Is there any real point of befriending a woman who already has a boyfriend?

Question

Surely they'll never want to do anything with you.

Befriending someone, regardless of their relationship status, can have genuine and meaningful reasons. Building friendships with people is a natural and essential aspect of social interaction. However, it is crucial to approach friendships with respect, honesty, and appropriate boundaries, especially when the person you are befriending is already in a committed relationship.

Here are some points to consider:

Friendship and Mutual Interests: Befriending someone can be based on shared interests, values, and hobbies. Friendships provide opportunities for personal growth, support, and companionship.
Respect Boundaries: If the woman you wish to befriend is in a committed relationship, it's essential to respect her boundaries and the boundaries of her relationship. Avoid pursuing romantic interests if she is already in a happy and committed partnership.
Avoid Ulterior Motives: Befriending someone solely with the intention of trying to pursue a romantic relationship or breaking up their current relationship is unethical and disrespectful. Genuine friendships should not be used as a means to an end.
Emotional Support: Friendships can offer emotional support during challenging times, and being there as a friend without any hidden agenda can be valuable.
Learning and Growth: Building friendships with diverse individuals can lead to personal growth, broaden perspectives, and enrich life experiences.
Ultimately, the intention behind befriending someone should be genuine and respectful. If you find yourself developing romantic feelings for someone who is already in a committed relationship, it's essential to recognize and respect their existing partnership. Focus on building a healthy, platonic friendship and avoid crossing any boundaries that could jeopardize their relationship or cause discomfort.

Ehhhh this is a good question. In total honesty, women with no man make far better friends because you guys can do a lot together: go places, spend the day talking, go to events, etc. But that's not to say women with a boyfriend/husband are never any fun... just less fun lol.

It can still work if she actually wants to spend time with you as a friend, but you will have to deal with her worrying about what her man thinks, or about what she thinks you're after. And if you guys are spending a lot of time together then her man is going to either get jealous or possessive. Not that a friendship can't work with a woman who's already in a relationship, but I think you probably want someone who is on the same page with you and your time.

if you mean you want to be friends with girls that are already with someone in the hopes of fucking them or stealing them away... um.. 🔫🔫🔫🔫

if you mean like that if you're friends with her she'll never hang out with you cos if him, then there's still a point depending on the boyfriend. if he's not worried or controlling its all good. if he doesn't want his girl to have male friends or really jealous that's another thing

Cynicaldreamer · Accepted Answer

Yeah, to be  friends  with her. Anyone that asks this question is obviously is after more than friendship- and women typically avoid men like that... even if we're single. Because it implies you have a hidden motive and don't know how to just be friends with someone of the opposite sex.

Pinay_ako · Answer

If your purpose is to only be friends, then go for it. But if you have other intentions, drop it.

OlderAndWiser · Answer

If you think the only object of a relationship with a female is sex, then the answer is "no."

AviatorTom · Answer

Maybe, for a couple reasons: 1. Everyone deserves to have a friend 2. Maybe she has a friend who would be perfect for you 3. Maybe she and her boyfriend would like you to join them in a threesome

Avicenna · Answer

Yeah, if the two of you can genuinely be platonic friends and her boyfriend doesn't mind

sheenagwapa · Answer

petitedollbabee · Answer

So you’ll only befriend a woman in the hopes of  doing stuff  with her? Yikes, that’s sad. Stop tricking women and find something better to do.

Miss_Pretty · Answer

Been in this situation and tried to be friends with a guy. My partner knew about it because we are open with eachother. He told me its extremely hard for men to be JUST friends because they usually have other motives in mind. They also don't respect the fact they are seeing someone and it's about dominanceand who can have the girl in the end. He turned out to be right so I dropped our friendship.

Pistolshrimp · Answer

sure she might have single family members or friends that she can hook you up with. not only that but if you are a real friend and not trying to woo her or get in her pants, then you can have her be your wingman and perhaps even her boyfriend can be your wingman.

BoopBoopBeep · Answer

It seems one of us is unclear on what "friendship" means. Why do you care if they'll never want to do anything with you, since your friends? Have you "done stuff" with your male friends?

madhatters4 · Answer

sure. in order to be friends with her. if you only see woman as potential romantic partners, then no there is no reason to befriend a woman who has a boyfriend. but if you can see women as more than romantic partners then a girl with a boyfriend could just be a friend

Billlewis · Answer

Of course there is -- I much prefer to befriend and hopefully serve a beautiful woman who has a boyfriend whom she's having sex with fairly regularly, and although I know I'm obviously in the minority of most guys, I think it's very exciting to spoil a woman who's sexually active with the lucky guy she's dating.

ventustalks · Answer

This question has the meaning "women and men can't just be friends" underneath it. I think you are wrong. I have a boyfriend and I have lots of male friends that I get along with because we are simply humans who love their friends regardless of their gender.

