How To Tell

[Iybee Pimpin]

Anybody know a special way you can tell if a girl has a boyfriend, without asking her directly?

I've been listening to some David DeAngelo and I agree with what he has to say. Basically, it's not good to ask a girl if she has a boyfriend when you first meet her, because she gets all these implications in her head. What you should try asking is "Are you single?" since it kinda throws them off guard and is a lot simpler than "Do you have a boyfriend?" If they are available they will say yes, they are single, and that doesn't stir up other ideas if she's currently dating someone else, but not with him.

I think it's a pretty sound idea.

I agree with NRM. Asking "Are you single?" also implies you are the selector.

I find a good way is to get talking about her life. Women like doing this anyway. I usually say something like 'so do you share a flat, or have you taken the plunge and bought your own place?'

A taken woman will usually take this opportunity to show off her status by saying something like 'I've just bought a place with my boyfriend/husband' or 'I rent a place with my boyfriend' etc.

You can also do this by asking about recent holidays she's been on.

If you get something like 'I live alone' then you need to dig deeper. Eventually, you may need to just clarify by saying something c&f like 'so are you on the shelf then?' or 'Mr Right hasn't turned up yet?' or similar.
