Ideally, men aren't going to go for someone taken. This sets most off, I think, including me. It just doesn't usually feel like you have much of a chance.

On the other hand, it can't hurt to at least try. It can be considered manipulation if you get to know the girl and try to get her once they break up, though. At least, that's how I see it. You may just get a good friend out of it.

I'm new here.. hoping to earn some cred in this section maybe. I wrote this a long time ago.

Moonlit night
Starless skies
Return to your norm
Return to the storm

Look up and see, above the street and clamor
The darkeness above in its splendor
Mistifying you with its existance
Keeping you down to earth with its voidance

We're out of the blue, again
Out of the red, way back when
There's nothing to make you understand
Nothing to help you on your glorious grandstand

I've withstood all events so far
All hardships past have left me with but a scar
But tonight's like a new adventure
As if I'm fitting in a new denture

I'm entangled in these webs of thought
But these strands won't tell you what I've wrought
My mind is full of shame and doubt
But I'm not accepting defeat without

A moonlit night above my head
Starless skies whispering what you said
Returning to your form
Returning to your warmth

Some of the rhyming sounds forced to me, now that I look back at it. It might have been, but I like it.
