Are people who KNOW they are caught in a love triangle just fools waiting to be hurt?

It's one thing when you are blissfully unaware that the person you are seeing also wants to see or is seeing someone else, but what happens when you clearly know someone is pursuing them or they are pursuing someone else and that feeling is mutual. Are you not a fool for sticking around and trying to win out or do you think there is more merit in fighting for what you want and let the better wo/man win?

For the most part yes , Love triangles happen because one person doesn’t truly know what they want , they are just weighing their options and trying to figure out who is the better partner for them. It’s pretty much a waiting game on who they are going to choose. The only fools are the ones waiting to see who they are going to choose. If someone’s picking you immediately , you are best to move on and weigh your options as well. Everytime I got caught in a love triangle , I immediately removed myself from it and chose another girl that wasn’t in a love triangle. Because someone that really wants to be with you and cares about you , isn’t going to make you wait period. People that make you wait are selfish people that only care about what’s best for themselves , my advice is don’t date those type of people whatsoever , they do not know how to give the same way they want to receive. I prefer girls’ that chase me and make it clear they only want me and no one else

Some are but many are in denial while they should be focusing on someone whose better for them. For some reason or another they think they can either win someone back or win someone over the truth is that it never ends well for any of the three people 9.99/10.

If someone wants you genuinely they will PICK you if you made your move and they’re with someone else or not giving you much attention just move on to find someone who will.

But some people just can’t get over someone even if they are just not that interested or just fueling more then one person to feed their ego. If someone makes a move on someone who is interested they will return that

Ah, love triangles, the spicy drama of relationship dynamics! Being knowingly caught in one is like watching a romantic thriller where you've got a front-row seat. Sure, some might say it's a fool's errand, but hey, who doesn't like a little drama now and then?

Fighting for love can feel like the highlight of a rom-com, but it's essential to weigh your feelings and self-worth. Remember, if they're into someone else, that’s a red flag twinkling brighter than a disco ball. Keep your heart safe and be sure you're not the one who's going to get ghosted. 😉

A person who is KNOWINGLY in a love triangle and don't remove themselves from the situation is simply an idiot.

A person who is in one unawares is a victim of the one who knows about it.

All of life is a competition. We compete for jobs, women, houses…. You name it we compete for it.
That being said I will put my best foot forward and try to win the girls heart BUT I won’t share her with another guy. Was in a situation like this once and when I found out i told her outright “ him or me”! You can’t have both. Whatever she decided what the choice she would have to live with.

Yeah, you're a fool for sticking around and letting someone else decide your fate. Walk away. And don't turn around. Make the decision for them. It's probably not a contest you want to win anyway.

[NicholasRedone]

Probably - especially if one doesn't get the hint or message that - only two can tango.

There's three there's a crowd. Usually it works when one realises who's the one least compatible

[dustybiker2]

Not if there is honesty. The whole point of dating is to hopefully find someone you are compatible enough to be in a relationship with.

[Nikki1989]

Love triangles never work when it is done behind the back of another.

As long as sidepiece is chill being #2 they're big boys n girls. Accept it, use each other knowing it's just for sex

[NoOneEver]

Yes. I think if we get to that point. Obviously we end up hurting ourselves ironically with “hope”

[Anonymous]

OF course but then again its their own ego that doesn't make them understand thats it time to let go and search somewhere else.

[Jessie1103]

I think they enjoy the chase more.

[Anonymous]

Yes.
