Discussion between my friend and I about stealing yourself a girlfriend

Ok ok, this is a serious question because when is it ok to actually fight to take someone from someone else. Is there signs you would need to see? Is there gestures you should notice? Is there code words? I think we are all free to find the true love of our lives, but on the other hand I would not blame the other party for fighting for that love as well. hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm any opinions? And please no flames. This is just a conversation ;)

The only good thing I could think of is if the girl is being abused by the current partner & you can give them a better/happier future with you.

You can't steal a person. They have to decide that they want to be with you more than their current partner. Usually its due to the current relationship lacking that they would jump ship. That being said you should always break with a current partner fully before starting a new relationship with another person.

Seems like a pretty screwed up thing to do to me. Maybe if she really likes you and hates the guy she's with but can't leave him for whatever reason then I guess it'd be justifiable. That said I've noticed people love to exaggerate about how bad their girlfriend/boyfriend is, could be things can still easily be worked out between them. Besides, you gotta consider how you'd feel if some guy was trying to steal your girl. I once had a thing for a girl who was with a pretty shitty guy, she liked me back but couldn't just break things off with him for a number of reasons (such as living with him as he supported her financially) Not that I ever really asked her to anyway. Dude clearly didn't care about her and was just treating her like more of a pet than a girlfriend and ended up getting tired of her and dumping her anyway, but things with us never went anywhere because of distance issues. Thing is before that guy she was in an even worse relationship with an abusive ass that treated her so bad she tried to kill herself a few times. Really makes me wish I could have been there to have given her a better life, but that's just how things are sometimes.
