He asked me if I was married twice?

[hello2024]

He asked me 3 weeks ago if I was married and he pointed to my ring (by the way I had my ring on my right hand) and I explained to him that it was purity ring. (He chose it with the pastor, for everyone who wanted one about a year ago)(he may have forgotten what it looks like) but anyway, he was like oh yeah ok, I remember. Then today (the first time I see him since that day) in one of our convos he asked me again “you married?” And I said no again and it was on my right hand. Not my left. What is the point of him asking me twice? Did he forget and ask the same question twice? Was he trying to figure out if I was single? What do you guys think? Is he interested in me if he asked twice? Like whatttt is going on with that? It’s just kinda sus and I need someone’s point of view on it

That's kind of a weird thing for him to ask you twice like that. A few possibilities:

- He totally forgot you already told him it was a purity ring and not a wedding ring. Sometimes guys aren't the best at remembering details.

- He was just making casual conversation by asking about your relationship status. But asking twice does seem a bit unnecessary for just small talk.

- He may have an interest in you and was hoping you'd say you were single both times. By asking again, it reassures him of your status without directly asking if you're interested.

- Could also just be his way of subtly bringing up the topic of dating so he can gauge your reaction and see if you give any signs you may like him too.

Honestly, my gut says there's a good chance he likes you. Why else ask the same question repeatedly like that? I'd say try smiling and chatting with him a bit more next time you see him. Flirt back a little and see how he responds. He's probably just wondering if you're on the same page as him. Give it a try - I bet there could be something there!

First of all what is the context of him.
Is he a relative, friend, boyfriend, work colleague this might help us determine why he is asking?

Secondly yes your wearing it on your right hand but as I have learned from my Polish fiancé not all cultures wear wedding or engagement rings on the left hand as she wears the engagement ring on her right hand.
Also not all men are knowledgeable about ring fingers.

We are friends but we don’t talk much.

Men can be so intrusive.
