How to find out if a girl has a boyfriend?

All kidding aside, I'm actually a little surprised that these girls had stealth boyfriends. In my own experience, I've found the "two minute rule" seems to apply: Any girl who is seriously dating will mention it within two minutes, whether it has to do with the conversation or not. It's almost like they want to use their status as a shield or something...and it's led to some funny non-sequiturs.
When I first met the last girl I went out with, I was sitting down talking to her, introducing myself (it was at work), and after five minutes I said, "Oh, so you're single then". She said, "Err, yes, how did you know?" and I said, "Because you didn't mention your boyfriend within the first few minutes of this conversation like all women do when they've got one."

It is true.
 
YES.

Girls who, even though it's CLEAR AS DAY you're hitting on them, don't mention that they have a boyfriend are bad enough.

But girls who can't get through a damned SENTENCE without mentioning their boyfriends? Those are even worse.

"Oh really? My boyfriend loves video games."
"Wow! My boyfriend has that same shirt!"
"Holy shit are you breathing air? My BOYFRIEND breathes air too! It oxygenates his cells!"

Yeah, that shit is criminal, especially if you're obviously hitting on them OVER TIME.

Girls: it's OKAY to tell a guy who's interested in you you have a boyfriend! It's WAY preferable to him finding out, on his own, accidentally, a few weeks later. :p

You ask her? Why beat around the bush? Also, you should be able to tell if she's liable to reciprocate. It's not difficult to gauge a girl's interest.

"So, if you're free this weekend, I was wondering if you wanted to chill with my friends at this party."

or

"Want to roll with me to this club on Saturday? I heard it's pretty good."

or

"If you're not doing anything over the weekend, call me up. I'm down for whatever. Here's my # xxx.xxxx."

That's how you do it. Basically, if a girl is into you, she'll respond ACCORDINGLY. If she isn't, take the loss and move on.

Girls's aren't as complicated as we them out to be.
 
I dunno, I'd much rather some girl I barely know mention her boyfriend to save any future awkwardness than having a girl flirt it up with you and then slap you in the face with it.

If a girl is flirting with you -- and it's genuine flirtation -- you're in there. That she has a boyfriend is irrelevant. But it's good to be able to differentiate between flirtation and congeniality. Many females are nice -- but that does not mean they have any untoward intentions. However, there are plenty of females who will cheat on their significant others. You have to have a knack for reading the situation. Once you catch a read, and she's game, you're in there.

I move quick on chicks, usually find out in the bar that they have a boyfriend or are gay, and then pretsto! I'm already in a bar where I can get shitty to drown my sorrows. It's what we call a "win-win".

A man after my own heart.

I for one would like to know the difference.

Difference between what? Flirtation and someone being nice? Ok, when you next have a chance, compliment the object of your affection.

"You look nice"

"Someone's looking cute"

Regardless of how she feels about you, she will take it well because females love to be complimented.

However, if she is digging you, you will certainly notice a change in her behavior once you've expressed in that roundabout way that you find her attractive.

Got sushi with some friends tonight. A friend of a friend who I hadn't seen in a few years joined us. She was with her (new) boyfriend, but I still managed to convince myself that she wanted me. We were sitting next to each other and a few times her leg grazed mine, so I couldn't fucking help but think that she was doing it on purpose. With her boyfriend on the other side of her, mind you. And she would offer me different plates that I could just as easily take from myself. Well, this OBVIOUSLY meant that she wanted to get in my pants. Right, guys??

I'm generally afraid to take the risk of asking a girl out for fear of rejection, but I'm simultaneously thinking that every Earthly woman is completely enamoured with me. It's the weirdest fucking complex. :lol

How did you ask your classmate, exactly?
Well, I haven't. This is a recent development, and she's been mysteriously absent for two weeks now (four classes). Maybe she'll be there tomorrow.

I will ask her if she's there. :)

I will not chicken out. I WILL NOT CHICKEN OUT.

