It happens , when we are unsure about how a girl really feels about us or what her true intentions are with us. If we feel she is only with us for sex , then we are pretty much open to meeting other girls’ as well that are seeking more than just sex. Me personally will not commit to a girl until she proves she is committed to me , if I am not her top priority sadly she won’t be mine , it mainly comes down to how much time she invests into me , if she treats me like an option then I will treat her like one , my intentions when meeting a beautiful girl is to have her by my side for the long haul , not the short haul , if she doesn’t invest the same time I am investing in her , I will start to lose interest in her and be open to meeting someone else , won’t hate her, I just don’t fully trust her. We aren’t mind readers and we don’t truly know what each others’ true intentions are , so we can only give what we want to receive in return ,, if we aren’t receiving we will eventually stop giving , for a relationship to work , it has to go both ways or it’s just a waste of time. You can only have Sucker written on your head for a short period of time until you realize that person isn’t giving you back the same in return. Never have Sucker written on your head for a long period of time , you will only be hurting yourself , someone that truly values you and wants to be with you won’t hesitate to be with you. People that need space from you and don’t invest a lot of time into you just like the convenience of you, Love triangles happen because of these reasons. It’s a chance we take

Yes and no. I liked a girl and wanted to ask her out and found out another guy asked her out which was actually messed up because this guy encouraged me to ask her out. But the "love triangle" part was she always wanted to text me every day and get made if I didn't text her. She wanted me to go to her equestrian events and when she moved to a big city and closed a store if she was left alone in the store she call me and keep me on the line (because her guy was at work) tell her delivery driver returned. I honestly don't know if this was a true love triangle but it's the closest I got.
I was never into any guy who might have feelings for someone else/was dating someone... it instantly kills any attraction I might have.
I was twice liked by two men at a time... same situation both times. One I was dating for a bit but separated from (I told them, didn't ghost them). Then I met someone new but those guys still liked me for a while and tried to keep in touch.
Personally I hate this trope in books/movies and even more in real life. I hate when someone gets hurt like that... for whatever reason, I easily lost feelings in such a situations, or when I was rejected. But I know some who went through literal hell after a rejection.
By accident, yes. I have been in one and it was not a fun experience.
But I would never choose to be in a love triangle. I don't compete in love or view love as a competition; if the man is someone I have to compete for (aka, I'm not the only one he wants), then I don't want him. I will not be an option.
Similarly, when I like someone, I am focused on one person and getting to know them. I will not purposefully get two guys to compete for my attention. It's unfair and disingenuous.

Yes… few times and it’s not fun if you’re the other person “competing” for the man. But I’ve been in the middle too. I don’t like it at all
I don't like feeling jealous and I drop any relationship that does not make me feel good.
At least twice. Both of my first two.
She was married with a kid but was planning on divorcing him because he abused her.
Next year, she was my guitarist's girlfriend, they got married at my insistence and, 3 weeks later, had a really stupid argument and he left her. A week later, she broke her foot and asked me to stay with her `til the cast came off. While living with her, she fell in love with me and we started fucking. 6 months later, she chose to go back to him and I wasn't allowed to have anything to do with her, anymore. About 10 years later, we DID get back together (as friends) but I was in love with someone else and she was still with him.Yes, in fact I’m still in it lol, even though I’m not a willing participant. I do modeling and a guy who is a photographer was recommended to me, so I DMed him on instagram. He started flirting with me but I wasn’t interested so I shut it down, but days later, I get a follow from his girlfriend. Apparently, I had unknowingly riled up their relationship by simply existing and she became obsessed with trying to prove a point to me about him. It went DEEP, the woman is a psycho and Grade A Pick me for a man who regularly cheats on her. Despite me not giving this man the time of day whatsoever, I’m such an important part of their relationship, so much so, that she’s copied me on numerous times, I’ve even spoken to her on the phone where she proceeded to tell me how bad of a man he is (as if I didn’t already know lol) then proceeds to post him. When I tell you, this woman is bat shit insane, it’s borderline hilarious. I keep her around just for the entertainment.
Men don’t seek out this crap. Sometimes we have it happen by coincidence but we don’t look to set it up
But women not so secretly love this. And you see it all the time in movies, TV and entertainment. It’s always 2 guys vying for the hand of one woman (twilight series crap).
In real life there can only be one winner and one loser I these scenarios. The woman will usually choose the guy who shows her less attention and friend zone the one who’s more into her.
Story of my life since preschool 😩 I always thought i was decisive but the love triangles I’ve been in prove otherwise… though i never let them carry on for more than a month. I often seem to choose who i met first even if the second had the stronger connection.
Not sure if it would be considered a love triangle. There was a time back in high school where 2 girls were interested in me. I did not have feelings for either one of them, yet for some reason they felt the need to compete for my attention. They ended up getting into a pretty ugly fight that I'd argue was scarier than most of the fights I've been in with my bullies.
Hell No! I like my intimacy, don`t want to see my SO pumped by other dicks, or me with another woman, will make me feel like i`m cheating, so nope... No Way, but this is just from My POV i don`t talk nor know about others.
Is that what the kids are calling it these days...

I had 2 guys after me at same time while I was not into any of em
first year of high school was chaotic
There's no investment in a love triangle. I guess if all you want is sex. There you go.
But, where does the triangle stop? it just keeps adding more people and becomes a rectangle then a hexagon and then an octagon.
Unknowingly, I was once. A girl knew I liked her and we were courting (for lack of a better word). We were inseparable. Meanwhile, she was having sex with another guy who I never knew about until he knocked her up.
There is way more to this tale but I rather just leave the details in the past.Yes. For me, it felt awesome. For the two girls, it was gut wrenching. So I ended it.
Not that I know of. Thing is if more than 1 person ever loved me I would not have noticed
Nope i'm 100% loyal'
No triangles with me, if i was in love with someone than it will be a line only, straight line between me and her hahaIt is not an issue when everyone genuinely loves each other.
I've been in a love/Hate triangle. My wife loves me, hates my best friend (female) I love/hate my best friend and she love/hates me and hates my wife.
No... and not interested. Once you tell me that you are involved with someone else, I look forward the exit...
To the asker I’ve been kicked in the balls by both girls involved in the love triangle does that count?
No. If she looks at another guy he can have her.
