They briefly acknowledged me but then got back to [their<br \/>\nconversation.] So, I excuse myself and let them have their &#8216;girl<br \/>\ntalk&#8217;.<\/p>\n<p>I then got changed and left work- but as I was leaving I was<br \/>\nthinking why I didn&#8217;t turn back around and talk to her like I think<br \/>\nI wanted to.<\/p>\n<p>I was wrong somewhere- if so, where?<br \/>\n______________________<br \/>\n<strong>CARLOS XUMA&#8217;S ADVICE:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Yeah, this is a common situation with guys that rapidly spirals out<br \/>\nof control. One minute you&#8217;re in an exciting and interesting<br \/>\nconversation with a woman, the next minute she&#8217;s talking to someone<br \/>\nelse and you&#8217;re frozen out.<\/p>\n<p>The key to keeping some women&#8217;s interest is to keep the<br \/>\nconversation amped up to the level where she won&#8217;t be distracted&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Some people are just plain rude. They get all caught up in<br \/>\nthemselves and their conversation, and they fail to bring others<br \/>\nback into the conversation.<\/p>\n<p>There are a couple of techniques for dealing with this. One is to<br \/>\nsimply call them on it, like this&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>You say: &#8220;That&#8217;s rude.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>They say &#8220;What?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Cutting someone out of your conversation like      that. Just when we were having fun!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>OR:<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Hey, before you guys get going, let me tell you    about this crazy thing that happened to me &#8230;&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Deliver it with a little humorous or fun edge so  they    don&#8217;t think you&#8217;re trying to be a dick. You have to be socially aware  here    so that you don&#8217;t constantly push your way into a conversation where  they    are deliberately trying to keep you out.<\/p>\n<p>I had this come up for me at an event on  Wednesday night.    I walked over and just sat down to talk with a couple women that were  talking.    One of them was being a little bitchy and distant, playing ego games,  and    she was doing her best to push me out. The other gal was sweet and  nice, and    wasn&#8217;t pushing me out. Even though they weren&#8217;t including me, I sat  there    in their conversation, sipping my water, <strong>TOTALLY CONFIDENT<\/strong> in who I was and    that I was <em>justified<\/em> being there.<\/p>\n<p>Now this is something they weren&#8217;t used to,  because after    a while, they started to pull me back in. You see, I wasn&#8217;t nervous  or giving    off a vibe of the clueless guy. I was <strong>comfortable in    my own space<\/strong> and my own    silence. (If you want to learn this skill, read on and I&#8217;ll tell you  more    about how.)<\/p>\n<p>If the women that you&#8217;re trying to talk to get  indignant,    hey, you just successfully screened out a gal that would have  mistreated    you and given you hell down the road.
