"Are you married or single"

Since 2014, I have been a member of English Club due to my friend's invitation. However, I didn't use EC everyday and I was busy with my job. Whenever I am free, I come to EC and  study English. Sometimes,  I chat  with some crazy friends from EC online . When we start to chat , the most question I was ever asked is  that " are you married or single".  And I want to ask all my friends form EC  " Are you married or single ''

  • Hi Theint!

    Sometimes, that question goes naughty for naughty members. So, females must be careful and smart to deal with that. :)

    I'm ... sing-- ))

  • I agree with Paul and Zivi. Sometimes I also ask such question to the guy who chat me. It is important for me so I can know how to behave. 

  • Thanks to all my dear friends. I appreciate all of your comments. Now I will no longer be afraid of chatting with all friends from EC . And also I can learn how you all give comments and all of your writing skills. Thank you so much .

  • When there still existed the old englishclub chatroom#1 the most asked question has been "asl?" which meant people were asking for age, sex, and language. From what I found out ppl asked because they were curious to know the other andhow to start a talk. Well in this MyEC Chatroom one may look people´s pages up and find some information. Now the next question coming to mind is: "are you married?" To me it is just a question to bridge the distance since ppl dunno how to start a talk. Since religion and politics may lead into a struggle quite soon and are somewhat frowned upon in serious international chat rooms.

    I might err, but it seems a general question in order to start a conversation.

  • I think first it is an innocent question, because nobody is going to propose any one in an initial chat.  It is just to get to know as much as possible.  I have also been asking by the chatters the same question again and again.  Yesterday was the recent.  So consider it as routine of chatting and nothing else.

  •    When I first came here 2 years ago  I didn't  want to say I married or I am 36  

         It was my  first time to talk ton cyber people  . I felt that most of them are younger  than me  and they won't talk or chat because of my age  

         Now  , I have changed  I tell my age honestly and say I am  married   and a mom with 4 little  birds in the nest  :) people still talk with me here no one have rejected  me as I was thinking  

                   Let me say I have many good friends here  . However  , I think it's an  oridinary  question  . There is no harm to say if u are married or single  

  • What I do....If I do chat with a new member in the very beginning I like to say..I am married and I do a job.

  • I guess, it is better to wash the vegetables before eating them.

  • I am agree with paul :D

  • I guess you are asked by men usually, I do not think women tend to ask such questions XD
