Ask her straight out? Ask one of her friends? Hope that the topic comes up in conversation? I've been in situations before where a girl has given several IOIs only to find out later that she has a boyfriend. Having a foolproof way to get that information out early would be very helpful.

Normally a woman will tell you in advance that she has a boyfriend and if she doesn't then there is a chance she is testing the waters to move on to something else.

Besides this, I can officially tell you that I've never had anyone ask me something like this before. My gut instinct tells me to just go forward and if she does so be it (so long as I'm not forking out cash at the bar buying drinks), and if not then I'm taking her home.

I still feel like there has to be a better way to find out. My experience has often been that girls with boyfriends will talk for a while and give several IOIs, but then back off at the last minute after you've wasted your time with them when you should have been moving on to other targets. From what I've read you should NOT be wasting your time on a target who has a boyfriend, so wouldn't it be best to find out as soon as possible? What about mentioning someone who's important to you, like a best friend, and then asking her if she knows someone like that or has someone like that in her life?

Why bother asking? Whether or not she has a boyfriend doesn't matter and shouldn't affect how you game her. Even if she has a boyfriend, he could be a chump and she might be on the verge of dumping him. She might have just met the guy, and is willing to trade up to someone more interesting or attractive. Or maybe the boyfriend doesn't give her what she wants and she has a wandering eye. Just because she "has a boyfriend" doesn't mean she's off limits.

Always assume the girl is single, and even if she says "I have a boyfriend" it could just be a shit test. Remove yourself as a potential suitor when you meet her, then be so excellent she craves you. And if you don't give a shit about the outcome, then you've lost nothing. If she likes you and still remains faithful to the boyfriend, at least you've found a pawn to open your next set. "OK so you have a boyfriend - Fine. Come with me and let's go meet people..."

I wud usually just make the assumption that she already does and shit test her.
ie: "ur lookin pretty today, ur boyfriend must be takin u out sumwherre special huh?

" how was ur weekend?"
her: it was ok I did this & that, or it sucked I didn't do anything
pua: oh sounds like fun, u must have a fun boyfriend or that sucks, how come u didn't go out with ur boyfriend

whole point is to shit test her about the bf. If she immediatly denies havin one, dats a Gud ioi. If she brushes it off and pays it no mind, another ioi
but if she acknowledges dat she does have a bf but is still showin ioi's then she lettin it b known, but is prob one of those either testin waters or likes to cheat. Keep gamin it and see where it goes. As a single man bein Into pua, u shud always wrk on more than one target at a time. Gudluck and lemme kno how it goes

When she says something witty or hits you below the belt just reply with the assumption that she has a bf...

"how does your boyfriend deal with you" , "you`re high maintenance, how does your bf keep up" , etc..

That's usually how I go about it. I'm in college so most of my pickup is done at parties or bars/nightclubs. If she is obviously flirting with me, I'll look around the room and then say, "I don't think your boyfriend would appreciate you flirting with me like this" with a cheeky smirk or laugh.

Do the lie game and build up to (say question 2 or 3) so have you had sex in the last week or even just are you single etc.

Then you are distracting her with Q4 and Q5 anyway so it won't feel awkward if you are quick.

ps this is just a theory I thought up and am itching to try it out in the field.

If you try it tell me how it works out.

Do the same as girls do... a shit test, below the radar...

"oh, and your bf agrees with that? cant believe.."

or

"wow! you are baadd! I dont know who is your boyfriend, but i can tell one thing. He is not spanking you enough "...

Think of something like that... Best is when is below the radar and when you dont ask her directly ...

Yeah, just say something that assumes she has a boyfriend. My favorite is, when she does something cute, funny, nice etc. to say "you know, you're boyfriend's a lucky guy."

When you get her number, there's nothing wrong in asking "by the way, are you single?".

If she says yes, just say "I understand, and proceed with the game anyway". If she says no, well it doesn't matter then.

Dont even ask, Why? because you dont give a shit. Continue to do what you do best.

Thats my additude towards that, and works great for ME.
