I see this girl at school all the time that I think is really cute. I'm pretty sure she has a boyfriend but I would still like to get talking to her. I don't really know why, I think it's half hoping that she has a bad relationship and might be waiting for an excuse out, but I actually don't have a clue. I'm also just very honestly curious about what kind of person she is. I live in a small city and usually most non-foreign uni students are vaguely acquainted....I've never even heard someone mention her name before though.

As a person of the opposite sex, or assuming you are "the person" (if you are gay), how do you take to this situation? I met my last girlfriend while she was dating a different guy and she immediately started complaining about him, so I never felt uncomfortable about it at the time. However, that was a different person and I don't want to be too confident about approaching someone without knowing a thing, you know?

I know some people will probably think it's rude or inconsiderate to approach non-singles knowing they aren't singles, but if your relationship is secure, what's the big deal? Control issues? I'm extremely polite and not even the slighest bit a pushy person.

Thanks.

Nothing wrong with trying. Do you share classes with her? Do you always see her at the campus coffee shop or something? If yes, you've got an in- just wait til you see her and introduce yourself.

"Hey, I noticed you're in XX class with me, blahblahblahblah" or something like that. You never know until you make an attempt.

If she's not married she's fair game.
