I think[b] Date Dish Blog[/b] may be projecting from her own life. 😕 Angelina Jolie pursued and got a man who was [i]married[/i]. This situation is very different. These two people are probably in their late teens, and are[i] just dating[/i] in college. [b]In different states no less![/b] Big difference.

I don’t advocate cheating, but it’s important to not waste your time, and if this guy realizes that a relationship he’s in isn’t working and there’s a woman at his college who is interested in him, and he’s interested in her, he should give himself the opportunity to date her. There’s absolutely no point in wasting his time, and his long distance and possibly soon to be ex-girlfriend’s time, if they’re not meant to be. He owes it to himself and his current girlfriend to figure out if they should continue dating.

That said, let’s give the guys some credit here! 😆 Feminine wiles are very powerful, but Brad Pitt didn’t exactly have a gun to his head when he left his wife for Ms. Jolie. Nor did she tackle him, stow him in the back of her SUV and drug him until he divorced his wife. 😉 He actually had some free will to exercise — and so does this guy. In fact, Brad Pitt left his wife (And yes, divorce is sad, but it happens, and it’s never the end of the world — in fact it’s often the beginning of the next chapter!) and went on to have a rich life with Angelina. And frankly, Jennifer Aniston seems to have a pretty good life, herself!

The point is that dating well means making sure you’re with the right person. 😀
