Although there’s nothing wrong with dating a sugar baby playing the field or wanting to keep her options open, it’s only natural for a more traditional sugar daddy to prefer someone who’s 100 percent single. It’s not as easy to tell a single woman from one who’s merely making herself available as one might think.
Of course, you can always just approach someone you like and ask outright. But it’s still helpful to know whether your target is unattached before you make your move. Here are some tangible signs to keep in mind.
1. She’s a people-watcher
Not every single woman will be much of an open flirt in a given social situation. A shyer sugar baby or someone more reserved, in general, might keep to herself even if she’s open to meeting men. But you can still tell a lot by how she responds to other people around her.
Sugar babies who are attached often seem oblivious to other people when they’re out and about, especially if they’re already out with friends. But a single girl who’s open to meeting new folks is more apt to people-watch, the better to see who else is around.
2. She looks fantastic at all times
Of course, some women simply take a ton of pride in themselves and love to look like a million bucks at all times. But most women tend to slip into a kind of casual cool mode when they’re going to be spending time in a neutral setting.
So if the potential sugar baby you’ve got your eye on gets all dolled up to work on her laptop at the corner café or to complete her weekly grocery shopping trip, there’s a chance she does it just in case she meets anyone interesting. She knows that anything’s possible, and she likely wants to be ready.
3. She’s all too happy to sit and chat
Sugar babies who aren’t single and available often aren’t interested in chatting up any potential sugar daddies they might meet while they’re out and about. They might well be willing to engage in polite conversation, but only up to a point. After a minute or two, they tend to seek a reason to excuse themselves.
But a single sugar baby interested in making new connections will welcome the chance to chat with a high-value sugar daddy type. She’ll stay and talk a while without ever giving the impression she has somewhere else she’d rather be.
4. She acts single on social media
Most people – especially younger people – have at least some presence on social media these days, so you can get a pretty decent read on a potential sugar baby’s life by scoping her out a little. Sometimes her profile will say outright whether she’s single, but you can still figure out the shot by looking through her feeds.
Does she post many pictures with other men – especially any specific men over and over? Do her friends comment on those pictures in a way that implies she’s seeing the other person? How do men, in general, behave on her page? Do they keep a respectful distance, or does their behavior suggest they know she’s up for grabs?
5. She’s not glued to her phone
Again, every sugar baby will be different, and people who don’t look at their phones all that much do exist. But women in relationships tend to stay in close contact with their significant others, even when they’re out and about, so it becomes second nature to check their phones.
So if you see a sugar baby who’s not positively glued to hers, it’s a good sign. She’s more interested in what’s happening around her than anything that could be happening on that little screen of hers.
6. Social time always seems to involve her friends
Whether you see this potential sugar baby out and about with her friends all the time or she only ever talks about her girls when she discusses her social life, a friend-centric personal life isn’t always a guaranteed sign that she’s single. But it’s a pretty good indicator that she’s available.
Even when women are in relationships that are more casual or perhaps not all that harmonious, they still spend most of their social time with whomever the guy is. A single girl, on the other hand, still has her girlfriends front and center on her social calendar.
Naturally, you’ll want to just ask the girl you have your eye on if she’s single. But signs like the above can clue you in ahead of time as to whether or not she’s even on the market. What other signs would you add to the list?
