Why is it that when women know a guy is taken they insist on calling him and not caring if he has a girl or not?

Why is it that guys that are in this situation actually tend to respond to the other person as well?

because the grass is always greener when you're not mowing it.

when i'm single, no ones calling, no ones responding to texts, no one seems to have time to go out.

but when i'm with someone, my phone is blowing up constantly with people wanting to party!

btw you're allowed to have friends when you're with someone, just not friends trying to get in your pants.

That depends on the relationship. Some relationships are open.

I don't think the OP believes these women are just looking for friendship....

i was in an open relationship, and my partner would go and do funny things to his friends nether regions

then when i did it once he got all hurt and told me i was cheating.

so i left him, and started a new relationship with the person i "cheated" with.

i always question how open, open relationships really are.

(Disclaimer: everyone involved was tested and used protection as far as i know, and that risk is why i do closed relationships now)

wait, so you're a girl. your guy is talking to other girls, they wont' leave him alone and they text all the time.

sorry honey, thats not standard, you just have yourself a hot charming guy.

let it go and don't say anything, but keep an ear and an eye out for any suspicious behavior. he still owes his loyalty to you, and he may test what he can get away with. just show that you're smarter than him. be one step ahead when he makes a mistake, and show him that you're not someone to be triffled with and he'll be yours forever.

a guy loves a girl to keep him on his toes.

Because everyone wants what they can't have and it's been theoried that "taken" males and females are more attractive to the opposite sex. I believe that some men and women look at "taken" people as a hot commodity, the guy or girl must be really somthing special because they aren't single. It's almost like if you're single, there must be something wrong with you and I do believe that's how some people view men and women in that situation.

Even when I've made it perfectly clear that I'm in a very serious and long term relationship, it never deters men from coming onto me. I probably notice it more being in a relationship than being out of it.

I think it's time to walk away the SECOND you suspect something. The person you want to spend your life with, will never make you doubt them. And yes, that kind of love and respect does exist.

Depends on what you mean by "respond".

It's always flattering when someone else finds you attractive. However, acting on that when you're already in a relationship is a no-no.

It's fairly common for people of both sexes to find someone who is already taken as attractive. They feel that they are "vetted", if you know what I mean. Whereas if they are single, the question arises: "Why is this person single? Must be a reason."
