The overly general RC answer would be, "Do you." Do whatever you feel is what you feel is the best for you - after all, you have little or nothing invested in the other two people - but realize that any potential basis for the relationship, at the beginning, comes from a sudden change in status.

As we all know, sudden changes are generally bad portents for viability - think "rebound", of which this is simply a reversed version - so keep that in mind. However, who gives a shit about long-term viability at age 22?

At the least, I'd say that, generally, 'appropriate' would be to behave in a fashion that keeps your options open, and in fact increases the potential to get what you want, if not now then later. If that means flirting at the bar or being the 'fun girl' he meets out, that's absolutely perfect - it might violate some bizarre unwritten rule, but who cares? Rock it hard.

Too long Rob. Too long.
