How to tell if a woman isn't single.

Whoever said that a girl will mention her bf at some point in conversation is right.
For the most part, but another thing you could do is to ask an indirect question that presumes she has a bf; even a question about her bf and if she's single she'll most likely respond by saying she doesnt have one.

That's not a bad strategy, actually. I remember seeing a great version of this approach in a James Cagney film, where he says to the girl: "So, who's carrying your books for you now?"
But I agree with Zee and homer that if a girl is taken, she is likely to bring it up in conversation herself. Assuming every girl is taken right off the bat seems like it'd be shooting yourself in the foot- that's like going into a job interview assuming somebody else will get the position.

The reason I assume a woman is taken unless I have proof otherwise is because one time there was this woman I had a passing interest in... I went about 6 months before she revealed that she had a boyfriend...

That really sucks. I remember being surprised that way once by a guy who'd been paying me a lot of attention, and that was only after one month. But that's her error, not yours. Most of us know better.

I wouldn't have said it was her fault... my standard operation towards all women, regardless of whether I'm attracted or not, is pretty much the same: friendly, but reserved... I can't make romantic overtures to women because it's one of the few things that still makes me incredibly nervous... even carrying small talk doesn't do that to me anymore... So for all I know, she didn't think I was attracted, and only dropped the boyfriend in natural conversation some months later...

Yeah, we hate that, though.
I'm an NT female with an AS boyfriend of 1.5 years, btw. When guys hit on me, it's obvious and kind of pathetic.
You will find the right girl when you aren't looking for her-- that's the way it works.
My bf and I decided that I should wear a fake engagement ring so that I don't have to deal with it anymore, because it can get scary/stalkerish real fast.
If you just talk to a girl, but not for the purpose of finding a girlfriend, you will be surprised how well things go. If she is attracted and there is chemistry, she'll probably pursue you or tell her friends she likes you or whatever. When my bf and I were first getting together, that was a bit of a problem, because it took him a little while to realize I was interested.
How to tell if a woman's single....
If she's not making much eye contact
If she's alone sitting by herself
If she's not wearing a dainty ring on the ring finger
If she's not dressed up in a sexy outfit
If she wears too much jewelry and not enough skin
If she speaks awkwardly when in a conversation
If she has too many pets
If she looks around at guys when they're not looking.
Oh wait.....that'd be me. ![]()

As I was mentioning earlier in the thread, I tend to address all women the same way, and don't make that many romantic overtures (due to such interactions making me too nervous, and an approach without them will still work)... The good news is that, by the time the conversation is over, I'm friends with her... The bad news is that, by the time the conversation is over, I'm friends with her...
I guess what I'm trying to say is that you need to actually attract said woman in order for that approach to work, and since I'm unlovable, that's not going to happen in my case...

Is that how your boyfriend found you... when he "wasn't looking"?
Yup, we met unexpectedly and ended up talking to one another for 4 hours. We kept talking for 2 weeks, mostly online, for several hours a day. He would come home from his univ. (2 hours away) to see me and after it was clear he wasn't going to ask me out himself, I asked him out.
You have to wait for the girl who talks to you and understands you. There will be a girl who appreciates your quirks.
