The topic about married women got me thinking about this. The "somewhat taken" woman can also be treacherous and pose a threat. This is not about the legions of beta orbiters any semi-attractive woman has on facebook either. It's usually a guy they dated at one point but never fully let go of, or he never let go of her and she allowed him to stay in her life.
Divorced (even separated) married women in my opinion are the only women who have actually moved on from their exes.
The guy who is still in the background isn't always the father of their child/children either.
A LOT of women doing online dating fall into this "somewhat taken" category I've noticed.
The last 2 for me. Well, this was totally taken. One of them I found her facebook on my dummy account since she has a rare name. Engaged. Never even bothered to meet her like we had planned. I actually made up a story and told her I was encountering a lot of that. She didn't reply.
Second one, met her at Panera in a busy strip mall. Suspected she was somewhat taken but didn't know the extent of it. We had talked on the phone already and decided we should meet in person. During the date, she did mention him a few times, and that he works for Fedex and this is on his route. Apparently he is crazy and has abused her in the past. Then she tells me he's still obsessed with her (this is when I knew she was "one of those" but didn't think much of it at the moment. I notice someone is texting her but she ignores it. Then, we're talking in the parking lot a few minutes after just having lunch because she wants a cigarette, and I'm working on the next date. Next thing I know...there's a Fedex truck in the parking lot not very far away and her phone is ringing. She tells me to leave, that he "saw her with another guy" and he's gonna find out who I am and that he's waiting for me to leave. She tells me I have to go right now and looks worried, gets in her car. I get in my car and start driving like Ryan Gosling, didn't even say bye. It was one of those parking lots that only has one exit as well. He tries catching up to me but the traffic prevented him from being able to.
I know I could have confronted him, and this may have all been intentional on her end. I could have met her anywhere else and she knew that.
The point is, a "somewhat taken" women can pose the same threat as married women. POF has a lot of these as well.
Any similar stories, feel free to share.
