Tell me your insight about this because I have a friend who just need some advice on this area.Ive give my advice to him, but need to further give him insight so that he will know what to do.Based on his story she could feel that the girl likes him but he was confuse if that was only his assumption or not.Your insight would be great help...

Hi, I think it would be inappropriate if he would do the first move. If he thinks that the girl likes him too, then maybe he can wait for the girl to do the first step of breaking her relationship with his present boyfriend, provided if his assumption is really true. But if it is not, then it would be a hard scenario for him to encroach in that relationship. On the other hand, if you are going to court a girl who has already a boyfriend, then that might sound unethical. We just have to reverse the situation, what if you were the boyfriend of that girl, then there is this guy that will try to ruin your relationship with your partner, so probably you might get angry and mad if you would encounter that.
I just hope the best for your friend and luckily, he will be able to solve his love problem. Only time will answer his question. If his assumption is true, then he is lucky enough because he will have a fifty-fifty chance to have that girl in the near future.
Have a nice day and God speed!

hey there
i feel that a girl being committed should not be a restriction for guys to try courting her if they like her. after all everyone makes mistakes in their life and they should have one opportunity to rectify that error. dont u think so???

of course its not okay. it would be a waste of time. i mean, im a girl and if i have a boyfriend, i wouldnt be looking for another one so i wont pay attention to any guys who would want to court me.
in your friend's case, if the girl likes him, then i guess he should wait first for the girl to break up with his boyfriend. if he courted her while she's still in a relationship, that would be like trying to steal another man's girl right? and how would the boyfriend feels? of course he'd be mad. i guess your friend should put himself to the boyfriend's shoes so that he can have any idea of how the boyfriend would feel if his girlfriend is being courted by another guy.
all in all, i think its not okay. ^__^

it is OK for a boy to court a girl who has already have a boyfriend. frankly, i have to say that some girls don't know love at all, although they have boyfriends. and some girls are not happy with their current boyfriends.
besides, no one says that it is not allowed to court a girl who has a boyfriend. you have your own right to seek for your lover. in addition, when you court her, then you will find she is not suitable for you at all.
but you have to remember one point that you must respect the girl and her boyfriend.

how about waiting for the time that the girl splits up with her boyfriend then the boy could now court the girl. as you said, it's a matter of respecting both the girl and the boy. to me, i won't allow my boy to go in between the two not unless the girl clears up everything with her current boyfriend.

waiting is just wasting of time. You are chasing a ghost, that's the dilemma of Mr. or Ms. 80%.
First, if she really break up, what if not until they will be get married soon?
Second, if she really break up, are you sure after the woman breaks-up, she will choose you as her next love? Not certain.

I don't think it's a good idea. But knowing guys, you love challenges, right? It would be an achievement for you if the girl "who has a boyfriend" sadi yes to you. On the other hand, do you think it's worth a try if in the end she chooses the other guy prior to you? It would somehow worthy giving a try than not trying at all, right? Just one piece of advice, it could hurt you alot in the end or elate you.

It is a dangerous path and one not to be recommended. While I strongly disagree with the person who seems to think that this girl is her boyfriend's 'property' (especially if it's the boyfriend who is doing the thinking!), I do see dangers.
It may be that the girl does like your friend. It is more likely that she is trying to get out of a relationship or, perhaps, is the naturally flirtatious type. I would see warning signals immediately for this reason alone. Down the line, who is to say that she won't do exactly the same to him as she seems to be doing to her current boyfriend? I know that men are probably more capable of this behaviour but there are some (very attractive) women who are 'butterflies' too.
I would strongly advise your friend to leave her to someone else, if he is looking for a lasting and meaningful relationship!

