Is this question ever appropriate? I would think not but I've been asked this question so many times (and not just by the Asian doing my nails) that I'm beginning to think it might not be so uncouth after all.
I am wondering, however, what the appropriate response is."Uhh... I'm unattractive to the opposite sex?" "Uhh... My hair curls weird when it's humid?" "Uhh... it could actually be due to a number of unappealing aspects of my personality, the exact one of which I am not sure of at this time?"
I usually just go with the classic "I don't know"
Seriously though, what if its something people don't really want to get into? Like, boyfriends killed my family? Then how would the other person feel for asking that question? Not good, I'd imagine. And then they may feel obligated to offer some kind of comforting words, perhaps a shoulder may even be involved. Is this really what they were expecting when they asked why it is that no one wants to share their heart with you?
I think it is clear to see that this question should just be avoided altogether for the well being of both parties involved. Or maybe I'm just really bitter.
