"I dont get the concept of asking someone if you can ask them a question, why not just ask....?! "
Tell me about it, we've had it a fair few times on here!
Just ask the dam question 
It's the equivalent to putting your hand up in a classroom as a kid  |

I used to answer every message, but I'm so wearied by these messages (see also How are you, What ru upto, how are you finding the site) that I just delete without opening them now.
The art of conversation is slowly dying. |

It is a socially accepted way to ease into something that might be a personally awkward question, what it really is, though is manipulative. By asking a non question, the asker is being passively defensive. They are defending themselves from potentially negative reactions to the real question by posing an easy lead in, if the answer is ‘no’ they’re not the one being impolite, after all asking if you can ask has to be polite?!
By getting a ‘yes’ to this polite lead in question, you are already predisposed to positively answer the following question because you’ve have already partially agreed to it.’ |
