montecito: I wouldn't date him. The "honest" part is to make you think he's an upstanding guy. If he sneaks behind her back he'll do the same thing to you. Actions speak louder then words..
yeah.....if he barks like a dog....he probably is a dog, just wanting to wag his tail for a brief moment.
still I wonder if there are any women who would go for it. and what their motivation is...
carenza: a person seems interested in you, but he or she is honest and says he or she is in a relationship already but it's about to end.
what if you know this relationship is not working....would you date that person?
do you think you're setting yourself up to get hurt or do you think...oh well, this relationship isn't working at all and it's a matter of time before it ends....so why not?

is the 'being honest' part important?
what is your opinion about this?
c'mon cara...
i'd tell him he'd be doin a whole lot of this ((( )))before he'd get a date with me...
Dagosto: Let's see. He or she says they're in a relationship. OK. Seems honest.
He or she claims to be in a relationship but already knows it is over, yet is maintaining the pretense. Not OK. Does not seem honest.
I don't see how he or she can have it both ways and still claim to be honest. Honesty is not about who you are telling the truth to, it's about you. Either you are honest with everyone, or you're dishonest.
Just to check, I suggest you call his or her partner and ask them if they know their relationship is about to end.
Hey Dag!!!
That last sentence of yours ... spot on!!!
A few years ago I was chatting online (after making contact on a dating site) with a guy who claimed to "be separated" although still living under the same roof as apparently they lived in a HUGE house and neither could afford to move till it was sold. I told him I wasn't interested in a relationship but we carried on corresponding as friends ... anyhow ... a good few weeks later something he said (on messenger) made me ask him "Is your wife ACTUALLY aware that you're separated?" Of course the answer was "Well, hum, uhhhhh, mmmmmm, not exactely, but ... yadda yadda yadda!!!"
Fortunately, I'd listened to my instincts rather than his b/s. He was a very funny guy but honesty was not in his vocab!!!

Well, I met a man here over a year ago, his profile stated "Divorced". We were corresponding for a while, had a lot in common, we communicated wonderfully. But I always read between the lines,suspecting that he might be married, so I confronted him and he admitted it, but said that he's been separated from his wife for so long that divorce would be a very easy thing. So I went along with the relationship, which was very nice. We lived together for a year and few weeks ago he went back to England to get a divorce, well can you guess what he told me in the end??? So, my advise, find out as soon as you can what the status is and don't let yourself being fooled.

Hi Carenza,
While I agree with everyone's view that it is wrong to date those still in a relationship due to the trust issue, I am sure there will be those in a loveless marriage, who for various reasons are unwilling to leave what they have, (i.e. financial, children, self-esteem, etc), until they know they have someone else who they hope shall love them for the person they are.. It's a pretty sad situation all round..
Though as Polya has shown, there are those who just go and take everything they can get and destroy a person's hope and dreams of having a long-lasting, loving relationship that is exclusive!!
can't call the partner......I don't know who she (or he) is.....the man approaching me is a CS member who I don't know at all.
the more I think about it, the more angry I get.
what was this man thinking?
As I've seen your photos, I can guess exactly what he was thinking. He has an old Ford Fiesta, and would like to upgrade to a nice new Lamborghini.
Well, good for him, but he should know, you don't lie to your Lamborghini. They tend to run hot if you do and can then be verrrry expensive to maintain.

Goddess4u: If their relationship was not working that would become apparent very quickly. Therefore, if they did not eventually end it I would walk away jmo
