I consider someone in a committed relationship to be taken until I'm told otherwise.

I consider a girls boyfriend to be like a gun, with an inconsistent trigger.

So I run for my life when a girl says "I have a boyfriend."

Also, girls if you are seeing someone, please be sure to let me know and not let me find out at the movies. I like being able to stand up and sit down.

If there is another woman in the picture, in any way, shape or form, I consider him taken.

Do not tell me you're unhappy, she doesn't understand you, or you've been thinking about breaking-up.

If your on the fence about your relationship and sniffing around, I wouldn't date you anyway. If you'd act like that with her you'd act like that with me.

Applies to women too.

When I met my husband, I was in a relationship. Overlooking this fact worked out well for him. Sometimes people need to go for it if it feels right.

If your friends think this they are basically saying they would steal your guy and not even be loyal to him unless he folded to being FORCED to propose to them? Why would anyone propose to the town pin cushion that would sleep with whoever's boyfriend? LOL

You need some new friends before your current ones give you some new problems.

I think if you try to flirt or hook up with anyone who is married or dating you reek of desperation and your skank factor is off the charts.

When a man says he has a girlfriend, it means he is not available to other women. He is telling you "not interested."

Unless he's a cheater.

And I agree with Pitt: You need new friends. The ones you have are, hmmm, well, I don't want to start a war. Let's just say "smarmy" and leave it at that.

I disagree--I expect exclusivity if I'm going to be in a relationship. She gets it from me, why should I not get it from her?

The whole "FWB" concept is just so much BS, in my eyes.

And if one won't, someone else will and that's the point I was trying to make, that I'm fair game to another man, as long as we're "in a relationship". It may not mean I want to be fair game, but I pretty much am so if I'm unhappy in a relationship and I don't see it going anywhere, I'm at liberty to take the "better" partner at my convenience. That's not cheating, its just looking for "the one".

And to the person that said a man can cheat in a marriage too and/or in a "relationship", well if he shows fidelity issues in any way before the marriage, the women who marries him is blind and chose poorly.
And if she does it, shows fidelity issues, it doesn't matter if she's actually married or not. If she can't honor a commitment, then why would you marry someone who demonstrates that she can't honor her commitments either?

I considered myself a free agent until I was officially engaged. I never made any vows to the men I dated, nor did I express or agree to any level of commitment, verbal or otherwise.

Trouble happens when assumptions are made. Some men got really possessive after having taken me out on a date or two. They wrongly assumed that we were in a "relationship" and they had the right to know my whereabouts and who I was spending my time with he wasn't around.

Um, no. In my mind, you aren't in a committed relationship until you both agree that you are in a committed relationship. Until then, you are just dating and you are free to do as you please and date others if you choose to.
