1st conversation-

LSE: "What? Why do you care?"
EII: "They won't follow you unless you give them a reason"
LSE: "I'm trying to take them to pocha (Korean drink/food place)"
EII: "Then, say that instead"
LSE: "Oh"

Few months later-

Predictably, he noticed my attraction to another player (SLI) and cornered me. I didn't want him to getting involved, so I bluffed.

EII: "What if you are the one that I like?"
LSE: "What? You like me? Since when?"
EII: "So then?"
LSE: "Well, you are objectively attractive- everyone knows that
... but..." (for the record, I am average at best)
EII: "I'm not your type because I'm not Asian, right?"
LSE: "Well, yes"
EII: have no reason to be upset, but feels like a bee sting to the face
This demonstrates well how to stand up to an LSE
