That's bullsh!t. I hope you get married some day and your wife cheats on you. its all good right??? After all, the other guy doesn't know you!!

Listen little man, you've never even had sex, so STFU.
ffm has a girlfriend does he not? I don't know what he's done with her, but sex is irrelevant, he knows what its like to be in a relationship and thus has a valid opinion here.

Whatever Deeko. You're the one who can't keep a GF no matter what, so I don't think you're particularly qualified to give advice either.

I believe I was with my girlfriend for a year, including 4 months of distance, which at my age is pretty damn good. Don't even try to bring that sh!t into this.

Seriously.. regardless of *whatever circumstances* she/you are under.

1. Respect the fact that she is in a relationship. Whether it be a bad one, long distance, whatever. Respect it.
2. Do you really want to be the rebound if she were to break up with him tomorrow?
3. If you did "persuade" her to dump her boyfriend and be with you. Is that really the type of girl you want to be with?

Oh well, just my .02. I just personally hate guys who try and break up other peoples' relationships. They are hard enough to maintain without outside interferance.

OK, fine. I may be cheat and an @sshole but I'm not a bastard. Get it right. Oh, and it's Mr. Asshole to you, thanks.

My views on this have been criticized more than once and that's ok. And actually, things have gotten a lot better b/t me and the GF in the past months. I've been a good boy....not that it matters to anyone but me.

I've been with my girl for three years including nine months of her away from me in college.

the length of time you are with one person doesn't make you a better boyfriend, sometimes people just don't fit together.

Its not your place to do that, and hopefully if you try, she'll see how manipulative you're trying to be and ditch you.

Right, length doesn't matter, you should respect a relationship that's been going on for a week or 10 years the same.

What's with all this 'respect the relationship' crap? If you're attracted to a girl, ask her out. She'll either say yes or no. What's the problem?

You may want to think twice about it if she's wearing a ring.

You, sir are a complete idiot. Sex is a perk. It doesn't make you a better or worse significant other. It's not the reason that you have a sh|tty or wonderful relationship -and it's NOT the reason that you stay faithful or not.

If you had a girlfriend, would you want other people asking her out? Of course not. Granter she will say no if the relatinoship means anything to her, but you still just don't fvck with other people's relationships.

Exactly. If you ask out someone who's already in a relationship, you're saying that you don't care that she's already made the decision to be with someone else. If you don't respect that small detail, how in the fsck are you going to respect the entire woman.

You guys believe in fate/destiny too much. If you see something you want, go for it. You might just miss your soulmate because she happens to be in a relationship when you see her.

Just because you don't try RIGHT NOW AT THIS VERY SECOND!!!! (omg!) doesn't mean you won't have another chance. If someone's in another relationship, be a friend and that's it.
