  8 0 I would say that it totally depends on the situation and how comfortable you are with the person/people you wish to ask. The best way to tell w/o asking is to simply watch: we all tend to give out subtle to not-so-subtle clues as to whom we find attractive, and the more you watch someone, you can pick up on who their eyes follow and/or who they tend to be watching themselves. Of course, some people aren't comfortable watching other people. Then of course, if you wanna know, you're gonna have to ask. Of course, even the most open and out of individuals may wish to know WHY you'd want to know: if you're curious about someone that you have a romantic interest in, it might very well be relevant; if you're getting to know someone as a friend and want to know them better, then yeah, it's part of getting to know them; if it's someone who you don't really intend to pursue knowing on a friendship or acquaintance level, it really shouldn't even matter...

  5 0 Yes*. the certain situations where this isn't true involve nudity. * Grandfather, when he taught proper manners to us younguns, made it clear: There are three preferences you don't talk about in friendly company (or at the dinner table, and get a hair cut you shaggydog punk!): Religious Sexual Political Nearly every time I've been fool enough to test this theory, it 95% of time backfires and blows up in my face. I suppose the old fucker perhaps knew what he was talking about. /etiquette merit badge Rev.Enant answered in Pride Week Q&A about 1 year ago | Report Comment on this answer Enter your comment or ask a new question New comments are not being accepted at this time.

  4 0 It's kind of nosy to ask, don't you think? If you know the person well ehough to ask, you probably already know the answer. Taking a tip from the Rev's grandfather, it's not dissimilar from asking what someone's religion or preferred political party is. Backatcha: what would be your goal in asking? Not in knowing, but in asking?

  2 0 If you wish to sleep with them, and think there might be a possibility of it, then you can ask. Otherwise, it's completely irrelevant.

That's what you really want to know anyway. :) CleverScreenName commented about 1 year ago | Report 0 0 I agree with CSN. Get to the damn point already.

  2 0 I suggest giving them your best come-hither look, replete with rapid winking, whilst making the open-fists-bumping-together gesture (if female) or the finger-poking-fist one (if male). I'm sure the results will be very educational.

  1 0 Just up and asking someone you don't know this question does seem awfully forward to me. If you know someone well enough, this will eventually come up in conversation naturally. On the other hand, if you have a crush on someone and want to know, ask their friends: "Is he available?" Or, a step further, a good way of getting straight men and lesbians to out themselves would go something like this: "Oh, did you see that Anthony Bourdain is in town?" *swoon* Lee answered in Pride Week Q&A about 1 year ago | Report Comment on this answer Enter your comment or ask a new question New comments are not being accepted at this time.
