Thread: A question to a girl

Hello everyone.
The following question is bugging me for some time now. Need to know how do u ask a Girl if she's single, like: -"May i ask u something, Are u single?" In russian please Any suggestions will be appreciated.
Thanks

Вы замужем? или Ты замужем?

но может быть хотите тогда спросить--

У Вас/тебя бойфрэнд?

What about: ты холоста?

Yea definitly. My goal is to keep it rediculously simple, like: -"есть бойфрэнд?
But boyfriend sound just a little intrusive, may be there's a bit milder word?
Thanks

How about:

у тебя нет человека?
есть кое-кто?

The word "холостой" can be used only with reference to a man.

How about, Твое "место" свободное?

that's how i would understand those phrases
ты свободная? - have you already got out of a prison?
у тебя нет человека? - don't you have a servant/bodyguard/killer?
есть кое-кто? - do you conceal the spy in your home?
твое "место" свободное? - may i sit down at your place?

My suggestions:

"Девушка, у вас есть молодой человек?"
"Девушка, у вас есть парень?"

These phrases are not exactly equal, but I have no time to explain the nuances now. You may use the first one without any caution, this is the most polite variant I know.

Thats a nice crack coming from a girl, thanks. U didnt provide an opinion of your own thou.

Subcomunicative meaning is what realy closes the deal in that case.
Guys: Thanks for replies. That may sound harsh, but openheartedly those four are realy subcomunicating: -"Have a place for a potential mate". That approach will lead nowhere

Rostova: (i wud raither call u by a name). Im curious what a Girl wud like to here from a guy, asking her "-are u single". What a feminine idea of that musculine question?

I guess "есть бойфрэнд?"taking a lead for now (Bcuz there is a touch of "humor" going on, and humor is everything in this case). But i wud like to think about something realy "cool", realy "safe" so to speak. What do u all think?

But those are important questions that should be asked BEFORE you ask whether she is single.

U'r absolutely right, but since it's not a "Dating/Relationships" forum im not going to expand on too many so so *important* questions (which are realy very few). Besides i didn't have anything of a trouble with "representing my self" questions. Its usually very smooth going proccess, but when it gets to qualifyers like "-are u single", it seems like russian is not designed for that sort of question. It has to be crisp, funny, and simple!!!!!!!!ARE U SINGLE
Whats up guys, no steping up to a "challenge"? Kmooooon :P

Female opinion will be apprechiated

The standard form is as follows:
У тебя есть кто-нибудь?

In Russian it is more about a context. In right context you can ask " У Bас есть кто- нибудь?"; "Вы замужем?"; "Вы встречаетесь с кем-нибудь?".

ooh, how about this one:

ТЫ ОДИНОКА?

No. It does not ring right. одинокий = lonely, solitary; lone ; lonesome

Well, wouldn't it work in this context? If she is lonely, that means she probably is single A very easy sentence to say, crisp like a fresh tortilla!
