How does everyone feel about being the guy who continues to pursue a girl even after finding out she's dating someone?

I met this girl recently who I am very interested in. The only problem is that she might already be dating someone. Now the old me would have just let her go at the instant I knew she was involved, but recently I've been thinking that all the wonderful, funny, smart, and gorgeous girls out there are most likely already dating someone, and that if I let them go just because they are involved that I'll never get my chance with them. Plus I don't meet women I really am into too often (I'm picky). So when one does come around, I don't want to let her go too easily.

It's not liek I want to be labled a bad guy for trying to steal a girl away from her boyfriend, but I figure that I'm a pretty good guy. I have good qualities I think I'm attractive, caring witty, talented, chivalrious, etc... I might just be a better guy than the one she's currently with, and if I keep up my pursuit maybe she will think so as well, and in the end we will both be happier. I'm just really torn about going ahead and doing that, because I know it means I'd really have to put myself out there and possibly get hurt in a big way. I've also have had a guy swoop in and grab an ex before, and it really hurt me badly. So it makes me wonder if being that guy is a good or bad thing. What are your thoughts people?
