Add my voice to the "suck it up and sleep" choir.
As far as competitiveness goes... I dunno, it sounds pretty natural to me. When my now-pal-and-golfing-buddy Kurt and I were dating lurkette and her sister, there was a little of that going on. Now we've each married our respective sister, and it's all good. I wouldn't worry that you do that.
Try to turn down the volume on it as much as you can, of course, because you're NOT that big competitive jerk. But don't spend much time worrying about it.
