So I was with this girl at Buddha's Belly in Itaewon, and we're eating and drinking some beer. And these two guys speaking some European language sit down near us. They immediately size me up, look at me angrily with scorn and hate. Then they look to the girl. And they don't take their eyes off her. Hehe. Anyways, I'm eating and laughing it up with this girl. Chatting away. And these guys keep looking at her. They can't stop. As we leave, I pay the bill, and I start walking away... I see this guy hand her a paper. As we get outside, she opens it up and starts laughing away.

Apparently, this guy actually gave her a note that said "Call me Smile *his phone number* and his name, "Carlos." She passed me the note, and I looked at it, saying "Maybe we should call him" and she laughs. I try to offer it back, saying they really wanna meet you, but for some reason she refuses... hehe. Apparently they kept looking & winking at her during dinner. I didn't notice the winking.. but...

Wow.

Desperate or Ballsy? What's your opinion? Laughing

I thought European dudes wouldn't have a hard time here?

Nah. Waste of life and time. Let em get the dumb chicks and start fights with other meat-heads.

Life's too short for that crap.

Sorry, man, but you were a wimp in that situation. I wouldn't have put up with a couple of assholes gawking while I'm trying to enjoy my meal with my date (in my case, my wife).

No way, no how.

I say it is neither. I say it's rude. I mean, come on, a guy sees that a girl is with someone, and he still has the indecency to give her a note with his name and number??? Loser!

Sometimes not giving a shit is the way you treat shit. But sometimes it's good to ask them what they want (confront them) or return, give them the paper and tell them "you should save this for someone you have a shot with."

Or better yet, post the number here on Dave's.

"Thanks for the laugh; Happy New Year, Carla."

You are welcome.

Bibbitybop is right-post the phone number, as it's the help this worthless piece of crap clearly needs.

Better yet, make a fake profile on one of the sleazier korean dating sites using a hot Russian model for a profile pic and post the number there.

Very Happy

That was weak on their part.

You handled it right.

Desperate,

Plenty of fish in the sea and they have to steal from other fisherman.

Desperate. Unless she was a whale of a catch.

(excuse the metaphor of women to fish, it's just my MO)

Unless it was creeping her out or scaring her, there's no reason to confront them about it. You're the one going home with her... they can gawk all they want, but it isn't getting them anywhere.

I think the OP did the right thing, he and his friend/date got the last laugh.

And I personally think it was ballsy of them in a desperate sort of way.

Exactly. I think OP handled it right since he's the one who wins in the end without doing anything.

The think that makes me cringe a little is that there are people here actively emasculating the poster for *not* going back in and getting into a bar fight... This is why English teachers aren't allowed into many of the good bars.
