Would you consider this cheating?

She was waiting to finish with her ex before committing to you.

You could say that you were waiting for her to finish with her ex before committing to her, too.

What's the problem?

It's sort of in a grey area when it comes to whether it is cheating or not.

It is, however, a major dick-move. In my opinion, that is.

Edit: Additionally, I am very disappointed in all the escapists here who thinks this guy did the right thing. I thought we had a little more class than this, guys. Did you root for Makoto in School days as well?

Edit: That might have come off as a bit too agressive. I didn't mean to say the OP is like Makoto, but I am saying that what he did (as I see it from the post) could be something Makoto would have done.

Edit: Of course, it could be that I am gravely misunderstanding the nature of the situation. I do not know the details, after all.

Edit: I guess what I can't understand is how the OP expects her to still be intersted in him, when he has just shown that she means nothing to him.

I?m not even sure it?s a dick move. Well it is a dick move in her eyes but I?m not sure either of you got across your intentions very well.

According to the rules, it's not cheating. However, the rules also state that she is allowed to get pissed off at anything you do and be right about it. You have no say in the matter, you are wrong...

...I see in article 7 on page 79 you may either give up or perform the forgiveness ritual where you hop, rub your head, pat your head followed by licking Marmite from you nasal... this must all be done butt naked.

Seriously though, just go apologise and make her feel better. She's probably crushed that you did this, whether it's cheating or not.

It sounds like she cared about you, but justed wanted some time to sort out her life and then you abandoned her to be with some other girl.

It may not be "cheating" in the technical sense, but it still sounds like you pulled a dick move.

Not officially. This is more what we call a dick move.

You clicked so if you were a decent man you'd wait for her to come around and dive into your waiting arms.
In game terms:

Half-Life 2: Episode 3 gets a release date for october this year. Then it gets pushed back to January next year. That doesn't mean you dive on Lacklustre Shooter 2: Storyless Edition in the mean time. You wait in eager anticipation.

Not cheating as you're not official, but it was an idiot mood knowing you two could well of become an item. Kinda fucks up trust for the future things.

I think it was cheating, but that's just me. I take stuff like that very serious.

Forget semantics, why would you go off with someone else if you were interested in her?
Thanks, this exactly.

Not cheating, and I do have declare you a "PLAYAAA!".

HOWEVER, if she only gave a temporary "no" on the basis that you'd be together soon then it was a bit of a dick move, and it undermines you asking her out in the first place.

Still, player.

I guess it's not 'technically' cheating (whatever that means - have we devised a standard, really?) but I understand she feels upset.

First girl said no. Second girl said yes. I see no problems.

Now, if you were planning on just checking out what the second girl was like, before heading back to the first after she had "Finished things", that's a different story. But you didn't really imply that, so I'll stick with my "It's ok" line.

I've never understood why it's expected of good people to pine after lost relationships for a certain amount of time before continuing on- what, so you were supposed to wait until she was certain she'd never get back with her ex, so she can pick you up afterwards? Fuck that. I don't even know you, and I know you deserve better than that.

Whether it was cheating or not it was a major dick move.

You can't have been that interested in either of those women if you're just going to run straight down the road and pick up your backup girlfriend the second one rejects you.

Are you dating because you really like them or are you just picking some boob out of a catalog?

The way I look at it, "playa" is an insult in the same way "slut" is towards a girl.

"Playa", in my mind, is another word for asshole.

That's nice.

You can have girls who are players and not sluts/slags though.

I'm not saying they are completely synonomous.

As far as I'm concerned a player is someone who routinely hurts girls' feelings; and for that I can not respect them.

Well honestly it sounds like because you got blown off by one girl you just jumped on the next one. It may not be cheating, but it makes you look like a shameless dog that'll just go for the next girl, and the next, until she's available.
So no, maybe not cheating. But yeah, you should be slapping yourself in the head. Just because you "weren't official" isn't an excuse, especially if you were actually into her and she realized this.

So in my opinion, you owe her a major apology.
Yeah that's exactly what I thought as well.
