An obvious IOI, but how should this be answered, without looking like an AFC?

"Im picky about who I date."

depends on how much you're already flirting and the environment.

You could say something serious like "I'm really picky" or something a bit funnier like "No one's good enough for me."

Or just tell the truth whatever that is.

Girls love saying/hearing/believing shit like "I'm just really enjoying being single right now, and if something happens it does, but I'm not really searching."

or

"I'm just really focused on my work/studies/star trek fan fiction, I don't have time for a girlfriend."

"I have 4 girlfriends"

The way I've answered is:

Her: "why don't you have a girlfriend?"

Me: " Cause I've been waiting all my life for you...oh my god, I'm in love. You complete me. Let's get heart-shaped necklaces and declare our love to the four winds..." (I made it sound really cheesy)

Her: "No really, why don't you? Stop playing."

Me: "why don't YOU have a girlfriend?"

Her; "blah blah, I'm not a lesbian...blah blah tell me"

Me: "do you like sushi? I'm really craving some right now"

Her: "you just changed the topic!"

Me: "oh, are we still talking about that?..." (Changed topic again)

I usually just dismiss this kind of questions. I feel they're shit tests, so I don't play into it. If they really push for an answer I just say something;

"I just don't jump into relationships just because. I need to be physically, mentally, and emotionally interested in someone to consider the possibility of a serious commitment...." And keep going with something meaningful and maybe try to make her qualify herself.

My 2 cents

I love what you did there Bansario. You make fun of cheesyness showing youre above that type of guy, then you make the girl invest in you by answering your question, then you change topic so you're becoming mysterious and hard to catch in a very natural way, which raises the interest of the girl. When I act like that is when I have boosts of natural alpha-ism, and I dont even make an effort of thinking of it all up. I wish I was able to act like that all the time, not just once in a while.

Let go of your ego. . . and have no fear (of that silly afc crap . . .)

By the time a girl asks you this question, she's already attracted to you. You've already held hands and touched and triggered some sexual interest. You've already shown her some qualities . . . so why ruin the fun with all the verbal self promotional bullshit?

Start with: "Well, it's probably because I'm not very good with women."

You either get, "Get outta here!" or a high eyebrow.

Then not in any particular order, things like:

"Maybe it's because I'm pretty conservative. You know, chocolates and flowers, that type of thing. Bad move? I've heard assholes get the girls but don't believe it." - while you're rubbing her thigh.

"You think it could be because I don't have sex on first dates? What's wrong with waiting until the 3rd date? Then you know . . . whatever she wants. . . toys, handcuffs, anal . . . but come on baby, I'm conservative! 1st date . . . all we're doing is making out like a pair of high school kids." - Where's your hand?

"So should I or should I not ask a girl's dad for permission to date her?" - with your hand around her waist, looking puzzled.

And I even like
But right when she's about to roll her eyes you go, "They just don't know it yet . . ."

Then for the:

Know-It-All Love Advisers: Follow and exaggerate their advice. They'll eventually advise you to fuck them.

Hysterical Laughters: Immediately drop the jokes and go sexual. Shift her heightened emotions toward sexual energy.

Girls who think they're playing a round of Bullshit and call "BS" with a poker face: Jeeze, how did you expect me to answer that question? I just don't have a . . . wait a second . . . did my ex-wife send you?"

Can't think of other reactions . . .

Generally, avoid the urge to self promote yourself like some used car salesman: "I'm Picky! I buy only the finest pre-owned cars in all of Ohio!" Avoid serious chats: Yes, girls looking for boyfriends want someone sincere and committed but why lecture her your relationship agreement contract when you're given an opportunity to flirt?
