When people ask, "Do you have a girl/boyfriend?"

[Jupiter Drops]

Do you consider that question to be rude?
I've had this one person who kept asking me many times if I have a boyfriend. That was quite annoying.

 

[Zach91]

Do you have a boyfriend?

 

[Jupiter Drops]

Do you have a boyfriend?

Do you?

 

[Nanopants]

^Classic.

Do you consider it rude when they don't ask?

 

[Saucy]

No I wouldn't consider it rude. I'd say that's a typical question someone asks not long after meeting someone.

 

[Zach91]

Everybody always asks me if I've got a girlfriend yet. I'm not offended, more like embarrassed for being a perma-single.

 

[Sketcher]

I find that rude, in most cases. If I thought it was your business, I would tell you.

 

[Miss Spaulding]

No, I don't consider it to be rude. A little bit like prying...but not rude.

 

[MehGuy]

For some reason people ask if I have a wife more than asking if I have a girlfriend.

I'm like.. look at my hand.. no wedding ring!

Yes! The same thing for me. I'm most often asked if I'm married.

It doesn't bother me. If I'm not dating anyone, then I might mention if I met somebody who seems interesting and keep it vague. If I feel like it, that is. Sometimes, a simple yes or no will suffice. For the most part, this sort of thing is just smalltalk. They don't need to hear a detailed story about my love life or lack thereof.

 

[Owlette]

Hmm. Interesting. People ask me if I have kids a lot more than asking me if I'm married or have a boyfriend.

They do ask me if I have a boyfriend though. I don't think it's rude. I just find it frustrating, from time to time, to have to keep updating them with the same "No… not yet" answer.

 

[graciesings]

Depends why someone's asking. Either:
1.) They want something to gossip about (usually girls)
2.) The guy asking wants to know if he can be my boyfriend
3.) The person asking thinks I'm single and wants to rub it in.

The first one can bug me. Depends how much I feel like talking

The second one is nice if and only if I like the guy.

The third one is always a little upsetting. I'm likely to give a curt response even though I try to be gracious all the time.

 

[scraparcs]

I find it annoying. I've been known to give sarcastic answers. (FYI, I haven't really been married five times, and the person you always see with me isn't one of my followers.)

Not rude really to me.
I find it funny and laugh at it, very loudly and bordering on insanely, but then just say no.

 

[KitKatMatt]

I don't find it rude. I usually find the followups rude, though.

"Do you have a boyfriend?"
"No."
"You need to stop wearing those clothes, no boy will want to talk to you!"

If a guy doesn't want to talk to me because of how I dress, then I don't want to be with that guy. I want people to stop doing these followup criticisms to me.

 

[Cute Tink]

I don't find it rude. There are a variety of reasons why someone may want to know and to use it against you is just one possible one.

If the person asking is cute, then I'll be hoping the follow up is asking me out (but I won't be crossing my fingers).

 

[Eye4Eye26]

If it's different people asking only once then no biggie. If the same person KEEPS asking over & over then that's just annoying lol.

 

[SnowyMacie]

I don't find it rude, just a bit annoying at times. It's usually my family who asks me.
