Now, you really found this person very attractive and you loved this person's personality. Would you try and steal him/her away by competing with the other person, or would you just not get involved knowing he/she is seeing someone else?
2. Lets say you met a man/woman and he/she was in a relationship with someone else. You just happened to work with this person and you two always would go to lunch together. Now, remember you are really attracted to this person. Would you try and steal him/her or would you keep it on a friendship level?
3. Last question. If your fraternity brother or sorority sister or friend's relationship didn't work, and you always thought he/she was very attractive, and that person started to like you. Would you go ahead and get involved with him/her knowing you're friend sorority sister or fraternity brother still had feelings for him/her or would you keep your distance?

I'd have to say definite nos to 1 and 2, just because no person is worth competing for... if they like you, they do, and that's that. If not, forget about it.
For number 3, most guys I know would definitely not mess with a friend's/brother's ex girl, simply because of the "trifling factor." BUT, I think that it's not so cut-and-dry. Considering the fact that there are only so many people in this world you may be compatible with, it would be too hasty to ignore the possibilities with someone simply based on who they dated previously.
Of course, if they were still in love with that person, you're just setting yourself up. But that goes for whether or not you know the ex.
