<p>I kind of think this is a funny situation, maybe you'll agree with me. I'm not quite sure what to think of it.</p>
<p>The guy I am dating right now broke up with his last girlfriend this past summer, and she just transferred into my LAC this semester. I talked a little with her on Facebook about my LAC and offered to help with settling in. I thought that it might be nice to be friends, seeing as how she's the friend of some of my friends and I would like to start off on the right foot.</p>
<p>Yesterday was the first time I met her in person, because it turns out that she's in my Psychology class. Another one of my friends ends up being in my class, too. All three of us start talking and end up chatting about one of my boyfriend's best friends (I'll call him "Tom", because this is starting to get confusing), who recently broke up with another one of my friends (I'll call her "Sara"). Tom is currently rooming with my boyfriend. My boyfriend's ex starts talking about how much she loves Tom and how they kind of had a thing in the past. Then we start talking a little about Sara. Just then, Sara walks into the class, and it turns out that she's taking the class, too. She sits down next to me and my friend, with the ex sitting behind us.</p>
<p>My boyfriend's ex gf is now in my psych class, and I don't think she has any idea that Tom's ex gf is also in that class. The class went by pretty smoothly, except I felt kind of nervous. It's silly, but I was constantly imagining that I was being sized up with every comment or flip of the hair. She and my boyfriend had a pretty bad break up, and I'm not quite sure she's over him.</p>
<p>Any advice or comments? How can I feel more comfortable in this class? Switching classes is not an option, because it fits my schedule perfectly and I really want to take this class. Plus I think switching would be somewhat of a cowardly and drastic move. Any personal experiences?</p>
<p>To be honest, I got lost and confused about halfway through. My advice would be to stop worrying about relationship drama and just focus on the class - you know, the actual reason why you're there.</p>
<p>That was confusing. In other terms, you are spending far too much time on this for anything productive to come of it.
Is it such a small class that you can't talk to anyone else?</p>
<p>This is why I didn't go to an LAC - it's like high school all over again, only more expensive. </p>
<p>Anyway, if I were you I would be friendly with your boyfriend's ex (I don't mean necessarily be friends, just be nice) and try to introduce Sara to her as Tom's gf. That way, she'll get the hint he's off-limits, and if she tries to pull anything, don't get involved...haha.</p>
<p>@@@@ The class went by pretty smoothly, except I felt kind of nervous. It's silly, but I was constantly imagining that I was being sized up with every comment or flip of the hair.@@@@@@@</p>
<p>I think that the best move is to have sex with the ex yourself before she gets to your bf. That way both you and you bf will kind of be on equal footing and there won't be a problem. If you two are really close and feel confidant, you could even use the ex as the third "guest."</p>
<p>That is awkward. Just remember why you're in class and ignore any petty drama she gives you. If she acts stupid, it's not your fault that she thinks she's still in high school.</p>
