This girl I sit with at school has a boyfriend who i am also very close to. It really annoys me because whenever I am talking to her or anything and her boyfriend comes along he comes up to her and he is all over her. She's a bit shyer and doesnt really do anything but i just find it really gross and mostly uncomfortable that I have to stand there until they are finished. Not a cool look. Its really uncomfortable for me and I could never evr ever tell them that i feel uncomfortable, neither of them would talk to me again.
So telling them isnt really an option because I dont have anyone else to hang out with and i have no where else to go.
What should I do?
Just put up with it??

Just be like ok catch ya later, or ok i will talk to you later then! or something. If she really wants to talk she will follow you, but if her and her boyfriend are all wrapped up in eachtoher don't count on it. After a while she will probably get the message, but if not just continue doing it. remember that you guys will proabably be friends longer than they will go out.
You might also ask her to hang out on weekends or something when you know he won't be around. That way you guys can have time together without them hanging on eachother. [ pinkers's advice column | Ask pinkers A Question ]

If they don't get the hint after a couple of times, then they're way too into their relationship, and very not into including you.
I personally think that it's rude, and it's happened to me before, too.
But if I was you, I'd just be straight up and be like, 'hey, i know you guys little to get all cozy, but it makes me uncomfortable when I'm around. Maybe we can start doing things that involve <i>all</i> of us?'
You don't need to be aggressive or mean or anything, just say it in an assertive way.

If it makes you uncomfortable, you shouldn't have to stand there and deal with it. Just walk away and talk to someone else. I can understand why you wouldn't want to tell them how you feel, but I'm sure that if they are true friends they would want to know.
If they ask you why you just walked away from them, tell them, "Well I didn't want to be rude, but the way you two act sometimes makes me uncomfortable. But that's none of my business what you two want to do, so I just left."
And like I said, if they are good friends, they would understand and try to be more polite in the future.
