True or false: If a guy asked if I'm single, he's interested?

Question

Citizenkirk · Accepted Answer

Website: Guys as Girl's
Question: Unknown guy asking unknown individual who may or may not be a girl, based on no information and an implied inference of a photograph that this individual might be female.
Answer: If I prescribed you a medication, performed open cranial brain 🧠 surgery or heart surgery on you with this much information, you'd be O. K. with that, even though I'd have my medical license revoked my freedom gone sitting in a supermax prison cell and my reputation destroyed as a medical professional in high regard among his peers?
Your answer: you would take advice of this importance from a broken fortune cookie dispensed from a vending machine, if it were not for the convenience of the internet, and this website community of people asking generalized questions with no context provided, other than whatever people you know nothing about, choose too infer from those images and the catagory of the questions asked, too provide equally randomized answers of no specific context with no information to go on in an equally generalized response that has less relevant information on what you want to know then a roll of the dice at the casino, then let's see what these guys tell us, shall we?

True or false: If a guy asked if I'm single, he's interested?

Well, there's your answer for better for worse. thanks for playing.

Every cloud has a silver lining, but for who exactly, I guess is all I matter of rolling the dice, when you don't give much information on what your situation is.
It's like the old computer adage, "garbage and garbage out."

It could be false & true at the same time & maybe the guy is asking because he is interested or maybe he is asking because one of his friends are single & you might be a perfect match. When people ask me if I’m single I always say it depends on who is asking. On the other hand sometimes I say Why Are You Interested.

Cynicaldreamer · Accepted Answer

False. Depending on the guy, he might be asking for other reasons-

Speaking from experience, unfortunately 😑

I've had guys ask me if I'm single, or how am I still single. Yet it was them being inquisitive, making conversation, needed relationship advice and was wondering if I could relate, or they were friends getting to know me.
Did asking me that mean they liked me or wanted more? Hell no!

I'm sure there are instances where if a guy asks you that, he's definitely interested!!! But you have to look at other cues to determine that.

HayleyMarie · Accepted Answer

Is he a friend of yours? If that’s the case he may just be making small talk.
If you two are perhaps just acquainted then he may be curious because he sees some interest in you.
Have you had any other conversation that would lead you to believe he likes you more than a friend?

Anon621 · Answer

I dont think this is always true. Sometimes people are just genuinely curious if someone is taken but they have no interest in them. Let's say for example your closest friend who you have known for X amount of years is a guy. Let's say one day your just chilling and then he asks you if you are single. He could just be curious if you are taken for a number of reasons but not actually interested in you. Maybe since he's your best friend he wants to know what your romantic life is like because he wants you to be happy even if you are single or not. Maybe he actually is interested in you but won't directly admit it because he doesn't want to ruin the friendship. Or maybe he's like me and he directly tells someone after asking them why they are single why he asked the question to prevent sending mixed messages

Magnums94 · Answer

The answer is already in a question. By asking if you are single - he already is interested in you by wanting to find out the answer in the first place. But to make it simple - yes. If talking about myself then I would definitely be interested if I cared to ask if someone is single or not.

MissDawn7961 · Answer

he is either interested in U as a future girlfriend / wife or after he talks to U he can see why U R still single ! for maybe U R either self centered or there is some thing that makes U unattractive to him and may B most to most men in his opinion ! thanks

jshm2 · Answer

Depends on circumstances.

Not always a case of he's interested in you. Could be he's asking for someone else. Or lining you up for a punchline or joke.

ie. Are you single? yes? Good, there are enough ugly babies around. Can't have you adding to them as well.

WalterBlack · Answer

Either he is interested or he has a friend that would be. I think women are generally more inclined to play matchmaker. But occasionally guys will meet someone and think, "My friend would really like her".

Miristheiss · Answer

I'd say higher than 50%. It isn't a slam dunk... some could just be curious or making conversation but I'd say there is a decent chance they could be asking because they have interest in you.

WesBrewer · Answer

I've asked friends if they were single, just because I wanted to know if they were (they are females), although, at the same time I have asked crushes if they were single because I was interested, it isn't always a sign though.

TheorionMage · Answer

Put BLUNTLY... he determining allocation of effort and resources ~ He DOESN'T want to BE your new 'platonic' friend! ;)

RoyTr · Answer

Not necessarily, but very likely. It's a pretty awkward question that I usually try to avoid. If I ask it, I probably want to do something about. But that's just me, I'm sure it doesn't apply to all men.

Tiffany27 · Answer

Not always true. Some people are just curious about other people’s lives. Some people can’t think of any conversation staters and that’s the first thing that popped into their head.

TessCasie · Answer

yeah I have experienced that , its means he likes you finds you attractive. He is just trying to gauge whether you will be ok with him asking you out someday.

