Ok, so yeah, there's this uber-hot chick that i really dig that may or may not have a boyfriend... are there any good ways to nose out whether or not she has a boyfriend in conversation? Chances are both of us will be trashed in said conversation...

"So, what kind of stuff is your boyfriend into?"

That will give you the answer.

"what would your boyfriend think of us hanging out"

"Are you single?"

(Wow, that was hard.)

Most effective way...

Do you have a boyfriend or girlfriend?

any way you do it is going to be totally transparent. just show your braveness and ask her outright. don't be a pansy about it.

or you could get her to tell you about her life and see if "my boyfriend" comes up in any replies.

find her myspace, live journal, xanga. anything for a clue.

Myspace/facebook.

"do you wanna / grab a coffee / have dinner with me / go out sometime?"

That'll tell you...

Yes.

That'll tell you...

grab coffee? Sure (As a friend)

have dinner? Sure (As a friend)

go out sometime? I'm with someone

I don't think the first two options will nescessarily tell you what you are wanting to know.

No shit, people need to be less moronic.

QFT

Fuck it, make a joke of it.

"So I'm about to start hitting on you, except I'm not sure if I'd be stepping on anyones toes."

This does three things:

you come across as having at least some kind of sense of humour,

you find out if she's single,

you essentially got permission to hit on her.

Damn, I should use that one.

Exactly!!!!

So like I said, just ask her if she's seeing anyone. Being direct shows confidence and a desire to not waste time. This is the way to go.

"Do you and your boyfriend wanna have a threesome with me being the third guy?"

If you're this paranoid about if she has a boyfriend I don't think you'd make any moves if she was single. I've been there...

Yeah, if she has one and doesn't mention him, might as well be single.

Here's the best and most simple answer JUST FUCKING ASK HER you MORON.
