Have you ever fallen for someone who was "Taken" at the time? If so, how did you handle it?

Yeh I used to like a girl when I was in the last year of high-school, but she dated an older guy, overall I just hid it the entire year, and we never talked after that, but it hurts a bit. We used to take the same bus and were quite close.

No. Life is too short to waste your time on people who are taken.

Yep, but I'm 'taken' as well.

It was a crush, I enjoyed, recognized and owned it as such.

I still think of her fondly.

I've had many crushes on 'taken' ladies before I was myself taken.

Se la vie.

Yes. Several. In most cases, we were friends and I moved past the crush. The uniqueness of them as a friend was worth more than trying to pursue a romantic relationship and everything crashing and burning. One girl knew I had fallen for her and she made things awkward and so I ended up avoiding her and even a few activities because of it. She transferred schools after that year, though, saving future awkwardness.

I moved on.
