It's perfectly fair game if they aren't engaged, married or living with someone.

You would try to start a relationship with someone who already is in a relationship? Would you not worry he does the same with you later on?


I believe in karma.

Could not the assumption be that this is being done ethically? Configurations like married/not ... don't matter to me. Gave the big NO to a married guy whose entire interest in me was based on the fact that I identify as poly. I mean. It is not important that I am a person myself. Just that I am available and not freaked out by the fact that he is married. Just No.

What does having an opposite gender platonic friendship have to do with anything? You wouldn't date someone who has friends?

I assume with any of these that they'd be ethically done and above board.

Right. Of all the single people in this world, why go after someone that’s in a relationship. I guess, desperate times calls for desperate measures.

As long as he's not married, engaged or living with someone then yes, I would. And no, it doesn't mean he would cheat once he's married to me. Many people remain single so they can date around. If he hasn't committed to the person, then he is still keeping his options open. I absolutely believe this. Absolutely.

I guess my next question is why a person who's in a non-committed relationship believes that it's somehow a committed one.

I dated around until I had a ring on my finger. Until then, I didn't "belong" to anyone, period.

The person in the relationship might be the one pursuing others. Also, the "relationship" he's in might not be a real one. In fact it might be that he's seeing signs it's not going to work out long term....that's why he is looking around. Women need to stop trying to chain a man to them who isn't in love with them.
