you found that out i mean for me but i don't i don't know my like people it's hard sometimes but allison what do you what do you say i agree with grandma i think it's a rude question because implicit in it is like what's wrong with you please explain to me why this hasn't worked out yet right so that's not a great setup and then if you ask them something like are you seeing anyone i think that's appropriate if you're close with them i wouldn't necessarily ask someone in a work setting i think that could be awkward but

You want to be sensitive when you're asking these things, even though I think you're right that a lot of people do ask it and they think that they're being complimentary. It's not usually received that way.

having drinks or you're hanging out on the couch then it becomes a little more awkward so I think in the beginning say that you have something or say that you can stay for a certain amount of time and just commit in your mind to I'm gonna stick it out until that time and then you leave regardless of how it goes that's a good tip in other words on a first or second or even a third date say you know I really I'm working the next day I'd love to have dinner with you but I really have to make it an early night well I don't know do you have to preface it before you even get there or I don't think you have to say I want to have an early
