All right, so I'm 18 and going to college in three weeks and I know I don't have everything figured out but I'm having some relationship issues. For two months, I've been out of my relationship with my ex girlfriend Hana. I had been hurt too many times and college was coming and I wasn't into her as much as I used to be so I ended things. She was disappointed but agreed. Unfortunately, we're going to the same college next year but I wish we weren't hah. Especially since I just recently rekindled interest with a girl I had a "thing" with freshman year until I found out she had a boyfriend. She took me to a dance freshman year when she had a boyfriend only because I was within her friend group and it was more comfortable for her not to have to worry about her boyfriend having a good time not knowing anyone from her school or mine. I went to an all guys school and she went to an all girls school. We had a group of friends that hung together because of a couple that were dating and tied us together. This girl, MB, was into me and I was into her but I was crushed when she told me she had a boyfriend. Anyway, the couple that held the group together broke up and we all didn't hang out anymore. That was three years ago, until just recently. We had a grad party at a lake and we hung out together the entire trip. We flirted pretty seriously but nothing too serious happened, just suggestive and we both knew it was there just like freshman year. However, I found she was still dating the same boyfriend. It's been 5 years!! She went on to tell me though of how he's a douche to her and they don't get along. We've been talking every day since the lake and occasionally we have a serious talk about what were doing and what I want. I don't want to tell her I'm extremely into her but at the same time, I don't want to be just friends but that's the only option I have now I guess. MB and I are also going to the same college next year so the capability to start a relationship is very possible, especially since her boyfriend isn't going to the same college. Just yesterday, she said they aren't officially together anymore but they'll always be a thing?? What does that mean? Idk. But I was crushed the other night when at a concert, she was dancing with a "good grade school" friend who she ended up kissing and it wasn't her boyfriend... I didn't know how to react but when I aske about it later, I tried my best to act not affected by it. We talk about being good friends in college and hanging out all the time, but I'm not sure where to go from here. She's a great girl to be around and pretty good looking. My ex girlfriend is way out of the picture now though considering she's been hooking up with my good friend now for the past few weeks. Some friend he and she are... Advice how to go from here? Thanks

Enjoy going to college. You need to experience making new friends, and move on. Stop worrying about your ex. And MB doesn't seem like the trustworthy type. She cheats on her boyfriend. You can do better!
