I always hear this is a bad question to ask why? I think its pretty straight to the point after chatting for like a minute. anyone here test it out

try going direct and making it very clear that youre attracted to her.

if she has a boyfriend shell tell you soon enough.

if you still want to find out try asking her " is there any reason why i shouldnt be hitting on you ?". try whispering it in her ear when youve isolated. usually works for me.

also on a side note try not to concern yourself with her relationship status. if she doesnt bring it up she either doesnt have a boyfriend or doesnt care about him at which point its not your problem.

That's the problem, it is straight to the point. the point a girl thinks isn't "he is interested in dating me," but rather "he is trying to fuck me tonight." Now you look like a tool, especially because the stereotypical AFC will ask and then walk away if she says that she does, indeed, have a boyfriend.

What I like to say, and sometimes even open with it, is "you're boyfriend is lucky as hell." A girl cannot take that badly without looking like a complete bitch to everyone nearby. At worst it is just a complement on her looks. If she just says thanks, I can keep talking to her but remember that she has a boyfriend or wants me to think so. It also is very good at getting women to reveal when they are single. That's cool too.
