How do you go about asking someone if they like boys or girls?

Question

Do you just wait until they tell you, or you eventually ask as the friendship grows...

It wouldn't make a difference really... It's just out of curiosity.

Thanks.

Answer 1

Just say nicely are you g*y or do u like the same s*x something nice and not to confronting.

Answer 2

OMG it isn't rude you just go up and ask them. You ask me I'll tell you.  

Answer 3

I think u need to wait till they tell u

if u ask them and there not g*y they might feel really self conciouse around u and won't be able to be there self

Answer 4

Depends on how well you know them. I'm an extremly blunt person, so I'd just be like

"So, you like chicks or *****?"

Answer 5

"Are you g*y?" when you're talking about s*x, dating, etc. No offense will be taken by asking that

Well I guess it's different for each person. I would personally never be offended if someone just asked me...

Answer 6

I think it can be kind of rude to ask if a person likes guys or girls.  If I wonder if a person is bi or g*y sometimes I'll find ways to bring up in conversation that I have some really good friends that are bi or g*y, or if I'm feeling comfortable I might let them know that I usually date guys but that every once in a while I find myself attracted to particular girls... That let's them know that if they are q***r they can tell me because I obviously won't judge, but they don't have to tell me if they're still not comfortable.

Answer 7

So then what's it to you?  If you ever get to be good enough friends where your sexual preferences are discussed, it will come up when the time is right and will probably be a mutual thing.

Are you prepared for them to ask you about your sexual orientation?  Do you even know?  It took me about 42 years to start to figure it out for myself - I'm either slow or complex - and now I'm too old to care really =P

Have fun figuring things out...

Answer 8

If you have a friend who you think may be g*y or bi. I think it's best to let them tell you if or when they feel comfortable about it.

It's a very personal thing to be asking anyone no matter how close so if you feel a need to ask a friend then you want to try to be tactful if you ask. Asking if they ever feel attracted to boys/girls (same s*x) is probably the best.

Answer 9

I would never point blank ask them. I would hint around alot about other g**s/lesbians and watch for their reaction.

Answer 10

I always ask, "are you g*y," or "are you a L*****n?" If they say no and seem offended I offer up my most sincere apology. Yes I know, pretty crude, but I don't like to waste time tip-toeing around issues.

Answer 11

You don't. People tell if, when, where, what, how they want to who they want to. That's private.