BCA6010 · Answer

Short answer: no.

Longer answer: If the fact she has a boyfriend is dissuading you, that implies you want her for yourself. Therefore, becoming friends even with the intent of trying to date her if they break up is dishonest with yourself, not to mention a waste of time and effort in that respect. Furthermore, most women are a bit smarter than that and will figure out what you're up to, and probably won't want to date you in the event they vreak up anyway.

Ez-Bri-Z_v2 · Answer

Well, if your only motivation is to have a sexual relationship with her then no. If you are just looking for a friend then sure, why not?

TheSpaceGnome · Answer

The same reasons to be friends with a guy, for example video gaming, or whatever other social activies you like.

Yes a girlfriend/wife would need to start out as a friend to even know if you want to date them or not, but not every female friend is going to be a match (or even considered attractive by the guy in question), so platonic reltionships that stay platonic would be much more common than ones that become sexual.

UnWokeDude_OrNot · Answer

Definitely. I had some female friends who had their respective boyfriends. And I was friends with them as well.

It is just that, you need to be not ever interested in that girl romantically at all. Otherwise you are a ticking bomb to yourself.

zero444440000 · Answer

i don't see why there is any less point in befriending someone "if friendship is all your looking for that is, or if she has a bad boyfriend and you hope to jump in and support her as her new boyfriend ones they break up" who has a boyfriend then befriending a women who doesn't?

panda2712 · Answer

You can definitely be friends just because she has a boyfriend doesn’t mean she can’t be friends with other guys but if you want something more then friendship then don’t be “friends”

Nikki1989 · Answer

Have you never heard of friendship? You must have a miserable life.

Anonymous · Answer

I wouldn't, but that's because I'm a guy, and I KNOW guys... there are 2 things that'll make a guy go outside of his right mind. 1. Screwing with his money. 2. Him thinking someone might be screwing with his s/o. I already know this, so I'm not putting myself into that fire. I'll be friends with the guy... but I'm keeping a fair distance from her.

provokeesmokee · Answer

Befriending? Yes. But you're talking about fucking, not being friends.

Anonymous · Answer

It's one of the most effective ways to boost her ego and give her free emotional support while she gets all of her physical needs met by her boyfriend... In other words there is no logical reason to do so..

Lionman95 · Answer

Yes there is and that is gaining a friend. Would you act differently if someone came and said there is: There is no point in befriending a guy that has a girlfriend.

Alli39 · Answer

I mean. Yes. Being her friend would be the point. I don't see what her boyfriend has to do with that.

EmmaMary · Answer

That would greatly depend on what your true motives are.

Sirenboobzilla · Answer

Sounds like there's anterior motives to what you want

exitseven · Answer

Sometimes having a female friend that has a boyfriend can take the pressure off. If she didn't have a boyfriend there would always be this question about what the relationship could be.

spartan55 · Answer

You should never befriend a woman who wears mom jeans either

DJC110995 · Answer

Yes, to be FRIENDS. There's no point being friends with a woman who you just want to get with, it won't end well. My best friend is a married woman and because our relationship is purely platonic, we have a great friendship.

Wonderingguyy · Answer

I mean if you only want them as your friend then there’s a point if you’re searching for something more I wouldn’t bother

Anonymous · Answer

hate when guys dip whenever they find out you are in a relationship. oh thanks, guess that's all i'm good for...

Chthou95 · Answer

Nope. Youd be a second boyfriend essentially when you go and hang out. Protect her from danger, be her therapist when shit goes wrong, give her attention. Because she will need attention even from her male friend. Its really pointless

Yannishka · Answer

... Friendship. To become friends? If you see no point, you want more than just friendship.

The point is to be friends with her. Period.

Sparkie460 · Answer

Why not? I have female friends who are married, single, dating, separated and divorced. We hang out together and there's nothing going on between us.

AnusNdaPainus · Answer

No  there is no point.  there is also no point in dating a woman with male friends.

DextroShade · Answer

Putting yourself in the friend-zone is nothing more than a frustrating waste of your time.

Only if you want a seat on their friend zone/Simp bench.
