<p>Okay, I'm going to keep it as short as possible. I went out with this one girl for a little bit over a year from junior to senior year in high school. I broke up with her near the end of senior year due to just falling out of love and her just letting herself go.</p>
<p>Now, fast forward months later, and I'm in college. Her best friend lives on the same floor as me, so we see each other almost everyday. What makes it worse is that we have similar schedules we are always passing by each other. </p>
<p>Sure, we'll say hi and wave to each to keep nice in the halls -- but the both of us know that the awkwardness is still here. We know that it's mainly an act that my ex-gf and her still talk about me behind my back. I really don't know what to do. I'm totally not even at ease in my own dorm. I know it's sad. We're both holding so many emotions back that we both know that the act we're putting up in the hallways is fake... </p>
<p>The tension, the awkwardness, the anxiety... it's building up. I can't go through the rest of the year like this. </p>
<p>I'm thinking of just approaching her one day and just tackling the subject head on. Be like... "I know I dated your best friend, but it's over now. I don't have any ill will towards her or even you. I hope that the awkwardness can cease from this point on. This is our life for the next four years. We're going to have to learn how to co-exist and just drop the awkwardness and tension between us."</p>
