Would it be rude if a guy asked a girl if she was single?

I disagree with the first writer to make it "jokingly"

I think real and sincere interest need to be shown. It's not rude at all to want to know someone.

Be real. Say this in your own style and words...."I've seen you several times and can't keep my eyes off you (flattery).....are you available right now (you need the go ahead signal).....I'd love to get to know you! How about a coffee?" (throw out some bait and see if she bites)

No it's not rude.

The thing that men don't know about women is that it doesn't really matter how you approach her (within reason) if she likes you, she will react well to it.

At the end of the day, everyone is flattered by admiration and attention from the opposite sex so just be yourself and approach her like that. If she doesn't respond the way you want don't take it to heart maybe she could be going through her own thing or she just isn't up for dating but either way it is no reflection on you and you can be assured that there will be a gorgeous girl out there up for dating you.

Good luck!

Just chat her up casually every time you run into her and when you feel you're familiar with each other ask her if she wants to get coffee of lunch or something some time. Something casual. When you're in the "getting to know each other" phase it isn't rude to ask someone if they are single but I would personally change up the wording a bit. Try something like, "Are you seeing anyone?" or ask about friends, family and boyfriends. Hope this helps.

for the reason which you basically 'escaped' from a courting; in step with risk it particularly is ultimate to make the attempt to get to correctly known your self earlier leaping into yet another courting. You latest as having some bitterness, heal your self earlier bringing yet another gal into your existence.

don't be forward.talk to her for some few days and introduce yourself to her.After a while,you could ask for her number.When she finally gives you her number...get to knowing each other and in between you will get an opportunity to ask her if she's single.It's better to take your time.Girl's like that.Don't ask her if she is single before she gives you her number.Coz if she doesn't like you back she might be hesitant to give you her number after you ask her that.Remember to smell good whenever you want to talk to her.Girl's never forget,nice-smelling guys.All the best.

No, its not rude, its flattering. Just be cool and polite and nice, get chatting and then ask. Its a compliment and also comes across as sweet, as we do realise how hard it is for you guys to ask :-)

Ask her out sometime, for coffee or a drink. Dont ask if she's single. If you get her number and she agrees to go on a date then she is obviously single. No need to ask her.

No thats not rude... Just do it in a joking and cheeky way that way even if she classes it as rude it wont really matter cause you'll be making her laugh! Good Luck hunny! xxxxx

It wouldn't be rude. Even if she is in a relationship, it would still be a compliment to her regardless as everyone loves that sort of attention!

Not rude at all. when girls here you say that it makes them aware that you are single. dont do it straight away as soon as you meet her.... wait a couple of days then ask her!!
