Why don't some girls just say they have a boyfriend?

Question

There has been a few instances where I have asked a girl for her number and have followed by asking them out (sometimes more than once) and they give me an excuse as to why they can't go. But then I find the truth out later on, "they have a boyfriend." Why is it so hard to say that they already have a boyfriend? Why would they make it so confusing for me?

Answer 1

'cause they love the flattery; or they just don't want to reject you that bad. Which is stupid, because there will be more damage when the guys find out why!

Answer 2

they lied to you because they dont like you. they dont really have bfs

Answer 3

They just want to keep it for themselves.

Answer 4

well us girls dont like being mean sometimes we kinda think it is mean to say "oh i have a boyfriend." idk why we are just like that though us we are confusing but hey we love guys so much we would not wanna be mean to them cuz we dont like it when guys r mean to us

Answer 5

for a lot of girls they see giving their number to guys as just another part of flirting...something which some still do when they are in relationships. Its just another **** part of dating.  

Answer 6

maybe they wanna keep there options open...^^ well umm also the girl just wants a second opinion if they r hot to guys r not cause they feel insecure and stuff

Answer 7

They probably like you and don't want to lead you off to much just in case things don't work out with there boyfriend and they can go out with you. Those are stupid untrustworthy girls who use men and you shouldn't even bother asking  them out....

Answer 8

women like to b be mysterious?? who knows!
