text: is it ok to like and try to get someone even though she already has a boyfriend?   rule #1 don't force something where it doesn’t fit.    you are playing with fire and people have gotten burned for attempting to steal a woman away from a man.  there are so many single women in the world man and it is not worth it to put yourself thru the trouble of getting a woman that is already spoken for, however, you could befriend her and tell her that you respect that she is taken for now but if she should happen to become available that you would like to take her out.
