How to act around Ex??
Find a Conversation

I will see him at a party I m co-hosting with another friend of mine. She is friends with him and insisted on inviting him even after I told her I m trying to avoid him. The party is at my place but the occasion is me leaving on a month long vacation soon and her coming back from a 6 week vacation. She likes him because they train together for the Marathon but she is more my friend than his.
I did not want to upset her so I accepted and sent out the invite. There will be around 20 people so I m sure I wont have to spend much time talking to him but being the host I will have to talk to him even for just few minutes.
I m not too happy kuz I just received a confirmation email from him that he is coming and he sounded too upbeat and proud that he knows the secret places in my apartment!! which is totally inappropriate if we are trying to be friends. I hope he does not make such silly comments when I see him... I dont want him to think I m still interested but I also dont want to ignore him. How do I act formal but not bitter?

First off, Pianoguy thinks your 'party co-host' is incredibly stupid! Just because 2 people 'train together' doesn't mean they've got to socialize? Particularly when the other co-host happens to be AN EX/GF?
Having said this, my only suggestion is to be cordial towards him, but NOT CONVERSATIONAL! You've got at least 17 other people to talk with...so mingle with them. You aren't going to give ANYBODY the impression you wish to get 'reunited with the EX' as long as you don't make a big deal about him during your party.
