Dealing with G/Fs past relationships

I'm a 22 yr. old guy and have been going out w/ my 22 yr old G/F for about 3 months now. Our relationship is great, I couldn't ask anymore of her, she's smart, beautiful, funny, and crazy about me. The only thing holding me back right now is her past relationships. She has dated many of the guys in her group of friends as well as one of the guys I live with half the year. It just bothers me that it seems like wherever we go there's always one of her ex's there, whether it be one of her current friends that she dated in the past or the guy that I live with half the year. Knowing that the majority of the time we hang out somewhere she has been with another guy there is driving me emotionally crazy. I think some of it may be because one she is my first real girlfriend since freshman year of high schol so I don't know how to deal with these feelings, and two I have been relatively conservative from a sexual standpoint, meaning that over the past 4 years I've only been with 5 Girls including her, and none of them are still in my life. Any advice on how I can get over or rationlize these feelings is much appreciated, it would be a real shame if something like this ruined such a good relationship.
