Personally, I immediately back off if I find out a guy is either in a relationship or married. I have friends who think anyone who isn't married is fair game, but I absolutely disagree.

... if they are in a relationship, they are not single.
If they had just a date or two with someone then they are not off limits, but once they are in a relationship- married, living together or not, then I feel they should be off limits.
We had a whole thread on this a while back. "In a relationship" means, for many, NOT single. Though one poster's friends would go after any guy not wearing a wedding ring.
Additionally for me, siblings of people I know, or ex-girlfriends of people I know are off limits.
If somebody is in a relationship and considers himself to be single and unattached/"fair game," I certainly don't want to be the next one dating him. In my opinion, the only people who prefer to go after those who are already involved with somebody else are the ones who have some sort of need fulfilled by the act of "taking something away" from somebody else. These are usually people I find unappealing, in any context, they're meddlers and sh*tstirrers.
Each individual decides if they want to present themself as 'fair game'.
Thank you. I think too many people see things one dimensional or black and white. I'm a single guy and I respect a lady if she's in a relationship. Guess what though? If I and the lady that's in the relationship are talking, and her man isn't paying her attention or giving her the loving that she desires and I can fulfill that void-I will, I'll be there. I've been in that situation. I was respectful that she was in a relationship but not to sound like a douche bag-but-its not my fault that her man isn't satisfying her.
In the end its up to how that person presents their status and what they want.
