AITA for being slightly annoyed & genuinely not understanding the relevance of asking “ How long have you been single?” Especially if you’re asking this before you ask what my name is.

i mean kinda, if you’re always in a relationship then i probably don’t wanna be in one with you bc you don’t know how to be independent. it’s at the very least a valid question. not here to be your parent and emotional crutch

I mean i wouldn’t wanna start talking to someone who’s JUST got out of a relationship cuz there could be drama and hurt feelings

Seems like a regular question to me not sure why that triggered you. Maybe look inward?

Before the asking of the name is kinda of crazy… but some people may just say it as a way to ask if you’re taken or not in the first place at that point then?

Where are people asking you this? Obviously not dating apps because they’d know your name already. Here? To your face? I think that will help determine why the question keeps being relevant Nta though

What led to the question? Was it in context with what you guys were discussing?

No, I understand your point of view but is that a question you would ask someone before asking their name?

What makes it a "regular question" to you though?

Triggered ??? Thats a bit dramatic. I simply said it annoyed me. The timing of the question is more of an issue than the actual question.
