Solid Game

The difference between a good and terrible wingman is pretty evident when you are dealing with a situation where it is essential to have a competent one. Duh!
I had such a situation last night. I don’t know why I often find it within me to be charitable but this time it almost cost me a good night out.

Here is the short version of what happened.

I was out with my good mate and wingman Mike “BadBoy” Lowry. We were having celebratory drinks at the headquarters.

Enter Tito. Tito was a dude id met a couple days ago. An interesting dude with interesting tales but an AFC (average frustrated chump) nonetheless.

So we are at the bar and these 3 hotties walk in. I obviously initiate chat and make introductions. We find out that they are 1 Norwegian and 2 Dutch (Holland not Boland). BadBoy is immediately keen on the Norwegian and a few minutes later, as it happens, it’s clear she’s into him.

This leaves me and Tito. I should have dismissed Tito at this point but I’m not a dick like that. I Know Tito is useless, and I think he knew it too cause the 2 Dutch girls much preferred to engage me in conversation.

As the night progressed we chatted and I got to know the girls a little better, Tito was trying very hard to be interesting, too hard. He was just doing all the wrong things and eventually the girl’s frustration with him became evident.

This dude was bringing our value down, cramping our style. I was spending way too much time managing him. I had to do something. It’s was harsh but it was for the greater good.

<Blade> Tito is a little weird ain’t he?
< Norwegian> …yes he is…I’m not sure what he’s talking about half the time
<Blade> met him a couple days ago…he’s like green tea…acquired taste. If you need rescuing just blink three times in my general direction…
< Norwegian> what? [laughs]
<Blade> ….you do know how to blink rite?

I basically subtly differentiated him from us and made them aware that his behaviour is not the norm with us.

At the end of the night we got their numbers and told them that we’ll take them out dancing over the weekend, without Tito.

The night might have ended differently though, eish
