She asks if I've had a girlfriend

[skinnydart]

I was on a date last night (3rd date with girl) and she asks me if I've ever had a girlfriend. I really haven't ever had one but I didn't want to say that but I didn't really know what to say.

I ended up just kinda saying something like "I've dated this one girl for a while, but we never really hit it off" then we were interuptted.

I wasn't thinking on my feet that fast but what would have been the best thing to say?

 

[TheRelic]

None of her business!

She prolly asking out of insecurity, or assumtions based on how youve been the past few dates (you want it to be the former ).

You know what to say dude... geez... be vague, boost yourself up.

Easy!

i recall me being in a similar situation myself at one point with this girl.

she had asked if i had a gf before. i dont remember how i responded, then she had asked me how much did i have, she gave me numbers to choose from, then i just siad a few.

but in actuality i never had a gf before she asked me.

This is a kind of **** test to filter how experienced you are, if you must, LIE!!

Interesting question though which I didnt think about it as being a test. Similiarly last night a girl I was chatting to asked me "how many phone numbers did you get"

 

[skinnydart]

Man, so I probably screwed it up by in so many words basicly saying "none". (what "I've dated one girl for a while but we've really never hit it off" means).

 

[wjh]

yea just exaggerate. "how may girlfriends have you been with" - "thousands"

or like what one of the first replies said, that was great "a TON, do you have a calculator?"

That's because it's not a test, it's just conversation. There are so many different answers you can give to this it's not even funny. It's a very easy question to apply C&F to, as well as anything else you can imagine - though if you haven't ever thought of an answer before it might not seem so easy. Don't worry, as you'll do better next time. Here are some pointers:

Don't ever say "none". This makes you look very, very bad.
Don't ever tell her the first time she asks. Make her work for it.

When a girl asks me, I'll tell her to guess. Then I'll go "too high", "too low", etc. Or, I'll ask her if she means "serious relationships or people I dated (said with a smarta*s smirk). Other times, I'll ask her how many girlfriends she's had. On and on and on the options go. Be unique.

Oh yeah, and stop thinking "oh I screwed it up by saying 'none'". Sure, you could have played the question off better - but you didn't. No sense in worrying about something you can't change; if it matters that much then she won't talk to you again. If it doesn't, then you'll be hitting it before long.

Be vague. Don't give a direct answer. Remember to be a mystery, etc.

NEVER lie, except if you're joking, but don't tell blatent lies.. they'll ALWAYS catch up with you sooner or later (i learnt that the hard way).

i sat there laughing and smiling on the inside.

Even if you have a low number, you can always 'hint' that many other girls have tried to make you their boyfriend, but that you reserve that title for a select few.

If you see potential in her for a LTR you could say you haven't met the right woman until now

 

[Tryptamine]

I just tell girls "a couple" and wink at them or give them a little smile.

 

[spider_007]

Hey, they don't tell us the truth haw many guys they jeark off, why should we feel the need to tell them.

They are just trying to find out if your a male slut or what. Not answering the quiestion keeps her wondering.

 

[assasin]

I like asking them to guess, If she answers it's sort of a clue to her interest level in you.

But be prepared to respond to a smart ass comment like "none" or "actually I thought you might be gay"

Since you guys got interrupted for all she knows that was just the start of your dating history.

That's just what I didn't want to happen.

I would of answered something like

"Yeah,....and there was that stalker also ....but I don't count her that was abit of a one way relationship, the stripper, well she was just jealous of my good looks and couldn't hack it and I supppose the ex-wife must of been a girlfriend at some point...but enough about me, how about you? Dated any movie stars or am I the best catch yet??"

All said in such away to convey your attitude....while keeping the mystery up and turning the question back onto her....assuming you want to know her past.
