My teacher set us up with partners to work on a final project in class today. My partner was very flirtatious with me, was touching me a lot, and laughing at just about anything I said right from the get-go. Then, at one point she casually mentioned her “boyfriend” which made me wonder:

1. Why is she being so flirtatious with me if she has a boyfriend?
2. If she likes me, why would she even mention the boyfriend?

Anyway, I was going to suggest a happy hour after class but she mentioned that she had to work. Due to that and the boyfriend comment, I decided not to make a move. However, I have since changed my mind but my only option now is e-mail because today was our last class. Any advice on what I should say in my e-mail to her and how to handle the, “I have a boyfriend” response that I am anticipating? Thanks.

ignore the fact that she has a boyfriend. Proceed as normal.
If she's giving you ioi's your golden. If this is college though you should look into 'social circle game' you definitely don't want to get a reputation on campus as the relationship ruiner.

girls cheat all the time, sometimes the guy they're with isn't providing the excitement they are looking for, and that's completely fine.

Good stuff. To clarify, I just completed my final class of graduate school today and live off campus so I'm not concerned about reputation. I'm new to pick up and am still wondering why she would even mention the boyfriend. Just curious cause it's not the first time this has happened.

I agree with that your saying. But there are girls out there that are flirtatious by nature. So this girl may not be actually interested even tho she is being flirty. I mean earlier tonight I had a girl asking for donations for some non-profit group and she was being flirty with me. Does that mean she was into me? No. I think it be wise to do some push and pulling to see if she girl is actually interested or not. In other words test the waters some before proceeding as this girl may also just be a tease as well.

Yeah, I think she is just flirtatious by nature but it's all the touching and laughing at everything I say which has me thinking she likes me. Worth a shot regardless.

This newb isn't really familiar with push pull and I already emailed her. I said, "Let’s go out sometime. I’m busy tonight but could see you tomorrow night. Let me know what your schedule is like." And I made a little flirtatous comment related to the project we were working on in class.

If she writes back saying she has a boyfriend, I'll just be like, "cute, so what's your schedule like." If I get a 2nd bf objection, I'll follow the steps outlined in the link. We'll see what happens.

Never ask what a girl's schedule is like. Doing so lets her know she has the upper hand big time as it says you are willing to adjust to her. You also allow her to control things. So instead of asking what her schedule is like, set a time, place and date to meet.
