d0nnivain Posted November 23, 2013 Share Posted November 23, 2013 Obviously if she is wearing a wedding ring, don't ask. Before you ask you can make some sort of a statement that will get you the info you want. That's a nice ______ {top, bracelet, cell phone}. Did your BF get it for you? She will either say yes in which case you don't ask or she'll say something else to let you know that she is or isn't interested in having you ask her out. Otherwise you can just ask cold but be very gracious if she says that she has a BF. Ooops. I didn't know. Sorry. He's a lucky man. Link to post Share on other sites
MissBee Posted November 23, 2013 Share Posted November 23, 2013 You can just ask if she's single or not...and then based on the answer, you ask her out. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

That's a nice ______ {top, bracelet, cell phone}. Did your BF get it for you? hahah really buddy?? I think that's so awkward!! I get it sometimes "does your girlfriend xyz" Makes me cringe a little! The worst one being a girl coming saying to me once when I was working saying"hiya" "hey" "So what's your girlfriend do for a living" ...ahh I find that so much more awkward than if she'd just said "are you single?" We both knew she clearly didn't care less what my gf does for a living! I just ask her out anyway, its up to her to tell you shes got a boyfriend Link to post Share on other sites
Kofybean Posted November 24, 2013 Share Posted November 24, 2013 How do you handle this? Just ask her out regardless? Rule of thumb is "it doesn't matter. " she will say she has a boyfriend if at some point in time she decides she doesn't like you. The "I have a bf" phrase is a catch all phrase that means the same thing whether true or not. Therefore if she doesn't say it after asking her out then it really doesn't matter. Link to post Share on other sites
carhill Posted November 24, 2013 Share Posted November 24, 2013 How do you handle this? Just ask her out regardless? Dealt with this a lot and got burnt a few times. The trick I learned was to invest less in the process of asking women out on dates and to not be surprised if/when boyfriends or husbands appeared out of thin air, and simply make like a hole in the water in response. Caring less and investing less defeated much of the downside risks of this issue. So, yes, ask her out and, if the answer is yes, enjoy the interactions for the moment without investing any emotions in the outcome. The future is always an unknown. Live in the now. Good luck.