It might not be a good idea, because he is far more likely to get his feelings hurt. He should try to ask her how serious she is about her boyfriend, etc., and that might tell him if he has any chance with her.

oh well for me its not right, The best word for that is Respect. The fact that he knows the girl have already a boyfriend he should respect that. After all he wouldnt like to be the cause to ruin someone relationship. What he needs to do is to stay away from that girl if its the only way he can avoid the chances of getting tempted or face it and accept it and respect it that she is not available. maybe what he had in mind is just really an assumption. Perhaps the girl is just naturally friendly and he mistakenly assume it that she like your friend. He should think and see the situation if theres a possibility he is feeling something for that girl, he should do something to erase it as early because he might ruin someones relationship. YOu know its nice and better to enter a relationship when everything is ok not complicated. If he allows it to feel like that, he knows the complication and the pain. so he better watch out. after all the advices he will still be the one to decide for himself. so Goodluck for him.

If I was the guy I would just befriend the girl for now. Let this be the "getting to know each other" stage. Then when she becomes available, that's when I'll make my move.

he's assumption may be correct but just to be sure let him wait for the proper timing. in other words, your friend has to wait for the relationship of the girl and her current boyfriend ends up before he comes in. it's a matter of giving respect to both the girl and her current boyfriend. advise your friend not to mess up with the girl's relationship with her boyfriend until when the girl is available again.

as I said, waiting the woman broke apart is just chasing a ghost and wasting your time. What if you waiting for sometimes, suddenly you heard about she will get married with the man. Feel dumb now?
Yep maybe you think there is still a half chance she will broke up, but when? 3 months later? 6 months later? 1 year? ever heard a couple with 7 years?
WAITING 7 YEARS?! aww cut the crap, when mean time you will get 2 valuable thoughts,
True Love is painful and cruel to you -- and -- Why Am I so stupid wasting my valuable time just for this woman (worst thought if she will get married soon with the man), Oh my God, I better end my life.
Maybe Right if you love this woman, nobody can stop you from loving and waiting. But re-think, is it worthy to do so? Remember she is Ms. 80%. It's totally different if she is a single woman right now, the case will a bit ease and less pain, you can shoot out your feeling without burden.
But she is not, no matter how you shoot out your feeling towards her, she will give you an easy answer, "Sorry, Occupied".
Better tell your friend, just make his life goes on, there are still many things important to do in life. Tell him, one day you will meet your Lucky Woman.

It is probably not a good idea to court or pursue another person's boyfriend or girlfriend. Not only is your friend risking a most embarrassing rejection, he is also risking a confrontation that may not be very friendly with the girl's current partner which could lead to this person's friends also getting involved.
Plus I know within my friends and social groups that a guy who lusts for another man's girl is just pegged as creepy, desperate, and generally awkward to be around.
My advice is to tell your friend to watch this one from a distance, if this girlfriend and her partner break up or take a break then he has full right and ability to move in for a date or to talk to her. Otherwise he needs to back off and respect a relationship that he has no part in currently.

I think this relation is too heavy.
First, she is Ms. 80%. What is Ms. 80%? It's a girl who is already having a relationship. You may found this in by googling what is Ms. 80%. And what I read, there are more disadvantages rather than else of making a relationship with this kind.
Second, it's his assumption. And better be it, because sometimes we men read a bit snippets of woman signal or kinda behavior, we had judged she is giving us a love signal, in fact it's Not.
Remember, woman's Like is not our man's Like. It's totally different. We men read as woman's Like is a love signal, in fact it's not. Woman will not easily falling in love just like we did. They need to convinced themselves before decided you are completely the one, and it does takes time and of course each woman is vary in their love decision-making. How you can show your attention, while there is another guy always keep stand beside her. Hard, exhausting, and waste of time because the result is rarely in good side.
Third, mostly triangle love relationship will not be long-lasted relation. If she is an easy-going girl while she is in a relation. Lately, your friend might face the same cause if another better man come in and cut their ropes.
Better ask your friend to avoid this. Loving Ms 80% is never completely has a good result in the end, even a normal relationship start from Ms 100% still can face the same consequences. Why choose the fragile path.
Besides there are still many nice girls out there who are living with their single life. Why not advice your friend to find the Ms. 100%?
