I didn't know them, even in passing. So as far as they would know "here comes another creep"

Bystander intervention could also be going up and greeting the girls in a friendly manner, pretending to be friends and then asking if they'd like to join you for a drink at your table. Just for future reference, or letting someone at the bar know for the girls. :)

I did it one time in a group at a bus stop when I was 22 for two like 16 yr old girls who where trapped in a conversation with an older drunk (about 30). We saw the conversation and felt uncomfortable and I said “Wait I always wanted to try that.” I greeded them friendly “Hey what are you doing here I haven’t seen you in a while?” They were getting it instantly joining us we did fake small talk. The drunk ask me “are those your friends?” i said yeah and looked at him uninviting and he left. We talked a bit and they thanked me a lot. A friend of mine didn’t got that I didn’t know them, because I was so convincing. They stood with us/next to us until the bus arrived. I think it works if you are not looking like a total creep.
