Also, that's the reason why I would not bring a date to a PARTY. You just cannot expect not to be bothered.
I've been to parties. Parties are fucking hard. The girls worth a second look are with guys. It's couples everywhere! -- except a random fat chick.
The best setup if you want to feel like an outsider if I've ever heard of it. So I figured the best way to handle this is simply BE one of those "cool guys", BRING A HOT GIRL and be one of those untouchable, too good couples. That's what I figured ...

On a more serious note though...
Sounds emotionally stable...
Okay

Are you tall?
No, I'm not, but somehow height came up in the conversation.

Couple of guys or couple as in one guy and one girl? Either way, great way to DLV and seem as antisocial as possible in a party.
In most cases, a guy and girl.
What would you have had me do? "Antisocial as possible at a party?" Sit by idly, not saying a word? Letting people just keep coming up and interrupting? People are watching you, and how much of a pushover you're being, that's why they come up. Had I not interjected those times, I can't imagine how many more douchey couples I would've had to deal with.

Unless the other guys are somehow pushy or acting in an unacceptable way, ALWAYS let your girl handle the situation. If she's interested in you, she's not doing anything with them. Just stay in set and don't let them push you out.
Fair enough; no, I can't really say I was being pushed out, or that anyone was particularly aggressive.

yeah, no.
I know, that's why I'm here.

Time to eject and start gaming other girls in the venue to at least get something positive out of your night. Plus, it would be pretty lulzy if you actually got laid and she had to wait until you come back in the morning to pick her up
My cold approach game is so dismal; you amplify that by trying to walk into a New Years Eve party, an inherently couples-ey event, and you're setting yourself up for failure. So I was just supposed to start walking around and trying to poach unattached girls, probably being told "goodbye" each time??!!
Another thing
Guys, you have no fucking clue how unprepared I was for this!!! I had no clue to expect that my date for NYE was going become this relentless quest to keep a stranglehold on this girl, while people are all coming up and dudes who have "a lot in common with her" are FUCKING TAKING HER AWAY TO DANCE?!!!!
Is it normal to expect this and know that you'll soon have to break off from your date and game the room??! Do you realize how fucking bizarre that sounds??!
I wonder if she kissed this guy; maybe while they were dancing...

"respectful" "understanding we were on a date" "he was a pretty cool guy" "he just wanted to dance because nightclubs are like wedding receptions in the 1950s. R-right guys?"
I'm not sure what your angle is here, but it seems more like an effort to just tear me down.
Quote:
Dude, I cannot believe you seriously would keep hanging out with that group. How innocent are you? They are probably still laughing about you when talking about that evening.
Well, all I can do is hope not, and move on. I'm still fucking fuming from that. But about the group, it was mixed crowd, with other people I'd met along the way too, so that's what kept me there.
Quote:
Great way to sabotage yourself. As I said, you should have cut your losses and been gaming other girls long ago
Sabotage??! You're the one calling me naïve for sticking around!! Now all of sudden I actually should've stayed??
See above. Who knows if I would've had a little success. But again, nothing could've prepared me for this.
Quote:
She txted me later: "you left me" and "it was just random dancing" Move on. Seriously. Move on, learn your lesson and never look back.
Fair enough, but I still don't see how I "DLV'd" myself, rather than it just being the situation.
- Using some shitty opener that doesn't work and getting blown out with the whole venue watching is a DLV.
- Sitting in the corner checking your phone for an hour, not saying a word to anyone is a DLV.
