Awkward Reunion

The reunion turned out to be a good time.  Unfortunately, it was nowhere near as awkward as I had hoped.  

There were a lot of people that I recognized, but couldn't remember their names.  Avoidance seemed the best course of action, and it served me well throughout the night.

I did run into a guy I had dated briefly at the beginning of freshmen year.  He was there with his girlfriend and introduced me to her as "his first Real Girlfriend" and then described our relationship as "a learning experience".  I suppose that both of these things are absolutely true, though I question their relevance to that particular moment in time.

I decided to extricate myself from the conversation when a fellow classmate showed up to congratulate the ex on how good he was looking these days.  It seemed like an impossible situation:  if I disagreed or said nothing, it would be rude; if I agreed, I'd be making the situation unnecessarily uncomfortable for his current girlfriend.  I'm not entirely sure how just leaving played, though.

I'm having a hard time assessing the number of awkward points to attribute to that situation.
