Girls, would you say you have a boyfriend even when you don't if you are not attracted to the guy asking?

I've done the opposite. I told the guy I really like that I have a boyfriend, of the fear being hurt because I didn't want him to mess with my feelings. But usually it's just me silly sometime. I know most girls younger than 20's would say they have a boyfriend or make a lame excuse to hint the guy she's not interested. However, I come across the point and tell him honestly I'm not interested. I don't like games and I think people shouldn't lie. But yes I've done this recently too, because the guy just couldn't stop with telling me how he likes me etc, even I sent him clear signals I'm not interested and even told him, but he just couldn't get it. So I finally had to tell him I have a boyfriend because he was becoming so annoying.

Yea, if I don't like the guy I'll tell him I have a man regardless of whether I do or not.

I have-this guy I knew for a few years always called me a lot and wanted to hang out a lot every time he and his girlfrind broke up do I finally just set all my profiles to in a relationship so he would leave me alone-luckily it worked-he was a fine friend to see every now and then and he is really sweet but not someone I want to date. Really I think it's just a cop out when you don't wabt to tell them that you don't want to date them for whatever reason. But for what it's worth it's not something I do all the time. Hope that's not what girls are doing to you

I have, in order to prevent hurting their feelings. It takes a lot of guts for guys to do that and I think it doesn't help to just tell them you're not interested in them.

I've done it once. but only because the guy wouldn't leave me alone, he kept following me so I finally said that I had a boyfriend and dialed my guyfriend's number to seem convincing. The guy left me alone then. But other then that I just say I'm not interested and they usually accept it.

I'm pretty upfront. I just say I'm too busy with something, I think especially if I work with him and he hangs out with my friends, being upfront about it is the best thing. Sometimes other girls do say that, I guess I never have.

I've never done that; I never think to in the moment. One time when a guy wouldn't leave me alone when I was being honest with him, it was my friends who told him I had a boyfriend. They'll definitely lie about it, but I don't.

It's possible that they're just saying that because they're not interested, but not all the girls you like are going to be single, so they're not all lying.

Personally I've told guys just plain NO that I'm not interested but they don't drop it. I have also told guys I have a boyfriend when I didn't, some leave me alone, and some still don't care. I then resort to saying I'm married. lol. Sorry but some dudes just keep at it and I hate it so sometimes I tend to tell guys who don't know what NO means, I have a boyfriend or I'm married. (I actually have a boyfriend so I'm not totally lieing anymore)

my guy friend has said he was my boyfriend to get a guy away from me.
it is possible for you to be attracted to girls that aren't available.

some girls might say they are taken just to let you down easy in hopes of not hurting your feelings. have you considered if you come on too strong or something?

if I'm not interested in a guy I don't flirt w him or do anything that would lead him on because I wouldn't want that done to me. good luck!

I probably would say that so that I wouldn't hurt his feelings.
If she's really interested in you, her boyfriend won't matter to her when she's in your presence.

I've definitely said I had a boyfriend to a guy I'm not attracted to, but I only do it to guys I don't know very well. If they still decide to be my friend and my feelings toward them change over time, I might "dump" my boyfriend or something. But if they don't even try to talk to me after that, then it doesn't seem like they really liked "me", if you know what I mean.

yes.

Ehh, yeah - I know I've done that before. I doubt all of them are lying though - maybe you want what you can't have ;)

its a polite and nice answer to say I'm not interested .

I know women who wear fake wedding rings to not be bothered at bars, so yeah, dude, its possible.