I will not chicken out.

On an unrelated note, my Shakespeare proffesor was talking about equivication, and she brought up an example, saying, and I quote:

"Thirteen year old girls do anal and oral, saying it's not sex."


Let's talk about this more instead. Because I heard something similar from a girl of said age too - though she may have been boasting - is this fo real?

What if the girl is wearing a ring (something that appears to be an engagement ring)? Should I just assume she's off the market? I don't know too many girls that wear those kinds of rings just to be wearing them but I really want to believe otherwise.

Some stupid single girls nowadays wear rings on their left ringfinger. It's annoying as hell.

I would say don't bother if it's a gold band or there's a diamond attached to the ring. Otherwise, maybe it's worth the chance.

Hell, I say have a crack. Never assume anything.

If you don’t, then your not getting laid.

If you have a crack and she says “no” (because of boyfriend/engagement/whatever), you're in exactly the same position as where you started, no worse off. You're still not getting laid.

BUT, maybe, just maybe, she might say “yes”. So what have you got to lose?

I find the best way to find the answer is to assume she has a boyfriend and place it in some comment.

For example... there was this girl I was interested in a few months ago. She had said how great I looked one day and I was like, "Keep it up and I'll tell your boyfriend!" To which she replied, "I don't even have a boyfriend!"

Jackpot.

I've applied similiar methods to various women with a good amount of success.
Yep, that's what to do.

I just look deep into a woman's eyes and they'll tell me if she's interested or not. Far more important than whether or not she has a boyfriend.

So Ninja, do you always ask your friends to ask women stuff on your behalf? Most guys I know quit that shit in primary school.

And no thank you ;)

Re-quoted for truth and accuracy. I managed to try talking to a girl on the tail end of a four-year relationship which was made obvious by her incessant namedropping in every other sentence. She proceeds to break up with him, I miss my window, she acquires a new boy, and behold! More name dropping. Hell, I think his name took the place of the subject, verb, and direct object simultaneously in a single sentence.

The real question is, how do you make a girl realize her current boyfriend situation is fundamentally flawed, and won't last long, so it's best to just cut ties and come with me now? I mean, you could tell from the start, the ones that will last and the ones that'll end over a massive argument in the next few months. But instead they ride the rollercoaster while you sit in boredom waiting for the whole thing to be over.

As far as boyfriend thing goes, it's pretty easy. Unless you're from a complete outside the box approach, it's easy to make friends, and casually bring up boyfriends and such. Not to mention I talk to girls Im not even interested in about their bf's. No suspicion. Like one girl who had a Sleepless in Seattle like relationship with a guy, met him and did a bunch of stuff with him, before realizing he was an ass. All the while she had a bf. So I tease her about how many bf's she's seen this weekend, and which one she took to prom. It's all about how casual or akward you bring up the question. Admittedly it is hard though, if you really care about a potential relationship, or girl. You just can't pull the bunny out of the hat at a time like that. It's hard to bring your best game to a girl you really like. But you should be able to manage as long as you remain calm and casual.

I just normally find out by asking them out as well. I just hate it when girls flirt and lead you on when there is a boyfriend.

i have never asked a girl if they had a boyfriend in my life... whenever I meet a girl, we more or less chill like friends for a bit, phone convos and all, it usually comes out in the first two convos, then we hang out once or twice, then we play the games, wrestle/touchy stuff, then we smash. If she has a man, she asks if we can be freinds with benefits and I say yes, end of story.

Attention all: She's not Greekboy. Let's put that to rest, shall we?

I wasn't making a legit accusation. I was more harrassing her for bumping a SIX month old-thread :p

Oh, I see.
But hey, you have to admit it was much more interesting than it was the last time, so I did a good thing.

I suggest sticking your dick in her ear and see what reaction you get. You're home free if she starts slobbing you off.

I just wrote that for an old thread? Fucken christ.
