guilt? duty? obligation?

feel free to reverse males and females in the scenario, but i dont want to keep writing he/she him/her, etc.

lets say john has known robin for a while, theyre "friends" but rarely hang out, except in groups. john has always had a little thing for robin, and he thought she might be interested, but he didnt want to make things weird, so he never said anything.

john knows this guy michael through friends, theyre sort of friends/acquaintances. your basic "hey whats up" bullshit-in-passing type "friendship"

now lets say michael got to know robin through some friends, but it was much more recently than john. well michael goes full court press on robin, and they start casually "dating" or whatever you people call it (i think its "hooking up without obligations" to us on The Blog).

so here's the question. michael and robin havent had the DTR talk (define the relationship aka the end of man), and michael prefers it that way. hell, robin may also. what if robin starts showing interest in john?

is john obligated in any way to respect michael? would a determining factor be if john and michael have each other's cell phone numbers? i really think unless youre just a good christian boy (who isnt?), or robin isnt that attractive, you should mash up with robin.
look, john, you dont know michael that well...this is survival! darwin would be proud of you, so sink your big fuckin fangs into that beautiful baby rabbit

disclaimer: before you paranoid-delusional and sleuthy types try to "figure out" who i am talking about, this is completely hypothetical. i used names to avoid vague pronoun usage. if youre not satisfied with that, good luck unwrapping the mystery
