Guys, girls....how do you handle this?
In the course of normal conversation a girl says "Ha ha, I know my boyfriend...blah blah blah...." Nothing purposeful about letting you know that, she's just making conversation. But it tips you off that, "Ok, buddy, she has a boyfriend....back off."
On the other hand, though, you realize that not every girl who has a boyfriend is serious about that boyfriend and that you COULD date her if she realized she wasn't all that serious about him. But you don't want to be a sleeze-bag either, or the guy who tries to break them up. But you won't be the guy who she cheats on him with either.
See the conundrum? Is this one of this things that you forget about and move on with? Or is there a non-sleezy way to handle it without ending up being JUST her friend forever and ever, even if she's single?
Your thoughts?
