Ngl, imagine a guy asking you if you liked [insert race] that you (in your right mindedness) didnt feel super strongly about or even really liked. You’d probably be thrown off by the question regardless. That said, if they like you and are FUCKING NORMAL, they’ll say “yeah” and the yaps will carry on. Any reaction more negative than a “yeah” is indicative of some you didnt wanna date. There is no way to ask “w/o making it weird” as it is an inherently weird question. Not weird of YOU for asking,
