Can I emphasize that this is a hypothetical situation and that I hope all of you who are using "you" mean it in the editorial "you" sense? :-)
Anyway, I'm mostly of the school that thinks that flirting is fine (because I flirt with everyone for my own amusement), but probably would not going beyond that. I honestly do think that what goes around comes around, the Golden Rule, blah blah blah. I feel like I DO have an obligation to that other girl not to be an asshole. That said, I'm not always sure where "flirting" ends and "crossing the line" begins and sometimes that gets me into trouble. Haha.
I think valkyrie's point is interesting too. Nine times out of ten (okay, maybe just eight), I think you're wrong, T -- I think that how a guy treats one woman he's with tends to indicate a trend in how he treats most women that he's with. But I certainly don't think that's an unbreakable rule -- you have guys that mature, or learn from their mistakes, or you have guys that just aren't happy with the person they're with but would be with you, whatever. You should tread carefully with these people, but I don't think that they're entirely off-limits.
