Looking for a may not be as direct as you think it is. Well, for some, they prefer to directly ask the girl if she's single. However, there is also a charm in being low key, and if you operate like this, then it's fine as well.
If you don't want to be so straightforward since this is not your style, then there are several ways that you could do to ask if one is single without being too obvious.
If you're already eyeing someone and would want to know if you have a chance of dating her, then these are some ways that you can ask about her status without being so head-on:
1. Check Out Her Social Media
The easiest and safest way to find out about a girl's status is by simply visiting her social media accounts. You can simply ask her what her user accounts are or simply just let your common friends know so that they'll refer her to you.
You don't have to dig too deep when checking out her social media accounts. If she's not single, she'll most likely have a recent post of her with a special someone. You can also see what her relationship status is. It's quick, simple, and you won't be so obvious. Still, some may not post all personal information online. So, you'll have to dig a little deeper if you'd really want to know.
2. Talk About Something Clearly Romantic
Discussing a romantic topic may not necessarily mean that you'll flat out ask her out on a date right away. Of course, you'll have to be sleek in firing these questions. First, find a time where you can talk to her comfortably. It can be done privately when you happen to meet her or even through text or chat.
Once you have her attention, this is where you smoothly slide in some questions that revolve around romance. It could be as simple as asking her what her idea of a perfect date is. Chances are, if she's not single, she'll eventually talk about how she spends a romantic day with her partner.
You could even ask about certain events like Valentine's day when the time permits it. Say something like “What were you doing last Valentine's?” She'll most likely talk about how her day went either with her partner or with friends and family members if she's single. Doing these will let you know of her status in a low key and smooth manner.
3.Ask a Common Friend About Her
If you're lucky to have a friend who knows her, then you can drop a simple question and just ask what her relationship status is. This is an advantage if you have mutual friends. What's great about this is you won't only get an answer, but your mutual friend could even help bridge you together with if she's single and open to date.
If you're even more curious, you can ask about what her dating life is, what her ideals are, or what makes her swoon. This is a brilliant way to not only build rapport with a mutual friend, but you're also getting to know her without the risk of heartache or getting turned down since you're simply just asking about her current dating status from a safe point of view.
4. Mention About Her
There is a fine line between being too obvious when asking about her and just downplaying it by assuming that she is carried. Just casually drop questions like “Have you and your boyfriend been to this place?” Simply asking this will just make you appear like you're casually interested to know whether she's been to that place and not because you want to know if she's single.
This trick will surely work if you're confident and smooth enough to make it sound like you're just nonchalantly asking questions. If she's single, she'll eventually reveal that she's not in a relationship, and this is what we're aiming for her to disclose. If she's not, then you can let go and move on to the next.
5. Tell Them You're Single
There are several ways to do this. You can just say that you're using a dating app, and see how she reacts. If she'll tell you that she's on a dating app too, then this is a clear and positive indicator that she's available. This is a good sign, so just go ahead and ask her out. You can also just admit that you're single. There's high a chance that she'll reciprocate and tell her what her relationship status is too.
While this may take some boldness, there's nothing to risk at all, to begin with. You have not invested anything so much, so it's not as troubling when you find out she's not single. This way is straight to the point even if you're not directly asking her if she's single or not. Let's just hope she'll tell you back.
There's no right and wrong when it comes to dating. If you want to be upfront, you can do this since we have different ways of starting a relationship. However, if your style is more on being discreet at first before making a full-on move, then these simple tips are great ways to engage with a potential and know what her relationship status is. Have fun dating and best of luck!
