The more important question sometimes is why partnered up members take such an interest in this thread - I think I would find that more worrying tbh

Living vicariously - or a touch of schadenfreude - maybe both.

Update.

I'm going for a drink with both of them next week.

Even more amazingly I've been at lunch and the waitress was a complete knockout - we're going on a date next week. And yes, she's single laugh

nobody said that. I don't know where you get your attitudes from but the fact you are filling in the gaps yourself makes me wonder how well adjusted you really are compared to how you'd like to be seen. Do they not call this sort of stuff 'white knighting'? Women don't want pushovers by the way.
I am very well adjusted and thank you for asking. You seem rather old fashioned in attitude from your comments. Women don’t want pushovers is another rotate

I did ask you how you would deal with the situation which you have not answered.

i suspect she won't go home and tell her fiance about it so it's a moot point. I'd carry on unaware of it, if it was me.

why would that be worrying. I've subscribed to this thread since I was last single.

Sometimes it's useful to have the advice of someone who has what you want, except you don't see it like that huh.

So if the conversation’s a bit slow or boring they can natter with each other. Genius.

I am single but not looking. This thread is like reading the advice column in the newspaper. I think Petrus deserves his own photo story.

When I moved to the South of France I was a member of a site called MeetUp - people who wanted to meet local people who had a few common interests. It wasn't a bonking site.

Well you're obviously a very sociable bloke, good on you.

If I was single and met a potential who then told me she actually had a partner, I can't think in what universe I could be bothered to go for a drink with both of them.

That is for the couple to agree on boundaries together. It is not for the fiancé to decide. He does not own her !
Very much this. A good (older) friend told me when I was in my early 20's to treat a partner like a butterfly - if you squeeze to tightly you'll crush them, and they'll die - but if they want to fly off, you have to let them.
Or you can put them in a jam jar with the lid on and an air hole for breathing.
This ended me. biglaugh

Anyway, back to actual dating!

Have one lined up for Sunday morning, wants to meet for a coffee and a wander, convo so far has been bland so not holding my breath, but slim pickings at the moment so what the hell.

Blown the dust of my tennis racquet as well, just in case I get called up to be a fourth biggrin

I'm going for a win treble with this.
Or given the circumstances should it be "each way"?
