The boyfriend bomb

[Rollo Tomassi]

HER: “I have a boyfriend, just to let you know. No, really, I have a boyfriend.”

YOU: "That’s great. So does my girlfriend."

"and so does my girlfriend" is a good quick line to throw right back at them (props to Roissy).

Them throwing the line at you doesn't make you a chump. You getting pissed off about it, on the other hand, reeks of AFC...

props (for quoting the source as well)

nice reframe. I should read Roissy more often.

Pre-empt the whole situation and ask "Hey, are you single?" within the first minute or two. This puts you in the driver's seat rather than her.

Great advice, not only it puts you in the driver seat, but also says "Go fuvk yourself if you want me as a friend. I only am interested in you romantically." Always ask. It will also show her interest in you.
