Is it normal to want boys i can't have?

These boys have girlfriends and yet I want them. I would never ever have a guy cheat on his girlfriend or ever even try to flirt with him but for some reason I get a wanting when a guy has a girlfriend.

    It's totally normal, everyone wants what they can't have, whether it be boys in a relationship, or an island C:

  • I'm in the exact same position. Its fucking annoying too. But, it doesn't mean that you can't talk to them still - luckily next week I'm going to a house party and this stunning guy is going to be there. I'll just make friendly conversation. Also, there's a saying about wanting something you can't have but I forgot it Lool :) but yeah its natural. Just try not to let it happen with every guy.

    Simply put... guys with girlfriends have girlfriends FOR A FUCKING REASON! D: they are attractive in a way... and you find it out just as those girlfriends did... sadly... we, the forever alone ones have not developed any particular detail that attracts your eye... so, yeah, it is fucking normal... now... what you can do is follow 2 or 3 stories of those you want... then, wait for the one who breaks up the first or seems to cheat to his GF, then hook him up :1 to the shitter with the feelings... go for what you like x1

    it's normal but never act on it because it'll just hurt people and you'll feel really bad. i should know some girl keeps telling my boyfrined she loves him and i just want to hurt her but i would never. i know he'd never cheat on me and she doesn't even live in the same country but it makes me upset.

  • google subconcsious criteria. if you want the guy, you cant like him too much more than he does you, it is not a level playing field and messes with the dynamics. If you have to distract yourself with another person it would bebworth it to revisit the situation when your on a level playing field.

    try to remember how you felt when someone liked you that you didnt like back, what was the reasons you wernt into them, what did they do to turn you off.

    yes its normal, but at some point wanting the same person that refuses to share those feelings is just you denying yourself a good experience that you doubt you deserve.

    From my experience, do not go for guys that you cant have.. Go for the ones u can.

  • From what I've observed, this is normal. I think most girls enjoy having the option to date a guy but once the options gone; they notice the change and want to date that guy. It's like having the tv free but not wanting to use it until your brother starts using it.

    When people are in secure relationships, they tend to act more like their true selves and they lack the air of desperation that a lot of single people have. I think it's normal to find someone who is this authentic, it's appealing. It says a lot about you; that you aren't purposely trying to be a home-wrecker. But you never know what's going on in a relationship and your single guy might be available sooner than you think. Would the boys be just as attractive to you if you found out one was single?

    You always want what you can't have. I like the comparisons some people make to it. My favourite is the one with diamonds; because they're so rare everybody wants one, but if everybody had diamonds and they were always around then you probably wouldn't care nearly as much.

    From my experience, girls(and guys) chase me more often when I'm in a relationship. However, when I'm single it is almost impossible to get someone to look my way more than once. Just can't win...
