Stealing girlfriend/boyfriend

tough question, only if the girl's boyfriend is an asshole! but in other situations i wouldn't
 
People arent property so they cant be stolen.
 
I like to think I saved an INFJ from a bad relationship by listening to her problems and reflecting back how shitty her boyfriend seemed. After a few months of allowing herself to be abused she finally broke it off with him. Naturally we ended up having a relationship together but I don't know if that counts as stealing. I don't usually pursue somebody if I know they're already in a relationship.
 
Would you steal someone else's girlfriend/boyfriend? And why would you do it or not do it?

you can't steal someone. they have to want to go.
i wouldn't pursue another person's partner because they are already in a relationship. period.
if they 'made themselves available' it would be an eye opener as to what type of relationship to expect with that person.
 
That's a horrible thing to do. I'm too naturally empathetic to try such a thing. And, for some reason, I get paranoid about karma sometimes.

Maybe if I had a good reason.
 
As [MENTION=731]uberrogo[/MENTION] said, it's not technically true.

But I think the topic is interesting. It brings to mind the tension between friends when one dates the former's ex. In these cases there isn't even a current, legitimate relationship, but it may still be considered somewhat taboo.
I think that what is implicit in the topic is whether one would attempt to convince someone to leave their current relationship in order to pursue one of their own though.
I haven't gone so far, but I did pursue a relationship with someone that a friend of mine also tried to pursue, but only after she told me herself that she was not interested in him. He did seem upset by it, but he didn't really express it towards me.
 
i disagree with the above(s).

anything can be stolen.
 
Nope. :3

Because that's badddd. :D

i didnt say it SHOULD be stolen. i said anything CAN be stolen.
 
steal [steel]
1. to take (the property of another or others) without permission or right, especially secretly or by force: A pickpocket stole his watch.
2. to appropriate (ideas, credit, words, etc.) without right or acknowledgment.
3. to take, get, or win insidiously, surreptitiously, subtly, or by chance: He stole my girlfriend.
4. to move, bring, convey, or put secretly or quietly; smuggle (usually followed by away, from, in, into, etc.): They stole the bicycle into the bedroom to surprise the child.
5. Baseball . (of a base runner) to gain (a base) without the help of a walk or batted ball, as by running to it during the delivery of a pitch.

Both uses are correct.
 
Hell yes I would. If I can steal her (figuratively speaking) than she wasn't meant to be in that relationship with him and since I date to pursue marriage I consider my future wife more valuable to me than that current relationship. If someone was dating my future wife you bet your ass I'd steal her if she could be stolen. Married people are off limits. Engaged people are almost always off limits. Dating people are not automatically off limits. I may look like an ass for this. That's fine. After I slip that ring on her finger before God and our relatives, laugh and cry with her through love and life, or even raise some kids together that ex-boyfriend can get over it or kiss my ass.

Is that a yes or a no?

Just for clarification: "To steal someone's girlfriend" (or boyfriend) is a figure of speech, it doesn't really mean you're treating the girl as property. It just means you're trying to make her fall in love with you while she's in a relationship with someone else.
