Basically, she's saying that you're ugly and that she could do better.

They're probably saying they got out of a bad relationship.

I think for most women it would mean they are reluctant and being cautious. They are ready to be with someone but are not sure if they can trust them. That would be the honest person. However if it was someone who was worried about hurting feelings etc it could mean that you are just not their type but they don't know how to let you know without hurting you. It depends on the individual. The only way to know the truth is to know the person fully.

It also can be a version of "I have a boyfriend" line which serves to discourage advances from men without risking a scary, negative reaction from him. In other words, "I can't say I don't want to date you without evoking some imaginary man who you will respect more than me."

Another possibility - maybe they are preparing you for the possibility that you'll be the rebound guy? If that's okay with you then proceed.

To me it would be interpreted as an abusive relationship that she is still recovering from nd a subtle hint that she is not ready for another

Kind of what I was thinking.

There are too many ways this could go.

Either she doesn't want a serious relationship not excluding some fun.

Or she is trying to let the guy down easy. Kind of like, "I have a boyfriend ."

This was me. The "bad relationship" I'd exited was one where I'd been lied to and cheated on by someone I'd been with for years.

In the next relationship I pursued, I was honest and explained that that experience made me extremely cautious.

That means she just wants to get laid, but doesnt want anything serious. So you should plan to just skeet and skedaddle.

It means she doesn't want a new relationship or anything like it, with you specifically. Unspecifically, with someone else, she could start in 5 minutes flat.
