Awkward meeting with friend (follow up question)...?

I think you should try talking to her again before the party. that type of conversation isn't meant for other people to hear. If you cant talk to her before the party, if you see her, say HEY __ and ask her to come over by you and go outside or whatever so you two are by yourselves and no one else can overhear. She'll appreciate the privacy of the conversation. If you can't get intouch with her at the beginning of the party or before you, you shouldn't go.. If you go and you ignore her, she'll think she was being used and word will get around that you're an "" and looking for .
