I think some women who claim to have a boyfriend don't.
They say they have one because it's as good an excuse as any.

Don't forget that many times a woman LEAVES her boyfriend
after meeting someone she likes better.  If she had any interest
in you, she probably would encourage causal "non-dates",
where she can evaluate your further and decide whether or not
you're worth giving up the bird in hand.

Some of my relationships began while the woman was already dating
someone else.  The more outgoing (single) women are ALWAYS dating SOMEBODY.
