[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Of course I would not say something to anyone.

I'm going with "A softer #3," which is to say treat her nicely and do not say anything to anyone else in the group, but don't fake like you're super-friends with her. Be polite and cordial, but don't over-act friendly.

Like, just don't sit next to her at a group dinner. Don't go over and talk to her at a house party. Say hello to her, and keep it moving. If she comes up to a small group you're talking to, stay for a minute and then go to the restroom or go refill your drink or something. See her only in the larger group setting. If a lunch invite comes and it's just you and her and only one other person, decline.

Come on. You can't figure this out? [/quote]
This.

And the reason you do it like this is because you want to keep all your other friends, right?  The way to keep friends long term is not to be a total bitch to one person bc you don't click.  That's ok.  The other person probably knows you don't click and doesn't like you as much either!  If you start throwing grenades around, eventually the friend group will drop someone and it will be YOU.[/quote]
+1 OP this is the long game.  (And also the high road.)  [/quote]
