Or you could just not even acknowledge she said this.
Correct.
If she says it early on in the conversation, then it means "back off" e.g. if you went in indirectly, you telegraphed too much interest too early. Remember to open over the shoulder, casually, and keep your body language pointed away from the set, turning in as you progress the interaction.
The solution to this is to ignore it. Just don't say anything. Continue by changing the subject, telling a DHV story, doing a cold read, or whatever.
If she mentions a boyfriend later on in a conversation in a "in passing" kind of way, chances are she actually does. Guess what? First time, just ignore it. Continue gaming. If she puts up legitimate resistance to kino escalating past sexual, n-closing, etc. then keep playing-push pull and remain unreactive. If you are honestly getting IOIs, she's clearly into you, but it seems like she's REALLY honestly been going out with a guy for a year and a half (remember how you're supposed to befriend the obstacle(s)? A good opportunity to get the inside scoop subtly without bringing it up with your target) then for fucks sake, exchange contact info and FRIENDZONE HER.
Remember, guys get LJBFed most often because they remain in rapport too long and never show they are man enough to sexually escalate. They look like pussies to the girl and therefore unattractive.
If you've been gaming this girl, there's mutual attraction, and you've sexually escalated correctly, but there's honestly a boyfriend in the way, you're better off staying friends with her (the kind of friend who is flirty and sexual as well as funny and interesting), going to her parties, gaming her friends, and then when she breaks up with that BF, she's fair game!
