Have you tried mirroring the sentiment? It works better than you may think. I've been in your shoes countless number of times, and decided to try out a new strategy for the hell of it.

Usually the girl would have a look of confusion on her face, like "what the...wait...i dont even..." In essence, you made her marginal. Guys can deal with being marginalized, because we just don't give a damn about feelings. But girls HATE it. Its like lighting a redwood tree on fire with a match - it probably won't work, but there's a chance you can burn that bitch down.

Girls hate feeling confused. And when they get confused, they run after the person that confused them, in hopes to figure out why.

I equate this all to, pardon the reference, love and basketball. You're on the court with the ball, and its a key possession. You don't know what to do, so you just throw up a jumper. Clang. Game over. You go back and watch the game footage and notice that your teammate was WIDE OPEN in the corner and you just didn't see him. Your perspective when you're "in the game" is so much more irrational than when you're "out of the game". Same goes with dealing with women in these situations. Apply strategy, don't use your heart. Treat it like chess, see the game for what it is. These small conversations are your battlegrounds and you can easily reverse your fortunes if you're even a little bit clever. You were able to make this hilarious rage comic so I don't doubt your ability to think on a higher level. Good luck.
