Adventures in Awkwardland, Episode 12: Nudity Never Hurts... or does it?

This story was emailed to me by an anonymous reader. Enjoy!

During her freshman year of college, "Kate" was pursued by a boy she didn’t know. After ignoring his suit for several weeks, she was eventually coerced into going on a date with him. She was encouraged by her (male) best friend, who at the time thought this boy was cool, to accept consecutive offers from him. One night Kate allowed him to kiss her and afterwards promptly decided it wasn't meant to be.

A few weeks later Kate and her (male) best friend ended up hooking up at a party. They figured out they'd had subconscious crushes on one another for a while, and decided to date each other. Now, all this would have been fine if it hadn’t been for Kate's roommate. She’d developed a little crush on the first boy, and kept inviting him over to watch movies with “them." Kate and her now-boyfriend were hanging out on her (bunk) bed; he wasn’t naked but she wasn’t wearing a shirt (in her defense, there was no air conditioning). They were, of course, alone in the room. Kate's roommate walks in, they chat briefly (nudity is considered acceptable in their relationship), and she doesn’t notice Kate's boyfriend or, apparently, the fact that she was naked to the waist.

Suddenly, they hear a knock on the door. Being the owner of the lower bunk, Kate's roommate got off her bed and opened the door. It was the first boy and his best friend! They’d come over to visit them…and now this boy, whom Kate never meant to hurt, (and his best friend) had seen her topless in bed with her new boyfriend!!

Well, the next night Kate and her boyfriend went to another party, and lo and behold, who’s making out in front of them? That boy and Kate's roommate.

Rejections are always awkward, but in the end, it seems that things worked out for the best. The injured party in this story was able to move on, however I can imagine many more awkward moments awaiting these couples in the coming semesters.
