I haven't spoken to him in two weeks. He was a guy who i was seeing for a short period of time and completely broke my heard when he said he didn't want to be my boyfriend. I'm scared to see him this weekend at our mutual friends party. What is the best way to interact without looking butthurt or desperate or sad, etc.

That's a tough situation. I'd say just try to act confident and like you're over it when you see him. Hang out with your other friends so it doesn't seem like you're just hanging around him. If you run into him, just say hey and keep it short - no need to get into a deep convo.

Act interested in other people there too so he doesn't think you're still hung up on him. Laugh and joke around with your friends a lot. If he tries to talk to you alone, stay in more public areas with other people around. don't give him too much of your attention.

Be friendly but don't flirt or act into him at all. Act like you're having a good time regardless of whether he's there or not. Don't bring him up or ask questions about him. If he asks about you, just give short simple answers and change the subject fast. The goal is to seem like you're having fun and are over what happened! Easier said than done, but you got this!

Avoid getting emotional or confrontational. Focus on yourself.
