There's the last line of the chorus of the song that will make you millions. Get to writing!!

 

Alright, new month new problem.

I am going to a very close friend's birthday party at a bar next week.
Unfortunately, my ex-gf who I have not seen since the split will be there. I feel like I am not going to sit on my ass at home because my ex will be there. Besides, I will have many guy friends there that can creep around the bar with me if things turnout bad.

Anyway, since I haven't seen this girl for months, I'm not sure how to break the ice.
First of all, there is no chance of us getting back together. We both realize this. We are both alright with this.
However, the breakup wasn't really easy or anything, so we haven't talked at all besides a text I happy birthday text I sent her for her bday over a month ago.

I figured I would just say hi to her maybe give her a hug (if I'm giving hugs to the other girls I haven't seen in a while) and possibly offer to buy her a drink- just as a nice gesture as if to say "You completely screwed me, but I'm going to be the bigger person by being nice and not making this awkward."

Thoughts?

 

Get absolutely snicker-doodled and let it ride.

 

Everything there is fine...other than "buy her a drink."

Don't fucking buy her a drink. Buy some other chick a drink.

 

You don't need to say anything more than hi. Hug her if you want. No need to get in a conversation with her unless she has something specific to talk about.

And if you get the chance, grudge-fuck her.

 

While that would normally be my style with the guys, I don't want to get drunk and look like an ass. So I don't know about going down that road. I'd prefer she get drunk and embarrass herself.

 

Just show it to her and say, "Miss this yet?"

 

That might be the best response yet. Especially since I lost 20 pounds since we split, and she gained about 10.

I also like PO's idea, but I'm not the kind of person who buys random girls at the bar for a few reasons.
1. I'm on a journalists salary.
2. Just not my style, she knows this.

 

Every time she walks by (no matter what you're doing) stop and say, "Who the hell is eating tuna?" to no one in particular.

 

Again, Granny is awesome.
