Beat a retreat from a boring party guest – without offending them – with one of these escape plans.
You Will Need
- Credible excuses
- Flattery
- A "sacrificial lamb"
- Honesty
- An enemy (optional)
- A friend (optional)
Step 1: Feign a need
Assuming you don’t already have a full cocktail or plate of food in your hand, excuse yourself to get a drink or visit the buffet. Or, you can always say you need to use the bathroom.
Step 2: Flatter them
Tell them you’ve really enjoyed chatting with them, but you don’t want to monopolize them.
Step 3: Throw someone under the bus
Grab the next person who happens by, drag them into the conversation, and make your getaway.
Make this enjoyable for yourself by choosing someone you dislike intensely.
Step 4: Spot someone you must speak with
Use the old, “Oh, there’s so-and-so, and I haven’t seen them in ages!”
Step 5: Set up a code
If you’re at the party with a friend or your partner, use a pre-established “rescue me” signal.
Step 6: Be honest
Just be honest. Kind of. Tell the person it’s been great talking to them – now here comes the honest part – but you really want to mingle. No one can fault you for that.
Thirty-four percent of Americans are uncomfortable when introducing themselves to strangers at a party, according to one survey.
