Just know that if you wind up dating her, there is the possibility she may jump ship for another guy while dating you.
Not saying it WILL happen, but if you are able to woo her, how do you not expect some other chap to do the same?

Don't hate the playa, hate the game...

It's not a given.

Lots of times you meet someone who already is with someone ... but unhappy. They just don't have the guts to break it off. Or they aren't sure the other person likes them, so they don't break up then either.

Being a good person, they try to resist, then try to "do the right thing" by settling the first relationship before beginning another.

OP indicates this is the path they have chosen. If she breaks it off with the other guy, I say full steam ahead.

why not just date single girls? People like you always baffle me. Trying to get what you cant and shouldnt. Have a little respect for her and you and dont pursue her. If she wanted you she would have broken up with her bf already. Moreso, if you do get together, there will always be a weirdness about the way you met and I guarantee you will never be able to trust her.

Well sure, but how do you not know that she will eventually not be happy with you, string you along, then BAM! Drop you like a bad habit for the next guy that she falls in-like with ?

You make it sound like it's ok cause she is unhappy in her current relationship. But what do you do when she becomes unhappy in your relationship? What if you have no idea, most likely like the poor guy in the OP. He may think everything, although they may argue, is good. He may he ring shopping for all we know.

There is always two sides....

Yes, this could happen, but it also could happen with two people who had never been with anyone else before.

There are no guarantees.
