Step 5You're at a party...
Ok this one always happens at some point and it can be really bad so I might aswell start with worst case scenario...
You're at a party and you've either just pulled a member of the opposite sex (or same I suppose... have to be politically correct and whatnot...) or you were just chatting someone up. You turn round and there's your ex glaring at you from the end of the room. This is definitely not the time to give a wave and a wink, don't make eye contact and pretend not to see them, yes they will still be around later but whens the rage or disdain is fresh you're way more likely to cause a scene/ruin someones party. Later on when you undoubtedly bump into them on your way out of the toilet or something say 'Hi I didn't know you were coming tonight' in a happy tone, this is not anything more than catching them out a bit to help defuse your situation. Be friendly and polite and save the fight for your phone if it's going that way. Don't get all high and mighty or gloat, that's called poking the bear and it always ends up in tears or stripping (not the kind that makes people think yay)
Ok maybe you arrive at a party and see your ex the minute you come in to a room, if you're on good terms then you're fine just remember that they're around and subtlety and consideration are sensible and apparently makes you a good person. (apparently)
Right, same scenario but you're on bad terms, either fresh break up or just general hate of eachother (strong word choice I know), it could be best to leave them alone or just sort of say hello but leave it if you get that 'you're balls are mine / you bottomfeeding bitch' vibe from them. If you can manage to speak nicely then be appropriate (for lack of a better term) and don't make anybody cry / get mad, the goal isn't to 'win' anything here it's to survive with all limbs intact (yes girls for now we'll call that a limb)
