So, you are going out for the evening...I would advise you to just be yourself, have fun and relax a bit. I would be careful in how much alcohol that you consume this evening, in fact, I would limit myself because it does tend to change the atmosphere when dealing w/a MLCer.
Listen to what she has to say, show interest in what she is saying and above all else validate what she says. If the relationship topic comes up, state that you prefer not to talk about it this evening and would prefer to table that conversation for another time.
Think back to when you first started dating her...this is where you need to begin, as friends.
Good luck and have the rubber band handy on your wrist to snap it if you start to feel like you want to argue or have relationship discussions. Snap that band and it'll help put your focus on the sting and not on saying something you'll regret later.
Good luck!
Sit quietly, the answers will reveal themselves when you least expect them to. The past is gone, the present is a gift and you need to focus on today, allow the future to reveal itself when it is ready.
