D. Shove Alka-Seltzer up their nose and let the Alka-Sletzer/snot mix foam down the back of their throat and drown them. Plug their nose to keep it from coming out that way.
I've never understood the "fighting over lovers" thing--it seems damned condescending and insulting to the person being fought over, as if they were merely property to be distributed to the winner of a contest.
Either you can trust your significant other, or you can't. If you can, you've nothing to fear from admirers. If you can't, then running over the admirer will do no good whatsoever.
--Satan, quoted by John Milton
Don't you trust your mate?
If the person is actively trying to muscle in, I take that very badly. I don't even like people joking about it. I've made this argument in the past...I know Lyinar is extremely desirable as a mate. I know she's smart and witty and intelligent and kind and caring and gentle and has a great sense of humor. I know she's beautiful and I'm lucky to have her...
...but I also remember a time in the past before either of us came to EC that there were guys who also liked her and had no respect for the fact she and I were in a relationship. People who don't respect that someone's in a relationship should have their innards exposed to the open air, lit on fire, and then let a doggy take a dump in their body cavity. Shit you don't have to like me...but damn it you will respect my relationship or I will take my fury out on you.
That, by the way, is why I used to get pissed at Mortious, Arttemis, etc. People didn't know when to knock it off. Which brings up my solution:
Set up some rules...
1. If You're uncomfortable with someone sniffing around you SO, you have the right to tell the SO and have a conversation. If they get pissy, then chances are they're not taking your concerns seriously.
2. Them talking to the person with a crush is fine, but if it ever goes beyond that...that's it. Take it from me, it's better to disconnect than it is to get dragged through hell. And if you find out they've been doing that sort of thing behind your back, confront the person and settle it.
3. Talk to the person with a crush. Make it known to them what your take on the rules of etiquette are. If they say "you can't make me not hit on him/her" then go to your SO and explain this person's intent and what they said. If your SO is true, they'll take it seriously enough to realize that it truly bothers you.
4. Don't get paranoid. Keep your eyes and ears open, but don't go insane looking for trouble. If you've degenerated to this point, you're killing your love and turning it into something dangerously possessive.
5. Find someone you can talk to. Don't just dump your troubles on them, but broach the topic and if they're okay with you talking to them, talk to them. And don't turn it into "I'm getting my peeps in on this". You want honest opinions, not mob mentality "Us against Them" crap.

If all that fails, take several oranges, wrap them in a bath towel and pummel the offending party. Beats the bejesus out of them and leaves no incriminating bruises.

Yeah... even though using billiard balls might get the point across more eloquently...
If (s)he does start fooling around with someother person, then it would be over for me. I dont feel that i should have to fight someone to keep the other, if it is love.
I mean lets stay in the context of the post...it sounds like...at least to me....that this is concern over a person having a crush on the SO. Not that the SO and the this "other" person are actively flirting back and forth. If the SO is unaware of the crush then I would suggest clueing in the SO to the crush and let them defuse it. Like it has been mentioned before if you trust your mate you have no concern over what they will do, it is more on how is the other person gonna react, espcially if it happens to be a friend of both you and the SO.
Well I hope that makes sense. 
However, things being what they are, the trust aspect is the big thing. Check if your SO does know (sorry, sometimes we men can be really dense) and trust that he'll handle it properly. If he does you know that you have nothing to worry about and if he doesn't, well... you probally would have had other issues down the line anyway....
If 'No Revenge' isn't an option just remember Rule #2 'Don't get caught.'
My personal favorite (for a woman) walk up to her, cock one eyebrow, look her up and down, smile smugly while shaking your head sadly, shrug and walk away.
Silly boys don't understand that in fem society, she who starts with the violence has already lost the fight... so this will be seen as cold, and possibly cruel, but no one is going to haul you up in front of anyone for smiling...
