If that guy you always flirt with in your favorite coffee shop or bar happens to mention that he has a girlfriend, play it cool. Simply smile and say “lucky girl” or “my loss.” That’s it. Enough said. If you think there’s potential to become his next girlfriend, then make sure you fill the friend spot while he remains with his current one. Keep talking, flirting and asking questions about him to hint that you’re interested. You can even ask a couple questions about her, but keep them general so you don’t cross the line.
