I know this has probaly been beat to death on here, but whats a good comeback when she says that?
"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"
You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.
For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.
Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.
The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.
What to say when the chic says she's got a boyfriend?

"I'm Not Looking for Anything Serious Right Now"
When a woman says it, guys hear a confession. A heads-up. A scheduling conflict.
Here's the translation: I don't feel anything. Right now. With you.
Watch what happens when a man triggers actual attraction. The busy career, the recent breakup, the "not in a place to date" — all of it evaporates instantly. The same woman who was guarding her freedom is suddenly free every night.
The "22 Rules" explain why. When the right switches flip, her timeline rearranges itself around you.

I just say: "Can't you have male friends?"

I would just ignore or say "cool".
If you really want a comeback, "me too, he's just super"
But search, there's a ton of stuff on here and out on the interwebs.

"She's Out of Your League"
You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.
Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.
She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.
Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.

There is an old school rap song, I don't remember the name since rap is not really my thing....but, you could say using lyrics from song,"What does your man have to do with me?" Or even better: I am not trying to date your boyfriend....I understand he has a lady friend, but I am trying to date you.

I would typically respect her wishes and back off.
But if she's giving you other buying signals (most AFCs don't really understand what these are) then just keep smiling and tell her to put your drinks on his credit card.

nice meeting you...good bye
seriously - she isn't attracted to you. You can spend uptine hours trying to get her to like you but why not just go meet someone else who is instantly attracted to you and WANTS to make things work vs. someone that doesn't?
If you are hearing this ALL THE TIME, it's probably because you are doing something wrong. Possibly showing too much interest too soon (without screening her, getting to know her)

I'd say " no worries - bye" .. There are plenty of beautiful single girls out there. Most of them have guy friends or are dating. But if she tells you she got a boyfriend then she's serious about him and that is a force field that's not easily broken. Wasted efforts.... look for single girls.

In my earlier post I stated Im not used to them telling me that. Not hearing it all the time.yuppaz said:
"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."
Attraction runs on a clock.
She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.
The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."
One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.
Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.
Had something like this happen at Starbucks over the weekend. I was getting some work done and this girl starts openly hitting on me out of the blue.
We hit it off pretty well for the most part, and as soon as she realized the next step was to exchange numbers she stood up, called her BF on her cell, and walked off with a "hi honey" like the conversation with me never happened.
Indifference is always a good approach when they throw stuff like this at you.

If the chic legitimately has a boyfriend then you shouldn't be going there any ways.
If the chic is lying about having a boyfriend just so you don't continute hitting on her then whats the point? Move on to some other chic who isn't trying to shut you down before you get started.

did you get the memo about how all hot girls have boyfriends... when they don't like the guy.
If she wants you, that sentence never comes out. Seriously, and if you play it well enough, you get to say "well, I have a girlfriend, whats the big deal?" If she somehow mentions it while you are making out/fvcking/whatever.
There was a while where the only girls I seemed to get were hot chics with boyfriends who wanted something different. For males, having high status/looks/money is a license to cheat. For women, being hot generally is a license to cheat. But she will normally only cheat if the guy is hotter than her bf.

Agreed, although I wouldn't write her off immediately. She might utter that phrase because she is unsure of you.
My two comeback sre:
"Cool. Now you can have two!" With perhaps a "this is your lucky day" added on, depending on the woman.
The other is:
"Really? Is he going to marry you?" I like acw's answer, along the same lines. If she is just sh!t testing you'll know whether to pursue of cut bait at this point.
