When women say that they just got out of a bad relationship, what are they really saying?
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."

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.
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.
