The question text was not published separately; the title stands in for it.

I really am in love with this man and he has feelings for me i think, but he is engaged to someone else. is there a dua i can read so that I can marry him? i did istakharra and it came out well.

Answer

You state that you think the man in reference has feeling for you, why then did he not get engaged to you?

Nevertheless, if he gets married, he can still marry you and you can be his second wife. Would you be content with this? Would the first wife be content with this? If you are happy and content, then apart from making Du?aa, you may adopt means and propose to the man to get married to her. You may measure your thinking of his love for you through his response.

and Allah Ta'ala Knows Best
