Asking somebody if they are single is not the same as asking somebody if they are interested in you - especially if you are anonymous. Being out of the market through choice and being in a relationship are different too. If you pursue somebody who is out of the market through choice then you are just insulting them. If you pursue somebody romantically who is in a relationship then you are also insulting their partner.
— Asked by Anonymous
That is precisely my point. In a perfect world men wouldn’t make this assumption or behave in this way but on this planet they often do. Asking if someone is single or asking if they are dating someone is often a preliminary inquiry to further courtship behavior. When did I ever say if I thought the anon was asking me that question to that end? I answered based on my previous experiences, not on any belief on why the anon posed the question. It made for a more relevant and interesting answer than a simple yes or no. Whether you are that anon or speaking on his or her behalf, don’t take it personally, it was a generally-toned answer and directed to no one person in particular. Namaste.
