Ok this girl that was showing some interest in me well I asked her to lunch and she seemed kind of surprised at first and she didn't really know what to say but at the end of the conversation she acted pleased and we made a date to go to lunch togher. Well later on in the day I found out she has a boyfriend so I want to avoid the LJBF route so should I just ask her tomorrow if she has a boyfriend and when she says yes how should I react? Did I probably blow it with this girl?
Lets take it backwards... did you blow it? Hell no. Avoiding the LJBF is ALWAYS ideal for ppl breaking into the DJ world, kudos. Most good looking girls have boyfriends... but most are with them for the security of "having a boyfriend" not because they are actually attached to them. Lunch is good, ice cream is better.
So what should you do?
Understand that attraction has two parts... your end and hers. Her life experiences, cultural background, other options, baggage, boyfriends, all exert individual forces on her feelings for you. However, it is ultamatly your responsibility to raise her interest in you. In most situations there IS ALWAYS something to say that will bend the moment in your favor... but I'm getting ahead of myself.
Bud, you like her. She likes you. Hence, lunch. She has a boyfriend... but obviously you provide her with something he doesn't. Hence, lunch. You are 'new' and therefore exciting, he is 'old' and therefore boring. Hence, lunch.
A girls boyfriend is like any other baggage, even if you know its there, its best to act like you dont - let her think that you see a pure, true version of her... not a swirling mass of problems and pitfalls.
So go on your 'date,' dont pay for her, test the waters. Read the bible, try some of the techniques like kino, build her attraction and have fun with it. However, as she has a boyfriend, be aware that she MUST innitiate the first move [so you save face]. Also, she may use the B/F as a trump card to keep you as a friend - don't be embarrist or angry when she brings him up, in fact, be the opposite:
twotiming***** - Oh, you play soccer? My BOYFRIEND steve plays soccer too!
Budmacdaddy - No way! U know... soccer players are known for our butts... just dont tell steve I gave away his secret ;-)
Be confident, be charismatic, and goddamn it - HAVE FUN!
