I've had this a couple of times now - at clubs and in general situations, where there's a girls who likes me, but who purposly talks to other guys in front of me in order to make me jelous.

I think that they did this in order to test how alpha, and protective I am; I think they wanted me to come over and butt into the conversation. However, if this is the case, it would be lowering my value because I am playing into her games. On the other hand, she could also be doing it to make sure I'm not too needy, and am OK with her chatting to other guys - therefore not wanting me to come over. I think that this is less likely however.

I reacted by essentially ignoring her. I'm really not sure if this was the best tactic. I'm worried that it made me seem weak because she may have thought that I didn't have the courage/power to step in.

I'm really not sure on what the correct action is - I see advantages and disadvantages with either way. Any comments would be appreciated!
