Admittedly it isnt a scenario I've had much experience with as I rarely find myself in situations where I'm onto a sure thing yet have a girlfriend, it's usually one or the other isnt it?
Not in my experience!! When I've been single it's been murder to get a woman to the 'sure thing' stage, however when I'm in a relationship they seem to come flooding out of the woodwork, as if God's mocking me!!! Personally I reckon it's a confidence/relaxation thing. When I'm in a relationship I'm not actually trying to pick someone up, a chat to someone in a bar/club when I'm out is just that, a chat. The slight whiff of desperation that comes from a single guy on the pull must be instantly detectable to women!
However, having said that, it always seems to be my girlfriends that have pointed out later that "some girl at the bar was eyeing you up" etc whereas I've been totally oblivious to it! Maybe, when I was single, girls were eyeing me up more than I realised, I just need a girlfriend to spot it for me. The irony!
