@ifyalways

i understand u from your own point of view,i do,,but u seem to have forgotten that;DAT same God uses foolish things to confirm the wise,they say man proposes and God disposes,maybe d guy just got engaged to the girl out of his own wish or wants,and maybe that is not d person God wants for him,sometimes we humans try to be faster than our shadow,and at d end we make mistakes,this same God who is perfect might bring a girl before the guy to try and distract him,because d one he is engaged to aint his wife,the igbos will say when a man marries two wives he then knows which one is better,i know what is mine is mine and i don't pray to find myself in such situation,nobody is helping God do his work,but sometimes we help God through prayers like "GOD I LOVE DIS GUY WT MY HEART;IS HE FOR ME?PLEASE IF HE IS LET HIM COME,now i don't believe if a girl dates an engaged guy its a crime because,because even if the girl the guy is engaged to,if she goes down on her knees and cry to God telling him someother girl has taken her man,who will she tell GOD the man is to her:THE FIANCEE OR THE HUSBAND,God does not fight a  battle that is not LEGAL OR JUSTIFIED,even if he wants to, the devil i trust will go and question him,yes,he will question him and ask him HAVE THEY WEDDED BEFORE UR SIGHT?,but if d guy is married then its wrong for a girl to come in between,thats a sin,but hence d guy has not sworn before GOD AND MAN ,IN THE CHURCH BEFORE A PRIEST OR PASTOR,AND HAS NOT WORN THE RING THE PASTOR HAS BLESSED IN THE ALTAR,believe me he is still free

Ah, ah, what are you guys saying? Why get engaged in the first place if the guy still has it at the back of his mind that the chase is still on with other girls"? Why waste the other person's time? Na wa ooo

as long as the man hasn't walked down the altar he is fair game Grin
same goes for a woman.

engagement is not marriage.
even on the wedding eve,a man  or a woman can decide to disengage.
@the poster if you're falling for a man engaged to someone else and he feels the same about you ,he ought to tell his "engaged" the truth.
But remember he could do same to you somewhere along the line afterall he is just engaged Cool

Like many already said,a broken engagement is a million times preferred to a failed marriage

Once u give that girl a ring and ask her to marry you (i suppose this is the engagement stage the poster is talking about) . . . she has every right to claim u as her sole property.

If you still want to play the field then don't decieve her with an engagement that means nothing to you.

ROFL.
I know a girl whose fiance left and married another woman after the initial stages of the  traditional wedding.
He just fell out of love and found the love of his life,he said.
Such is life

Men divorce their wives and marry other women for "irreconciliable differences" . . . does that mean the marriage establishment is fair game?

NO David but as long as they haven't walked down the isle,they are free to go their seperate ways.
There is no contract yet
You can't drag someone to the Isle can you?

If any union was bound to end,I pray it ends a day before the wedding.

But do u mean to advocate that another woman is free to "tap" up the brother while he is engaged to someone else?

every  woman is free to tap d guy while he is engaged,he hasnt walked down the aisle for pity's sake,he does not belong to any woman till he has walked up d aisle wt her,my best friend got married same way,she fell inlove wt d guy and played maturedly,because d other girl was always coming at her(i mean fighting her)and telling her to leave her husband,i encouraged this friend of mine to leave d guy for d girl,she refused and said nobody has d guy until he is married,and as i type now,she won d battle and now lives in south africa wt her husband because they got married,that he is engaged doesnt mean he is not available,every man or woman is available for any partner as long as there is no confirmation at d altar(wedding)

as long as the man is not married,he is free to change his mind and so is she.
Of course I wouldn't encourage some one to go looking for an engaged man to date

Of course we know they are free . . . but if you think u'd rather marry another man then step up to me and let me know asap. Dont go around my back cheating and then using the "afterall we arent married" excuse.
I see engagement as the first step to marital commitment, if u can't be faithful to that woman who u're not even married to neither can she trust you to be faithful 10yrs after marriage.

Bros, once engaged there is nothing like away match again.
I guess where i might differ with some is that i wont be engaging a girl if i were not 150% sure that is the woman i want to spend the rest of my life with.
Once she has that ring nothing can part us again o.

Engagement no be small thing o.

Thanks dear.
I think what people have a problem with is the thought of an engaged man cheating with another woman not really the thought of a broken engagement per se.
I believe in honesty.
If a man feels he no longer feels for his fiancee (and same for a woman who falls out of love),he ought to let her know immediately not string her along.

this is the part that gets me . . . how do u fall out of love with someone you wilfully engaged?
I suppose u both had spent a good deal of time in a relationship before making the decision to get married to each other . . .

OK let me come out and say it.

I was engaged to someone else before I met Mr Nwando Cool
The other man is happily married today and so am I
it just wasn't meant to be
