Beat a retreat from a boring party guest -- without offending them -- with one of these escape plans.

To complete this How-To 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.

Tip: 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.
