BUT, on the otherhand, I have come across many great girls who I would have loved to be with. The only problem is that they had a bf already. As much as I would have loved to date them, I just couldn't try to get them to leave their bf because I know how it feels to be the bf.

Have you ever been in any of those situations?
Awww, that's terrible. If you're in a relationship it must be based on love. So to say you have found someone better...would mean you're in love with someone else. If you're in love with someone else, then you're not in love with your current partner. Therefore, it's already a superficial 'relationship', so cease the cheese.

'have you ever been in any of those situations?'
No, to be in love you're saying you have found the 'best' in your eyes. Hence, 'better' is worthless to you cause you have the best.

I'm afraid there is one man I'd even leave Bono (yes, of U2) for. Hey. All's fair in love and war.

No, never. I find the idea of that really disturbing.

When I was in HS I was at a skating party and my "buddy" didn't know how to skate. He had a smokin hot GF and asked me if I'd skate with her and make sure no one messed with her. By the end of the night she was in the back seat of my car going at it with me. She dumped him the next day and we "went together" for a few months after that until another girl came along. When your young that's just how it goes!

Seriously, I don't know how old you are but when you're real young and unmarried, that's just the name of the game. You're not really committed when dating--unless you're engaged. But even then, until you've taken vows, all's fair.....

I dated a guy in high school and I thought we were doing "ok." We were still in the early stages but the relationship seemed to have promise...Then I found out that my (so-called) best friend's neighbor had been dating "my guy" behind my back. I was the last one to find out about it!...I went through a lot of "stuff" when I was younger. Had some "hard knocks!" i had to develop a "tougher skin!"

it's okay when you're dating, not okay once you've committed to a relationship unless there is a real reason to break it off based on some incompatibility in the relationship itself...if people could just walk away like that when something better came along then commitments would really mean absolutely nothing!

Or they can just quit. that should always be an option.

trouble with an open market, open dating, employment at will and so forth
is either party can walk. usually the idea is to make it easy for only one.

Another question is this: Have you ever had someone try to do it to their bf/gf just to be with you? Now that's awkward.
