I went out in my home town for the first time since Christmas and saw heaps of local faces. I was dancing and drinking away carefree, until I saw a face I hadn’t seen in about three years- my last hook-up. I had absolutely no idea what to do or say. But this got me thinking, what do you say to a past one-night stand?
My mind was struggling to think of something to say as I stood at the bar less than a metre away from him. I could see he was having a sneaky side glance at me confirming in his mind that yes we did go there, but neither of us bothered to enter into the awkward catch-up chat. What do you say about a 4am booty call?
In the end I asked my friend if I looked hot and she gave me the thumbs up, so I waved politely and did the “Walk Off”.
The “Walk Off” subtly tells the person you don’t want to see them. It’s all about timing to pull it off perfectly.
First, you need to have a destination, so make sure you’re either walking with someone or heading towards your friend, preferably on the dance floor.
Secondly, adjust yourself. Check your shoes in case you may slip, check your outfit to make sure you look good and check your hair to make sure it’s nice.
Finally, when you turn to walk, make sure you have his eye contact. Politely smile, turn and walk. Walk with your posture straight and tall with a slight swing of the hips. Strut your stuff, be confident and don’t look back.
If you can pull this off effortlessly then you have proven to him that you’re not interested in hooking up with him again anytime soon.
