“Sorry, I have a boyfriend” - The 5 words you shouldn’t be scared about.

September 10th, 2009


Guys, we all dread it, the 5 words that can turn a good day into a bad one, crush your heart and make you feel like a dweeb. It’s the “Sorry, I have a boyfriend” line.

I’m here to tell you, that line doesn’t mean a damn thing.

Women use it as a defense mechanism…that’s one of the few lines they have to get someone off their back.

Having a boyfriend shouldn’t stop your pursuit. Just because people have boyfriends it shouldn’t prevent them from meeting new people.

You just have to know how to spin things in your direction.

Let’s start out by assessing what the perception of the interaction is going to be.

  1. You try to pick her up
  2. She tells you she has a boyfriend.
  3. She’s probably going to expect you to say I’m sorry and walk away. And the whole interaction would be over.

BUT what if we decided to mix things up a little bit.

What if you changed that reality. And instead of saying sorry and walking away you used the following line as an example : “Really? He must be a happiest guy in the room! Can I meet him? I’d love to meet the happiest guy in the room!”

Just say something to make her laugh. If you don’t say anything to make her smile or giggle, you’ve pretty much lost your chance unless you’re the type that can dig themselves out of hostile situations.

The point is, never take the first no and think that the game is over. The game has just begun! No one ever got to the 100m finish line by stopping at the 10m mark. Just get your stride and keep going. You’ll get there eventually!