Arivor · Answer

Yes, that would be a strong indicator that he's interested in you. Either that or he's just setting you up to insult you... 🤷‍♂️

Melvinb6521 · Answer

He definitely is interested in the answer. But he could be asking for a friend. But he probably is asking for himself

Vviiccttoorr · Answer

LoL o would say yes, if not; then that’s unusual. I mean sure it’s possible but, most likely he definitely likes you

RingOfFire · Answer

He's interested. Keep in mind that guys are ALWAYS interested. Usually just interested in sex, but if he asks if you are single, it's almost certainly more than that.

Rabbagail · Answer

Think about it ur a guy u like this girl, ur gunna wanna know whether they are single or if you should drop it.

DeeDeeDeVour · Answer

I'd bet he is interested unless he works for a credit lender, a statistics office and/or an accounting firm.

StephenCF · Answer

Possibly. At least when I ask that question, it’s because I’m interested, otherwise I don’t care about those personal matters

DeeToPlay · Answer

There have been very few situations that I have posed that same question and wasn't interested in some kind of way

slatyb · Answer

Most likely, but it's a lame way to ask for a date. You could respond "Why? If you want a date, ask for one."

ronaldo75 · Answer

Not always. I have a female friend that I find attractive but I have interest in EVER dating her because she's sort of a mess. I ask her about who's she's dating and who she hooks ups with all the time.

serious · Answer

Tough to say but there is a chance he is interested. Yes.

DennisWatkins91 · Answer

I think he's interested. Such a question is rarely asked just like that.

Kiss_Me · Answer

True... but not as an absolute. He can other reasons for asking.

Nmalinova · Answer

Yes!! At least I believe so... why else would he ask? What would be his interest by knowing? 😊

AmandaYVR · Answer

Interesting that about 1/4 ask for different reasons.

BoobMan · Answer

Reasonably good guess. He could also be asking to know if you're a good candidate to set up with someone else.

Jennajay1719 · Answer

He could just ask that but doesn't mean he's single

DavidFox · Answer

False. He may be making conversation, he may know of a single friend to hook you up with, he may just be bored.

BCA6010 · Answer

Its a decent enough indicator, but I wouldn't accept it as a rule or law.

Finchie40 · Answer

True , if he wasn’t interested he wouldn’t of asked that question

FairEnough · Answer

It could be out of curiosity or to know how they should treat you also to know what you guys should talk about and what not.

Thatasianlove16 · Answer

I said true but it honestly depends on type context

PaganWarrior · Answer

Can be, but I think sometimes it can be just curiosity as to why you're still single as he thinks you're attractive. Even if he's taken.

Ronald_25 · Answer

Depends on the situation. If it's me asking and I'm already in a relationship, then in probably wingmanning a friend of mine.

haflelife · Answer

you should know if he is interested or not after your answer...

cmatt1633 · Answer

In most cases yes. He might just actually want to know because he is in a relationship or does not want to impede on yours. I'd say this is pretty rare though lol

Blueeyes81 · Answer

Generally true. I've mistook a woman asking me if I was single as interest. She was just a noisy curious individual. So I'd say most of the time yes but some people are just noisy.

MountAverage · Answer

That's not how it works, girl. You can't expect this to be true or false in general, you'll just have to accept that it CAN mean he's interested, or it doesn't.

Texaskid1 · Answer

Maybe.  It could just by a topic of conversation nothing more.

msc545 · Answer

Either he is single and interested, or he is a detective hired by your husband or boyfriend.

red324 · Answer

I usually ask if they're seeing someone at the moment, but yes I wouldn't ask if I wasn't interested.

PinkGiraffee · Answer

Mostly true. It means that he is curious to know if you are taken by someone to see if he has a chance

Twalli · Answer

I asked a girl once if she had a homecoming date. I had no intention of asking her out. I just knew she was considered attractive and wanted to know who asked her.

elly91 · Answer

I would say that 90% yes it's because he's interested..

Jacobthedude · Answer

I say there a good chance. He may be making small talk or asking for a friend tho. Its definitely a good hint however

Snickermarstwix · Answer

Dunno, as I never ask that question. So maybe it's just a casual question like when you ask it to a friend.

Liam_Hayden · Answer

Probably. Unless you are dating and your boyfriend sent one of his friends to see if you are faithful.

Tstrbrainer · Answer

Can't really tell, I've been asked this question by few women, but I don't think they were attracted towards me.  Maybe it's just a friendly talk

hellacray · Answer

No... He asked you if you're single cause he's doing a survey for school/work.

bannacookies · Answer

Usually that's the case, but I've had guys ask me only because they are nosy.

Anonymous · Answer

Well its either that or he finds small talk more interesting than xbox

CindyRuns · Answer

Why else would he ask?

DWornock · Answer

He is interested only if you don't want him to be interested.

Cataphractarii · Answer

Could be, yes. Or he is just trying to see which options he has with you.

na2398 · Answer

I ask many girls out of curiosity too. If I like her, I'll let her know. :)

Torari · Answer

Unless the question otherwise fits the context of the situation, yes.

Wise4myage · Answer

Yes, I think so. That is the only reason why I would ask that question.

seanras · Answer

Either he likes you, or trying to play matchmaker for someone he knows.

zagor · Answer

Unless he's taking a census or wants to know how many seats you need.
