Some girls, especially ones from patriarchal clans seem to use "I already have a boyfriend" as an explanation of why they are not interested in a guy.
Sometimes, it means literally that: They might be interested if they were single, but since they already have a boyfriend switching would be too much bother.
And sometimes, it is just a convenient excuse, a way to avoid having to say "no" to a man you're not interested in.
Is using it in the last way lazy and dishonest, or is it a nice way of avoiding awkward confrontations by a white lie you know the other party is likely to swallow? Do men feel insulted if they are used as an excuse that way?
