• “How much money do you make?” – Seriously, don’t be that person who asks about someone’s salary. It’s like trying to calculate the exact number of fries in a fast-food order – unnecessary and awkward. Plus, it’s none of your business how fat their wallet is.
• “Why are you still single?” – Who made you the Relationship Police? Just because someone isn’t attached at the hip doesn’t mean they’re defective or desperately searching for love. Let them enjoy their solo adventures without feeling like they need an interrogation from Cupid himself.
• “Are you gay?” – Unless this guy has hired you as his personal detective, steer clear of prying into his sexual orientation. If he wants to share that information with you, trust me, he will…and probably while singing along to Lady Gaga songs.
• “Have you ever cheated on anyone before?” – Bringing up past infidelity is like poking an angry bear with a stick; things can get messy real quick. Save yourself some drama and avoid stirring up old wounds or causing unnecessary suspicion in your conversation.
• “What’s your ex like?” – Talking about exes can open Pandora’s box faster than a kid unwrapping presents on Christmas morning. Unless Mr. Charming decides to spill the tea first, keep those skeletons locked away where they belong – buried deep down inside our emotional closets.
• “Do you think I’m attractive?” – Ahh yes, fishing for compliments disguised as innocent curiosity! While we all appreciate validation now and then (who doesn’t?), putting someone on the spot by asking if they find us attractive might just lead to an awkward silence longer than waiting for Netflix to buffer during a crucial plot twist.
• “When are we getting married/having kids?” – Slow down there Speedy Gonzalez! Pressuring someone into making life-altering commitments before they’ve even finished their morning coffee is enough to send them running for the hills. Let relationships unfold naturally, like a beautifully crafted burrito.
• “Can I see your phone/messages/social media accounts?” – Unless you’re auditioning for the role of Nosy Nancy in a reality TV show, asking to snoop through someone’s personal life is generally frowned upon. Respect their privacy and save yourself from accidentally stumbling upon embarrassing cat memes or questionable selfies.
• “Why don’t you have a ‘real’ job?” – Ah, yes, because we all know that being an astronaut ninja was not on the list of acceptable career choices. Judging someone’s occupation as less than worthy only reveals your own narrow-mindedness. Embrace diversity; it makes life way more interesting!
• “How much do you weigh?” – Asking about weight is like trying to solve advanced calculus problems at 2 am after three cups of coffee – just unnecessary stress! Focus on getting to know who they are beyond numbers on a scale; trust me, there’s so much more worth discovering.
• “Why don’t you have a girlfriend?” – Congratulations Sherlock Holmes, but maybe this guy enjoys his independence or hasn’t found someone who can handle his unique brand of charm yet. Don’t make him feel like he needs to justify his single status with pie charts and PowerPoint presentations.
• “Are you planning on getting married soon?” – Marriage plans are as unpredictable as weather forecasts these days; one minute it’s sunny and clear, the next it’s pouring rain with no umbrella in sight. Give people space to navigate their own journeys without feeling pressured into making lifetime commitments faster than Usain Bolt runs the 100-meter dash.
• “What’s your biggest insecurity?” – While diving deep into emotional waters can be rewarding when done right (cue Titanic theme song), prying into someone’s insecurities without consent is like crashing headfirst into an iceberg – cold and potentially damaging. Build trust first, then maybe you’ll get a peek behind their emotional curtain.
• “Do you think I’m better-looking than your exes?” – Ahh yes, the age-old comparison game. But let’s be real here: beauty is subjective and constantly evolving like fashion trends or Taylor Swift’s hairstyles. Instead of seeking validation through comparisons, embrace your unique fabulousness and let others appreciate it in their own way.
• “Have you ever been arrested or committed a crime?” – Unless this guy has his own episode on America’s Most Wanted, there’s no need to dig into his criminal history like an amateur detective. Give people the benefit of the doubt until they hand out business cards that read “Professional Scoundrel.”
• “Why aren’t you more successful by now?” – Oh dear Judge Judy, success comes in many shapes and sizes! Questioning someone’s achievements without understanding their personal journey is like trying to fit Shaq into Cinderella’s glass slipper – it just doesn’t work. Celebrate each other’s victories instead; life becomes so much sweeter when we lift each other up rather than playing the comparison game.
