Are most people usually taken?

I get tired of girls always saying they have a boyfriend. I know I'm just a random guy that comes up to them, but I don't know anything about her either. Why shoot a guy down so easily? I now the whole i have a boyfriend thing is just an easy thing for them to say to get you to go away. Now I'm sure some do.

Bro, that's a super frustrating situation. I can see why you'd get tired of girls always pulling the "I have a boyfriend" card when you try to talk to them. It does kind of feel like a cop-out sometimes.

At the same time, I get why they might do that. As a girl, you gotta be careful, you know? There are a lot of creeps out there who won't take no for an answer. So the "boyfriend" thing is kind of an easy way to shut it down without having to get into a whole confrontation.

But I get that it sucks when you're just trying to be friendly and get shot down like that. It can make a guy feel like all the girls are taken or just not interested.

The truth is, there are a lot of single girls out there. Not everyone is in a relationship. But a lot of girls are also just kind of cautious, especially when random dudes come up to them. They don't know you from Adam, so they gotta protect themselves, you feel me?

The best thing to do is to just keep putting yourself out there, but maybe try a different approach. Don't just walk up and ask them out. Try striking up a casual conversation first, get to know them a little bit. That way it's not coming across as some random dude trying to hook up.

And don't get too discouraged, bro. There are plenty of fish in the sea. You just gotta keep your head up and keep trying. The right girl will come along when the time is right. Just focus on being the best version of yourself in the meantime.

Well don’t be tired of it be glad they are loyal for the first thing. You wouldn’t want your girlfriend, wife, etc. Running around while she’s taken. Also be glad she didn’t get with you because being with someone whose in a relationship even if you had no idea can be a disaster in the end.

Just keep looking not everyone is meant to be. Also shooting someone down if they aren’t interested is the best thing they can do. You don’t want someone who doesn’t genuinely like you wasting your time. It doesn’t mean they’re rejecting you as a human being and if they are be glad they did. You want someone who genuinely likes you back.

Most people, especially women, are usually taken, yes. But also, the whole “it’s just a lie to make you leave her alone” isn’t exactly true. That excuse doesn’t deter many guys, many guys still try to shoot their shot even if you say you're taken. So not many women lie about it these days.

Maybe I could leave my number instead if she claims to have a boyfriend? Never know, she could think about it later on and change her mind.

Then again I always ended things there as soon as the topic came up. Any girl who says that isn't interested anyways.

I don't like being approached by people I don't know so boyfriend is the default response whether I have one or not at that time.

[red324]

How do you expect to find someone then? I assume you just don't want to.

Most quality people are taken. There are good reasons why desperate people on dating sites tend to be losers most of the time, not all, of course.

[Summeroflove]

People who aren’t losers don’t tend to last long on there.

I'll tell you what to say when woman says that. Say, "can I get your phone number anyhow just in case it doesn't work out. Because if she wants to, she will. And if she doesn't then you know.
