Falling For Someone Who’s Taken

This tends to happen to some people, and everyone deals with it in a different way. It all depends on the situation, but their is one way I think it could be best handled.

Firstly, comsider the fact they are not single. Happy or not, they’re with someone. Secondly, assuming this is a secret love you harbor, you don’t know how they feel about you.

If the person you feel this way for is a close friend, telling them how you feel could jeopardize your friendship, and their happiness in their current relationship. It doesn’t mean you couldn’t ever tell them. If the opportunity came up, they became single, and you still find you’re in love with them - it could be a good time to finally open up about your feelings. Only you could really know how they would react to that, so use your judgment. While they’re with someone else their is no reason to interfere with what they may have with their current significant other.

Persuing someone that is taken can be pointless. It can even be dangerous. Not in a life or death manner, but if their was a friendship between the two of you it can make things rocky. If you have a working relationship with the person, it can make working together uncomfortable.

All I can really say is to think about the consequences before following through with anything. Weighing the pro’s and con’s can help you organize and make the best decision.
