So I have this problem.

<p>I have a few friends in gym class, but I stick with 2 people mostly (one guy, one girl; the others tend to be less engaging). I walk the halls with them because our gym class is a farce overall. They keep me from boredom, and I do likewise for them. I considered this to be equilibrium (yes, I made that reference, and yes, I am Asian). </p>

<p>They didn't really know each other that much (I was the connector), but they seemed to be pretty cool with each other. My female friend greatly appreciates guy humor, and my male friend is...well, a guy. </p>

<p>Now they're going out. </p>

<p>I helped it along because my guy friend implored me to help. I told him about her, told him where to find her alone, and basically OK'd it. </p>

<p>I may sound like a horrible person now, but I sort of regret doing this.</p>

<p>I realized that two things could occur with this coupling:
a) They hit it off great and become a real couple. You know, lovey-dovey stares, public make-out sessions, and exclusion of all other people from their bubble, etc. I become a third wheel.
b) They crash and burn and never speak to each other again. I become the axle connecting the two together, trying vainly to keep both friends at the same time while they awkwardly walk with me in the halls and refuse to look at each other unless forced.</p>

<p>I know the girl very well; I've been friends with her for all of high school. She has never had a relationship that didn't hit one or both of the options above. Both things happened with her last boyfriend, my best friend. They don't talk to each other anymore, really. They sit at the lunch table with our other friends (I sit between them) and basically ignore each other in a pseudo-friendly way. Most of the time, my best friend leaves the table and goes elsewhere after planting his books down by me.</p>

<p>The guy is a transfer from a private Catholic school, and he knows very few people. He wants to have fun. He's dated hotter girls than my friend in the past, but liked her personality (her appreciation for guy humor, basically) and decided, screw it I'm gonna ask her out. I told him about her past and he took it as a challenge.</p>

<p>I fear that this will become a fling that goes sour really fast. I don't know why I think this way--its a gut instinct, I guess.</p>

<p>I'm not quite sure what to do. I feel like I've shot myself in the foot. Regardless of what happens, gym class seems doomed to suck for me. I don't want to hang with different friends in that class unless I get absolutely sick of them. I also don't want to have to partition my time between the two if they split up. It's also my fault, sort of.</p>

<p>Yes, I know that this is CC. And yes, I know that I'm pretty pathetic asking for advice here. But we're all smart individuals.</p>

<p>What can be done?</p>

<p>Drop the class. A more academic class could be found, most likely with someone you can talk to.</p>

<p>I can't drop gym. It's a mandatory class and my schedule is set in stone (waivers were months ago).</p>

<p>Maybe you could move up to Honors Gym for the next semester to raise your GPA?</p>

<p>There is no Honors Gym. I live in New Jersey, so it's literally just Physical Education. I'm stuck in that class. With them.</p>

<p>...</p>

<p>What the heck is honors gym? That's just wrong.</p>

<p>You may just have to trust that they won't do it. It may be awkward, but generally if you guys were ok before then you're going to be ok now. </p>

<p>Just personal experience.</p>

<p>Haha, one of my friends has AP gym at her school. Another one of those abuses of the word 'AP.'</p>

<p>I don't know what you can do now that it's done, but you might have to get used to partition your time or play mediator if they start fighting, etc.</p>

<p>^^If school's just titled any ol' class 'AP', wouldn't that be copyright infringement? No class can officially be deemed AP without an official CollegeBoard AP exam to match.</p>

<p>Ummmmm.......Don't fix up anyone again? whats done cannot be undone and you must bear the consequences of your actions!! MUHAHAHAHAHA!!</p>
