I've seen a few people talk about this so I'm going to explain it my own way:
For example, are you talking for 5 minutes with her and when you then escalate to get a number or ask her out on a date she says, "Oh, I'm sorry, I have a boyfriend so it wouldn't be right," and starts walking away? That girl probably does have a boyfriend. Or in the conversation at some point, does she say, "Just to let you know, I have a boyfriend," but she doesn't walk away and when you basically ignore it and change the subject, she keeps talking to you and you are getting flirty vibes? In that case, she may or may not have a boyfriend, her boyfriend could be a guy who lives 1,000 miles away who she's been having issues with, or she could have 5 boyfriends, or or or or or....... If she's still talking to you and still flirting, she is likely open to you. So proceed as if she didn't mention it.
- It tells her you don't understand the social reality that most attractive women always have guys in their orbit/rotation and are never truly single.
- It tells her you don't understand that there are many shades of grey in male-female relationships and instead you think it's just "single" or "in a committed relationship with one person." This translates to her forming an opinion that you are very inexperienced (and rightfully so).
- It tells her you want to be her boyfriend. Why would you want to be her boyfriend if you only just met her? Even if this is not your intention, it puts a lot of pressure on her immediately. In her mind, she is likely thinking, "WOAH slow down there buddy.... I don't even know you."
- It eliminates an entitled mindset that you don't care if she has a boyfriend or not - You are so good that even if she has one, she would still be interested in you. Even if you wouldn't want a girl who monkey branches from her boyfriend up to you, that is besides the point.... it's the mindset, entitlement, and experience you are communicating to her by not caring.
- She could have a boyfriend that she's on the outs with and looking for a reason to finally move-on
