So I'm newly red pilled and a cold approach virgin. Past women have either approached me or we would meet online. I finally got the confidence to talk to this HB8 (waitress) at this sports bar that I happen to pick up food from all the time. She is there almost everytime I go and she takes my order.

Today, as I signed my receipt I said "Seems I always see you here, do you ever get a day off?" as I smiled. She replied "Hardly ever. And I always see you here as well." as she smiled. I didn't ask for her number then because there simply wasn't enough time to build rapport and it would've came off as too random and creepy. My next course of action is to exchange names (even though I already know hers), build more comfort through talking and then close with "Well I've gotta go, but let me get your number and we can meet up sometime for drinks."

Question is what are some of the best responses to when or if she says "I've got a boyfriend" or simply says no? I know sometimes this can be a shit test and could be lying, but this chick is pretty hot so I'd be surprised if she is single--I still got some IOIs and a good vibe from her though.

Best response I've heard is "Oh really, how long you two been together?" but still not completely sold on it. Any other suggestions? I obviously want to avoid just saying "okay" or "oh sorry" and walk away with my head down like a chump.
