So me and my friend went out last weekend. We were both single, both dressed up, just trying to have fun. At some point during the night, I started talking to this guy. He was cute, super sweet, and we were vibing. Nothing serious, just drinks and laughs.

Then suddenly, she slides right into the conversation and starts full-on flirting with him. Like touching his arm, laughing at everything he says, getting between us. At first I thought I was imagining it, but then he literally turned his body toward her and I was basically standing there like a third wheel.

I tried brushing it off, but it kept happening. Every time I started a convo, she would jump in and redirect it. So I excused myself, went to the bathroom, and when I came back she was sitting next to him, and they were clearly deep in their own little world.

I didn’t cause a scene. I didn’t say anything. I just left. Took a ride home and called it a night.

She texted me at like 2 AM asking where I went, and I told her I wasn’t in the mood to compete with my own friend. She said I was being dramatic and that “he was just being friendly” and I “could’ve said something.”

Now she’s telling people I ditched her and made the whole night awkward for no reason. But like… am I really supposed to fight for attention from a guy I was already talking to, just because my friend decided she wanted him too?

AITA for walking away instead of turning it into drama?
