Getting to know you...

Getting to know people is a part of life. How do we get to know people? We ask questions...like I just did, right there. The funny thing to me is how different people approach the same questions. For example, people generally want to know what you find out on Facebook in the first five seconds. Where do you come from? What is your occupation? Are you in a relationship? Do you have kids? 

Every question I just posed can be asked a million different ways and in a different order. I am going to address how the last two questions have been posed to me lately. 

A coworker asked me, "Why don't you have a baby daddy?" I thought that was an inventive way to ask multiple questions at once. He was finding out if I have kids, a previous relationship, sex out of wedlock, etc. My answer was "...because I don't want a baby daddy, I want a hubby." 

The next interaction began in a similar manner. First question in the question game..."Do you have any kids?" This is getting weird! Why is the first question being asked about kids? Can we ease into this questioning. I mean kids come after a lot of other stuff happens first. Maybe we can use that as a guide, you know take me on a date, propose, get married, then have kids? I mean we are just talking here and I am already knocked up! I like to cater my answers to the individual I am speaking with. My answer this time was, "No this (I pointed to my left and ring finger), no this (I made a pregnant belly motion with my hands and arms)!" After some chatting the next question was "can I have your phone number?" The question after that was, "are you engaged?" Now that is an odd order of questioning, but it reveals a lot about my answer. Your approach to learning about others just might reveal a lot about you! 

Let me ask you a question...
How you doin ;) ?
