I had a discussion with a couple of friends a while back about this issue. Two felt that they honered only engagements and marriages, men with girlfriends were fair game. I had a little problem with that.

I would have a problem with that too. A man who does his girl wrong with you will end up doing it again. And where is your self-esteem that you would want to be affiliated with that person in any way?
If the man breaks up with his girlfriend and then you date that s a different issue. Messing around with someone who doesn't have the courage to just break up with his girlfriend if he is THAT eager to move on is wrong.
But in some ways the rules are different for guys with girlfriends. I would flirt a guy who had a girlfriend. I would still try to be friendly with the girlfriend, but wouldn't feel awkward about having a deep friendship with the guy in that case. I just wouldn't encourage him to cheat.
