “woah woah.. hands off the merchandise.. usually people have to pay for that.” She moved the girls away. To avoid being “blown off” I started a new conversation with the guys from the group [that were on my right] I can’t how they were attached to the girls.

The girl wasn't really the mother hen type, but ended up acting like one at the end. The guys really didn't participate in the conversation.

Does anyone have any suggestions on this? I don't think there was much I could do about the girl to my left.
