Well, I think I he has a girlfriend then he is off limits, unless he or she or they together decide to call it quits.

You mention her negative traits, there is usually two sides to every story. So I would try not to bash her too much. Its easy to do as an outsider looking in. But it can be a whole other story between the two in the relationship. An example might be that she could possibly feel that she has a boyfriend who flirts with other girls, lends them his hat and what not. Maybe she isn't just the " jealous type", possibly she has a reason to be jealous?

Honestly I'd try to stay out of it till they decide that it's over.

Give back his hat. This guy is emotionally cheating with you. And if he's willing to cheat with you, he's willing to cheat on you. This guy is no prize.

I think it's B*llsh*t and so do quite a few others I've seen.

On topic-My advice to you is best summed up by an old cliche, 'All's fair in love and war'

Quote:
And if he's willing to cheat with you, he's willing to cheat on you.
That's like saying 'If he's willing to break up with her he's willing to break up with you' or 'If he's willing to divorce her he's willing to divorce you'
In some case probably true, but in most cases apples and oranges.

How would you feel if he was your boyfriend and he was acting this way with another girl? Would you be okay with it?

So you'll never be in the same position his girlfriend is in now, apples and oranges again.

If I were you I'd ignore everything the guy above is saying. Regardless of where their relationship is, its NEVER a good idea to break someone up, emotionally or morally. The principle of 'if he'll cheat on her he can cheat on you' can be true. Likening it to divorcing someone is bollocks, as with splitting up, there's no deception. Both parties know where they stand.
If he feels the same about you as you do about him, why hasn't he called it a day with her? Sounds like he's having his cake and eying it at the moment. Getting the best of both worlds. I'd ask him outright how he feels, but don't do anything behind her back.

How do I ask him though..What if he's like 'Whaaaat? I was just being your friend.' And like..stops talking to me completely.

I'd say the same about you, but I'm going to be honest and say that just because I say 'yes' and you say 'no' doesn't mean she should ignore everything you say
If you don't think the advise I'm giving is good, give different advice, but if you're going to disagree with something I said that isn't advice, like so
