Are you nosey, when chatting with people do you ask lots of questions?
I think there’s a difference between being nosey and being interested.
I’ve known people ask questions like how much do you earn and the like, it’s a bit different to what’s your favourite book isn’t it. |

Connecting with someone on a personal level, where asking questions and answering direct with no hidden agenda, only the want to get to know them on a personal level. And imagine that being reciprocated… that is what it’s all about isn’t it?
Or FAF?  |

"I have a bad habbit of asking lots of questions, and always have. It's not necessarily that I'm nosey, im just trying to maintain conversations and learn about who im talking to."
I don’t see that as nosey but engaging. It’s not the asking the questions though, it’s what you do with the answers isn’t it. |

I just ignore a lot of questions in conversations and move it into something else.
I tend to listen more and say what is enough to keep the flow going. Though i am very good at steering / manipulation of conversations direction if needed .

Is that to be evasive or just when you find the questions are too intrusive? |

So yes, I do like to ask questions and like to be asked things myself. Otherwise we just show what’s on the surface. And that’s shallow. People are so much deeper, and if I like someone, I ask lots and sometimes too many questions.  |

I can at times ask questions that might seem a bit personal, although I wouldn't say it's being nosey (obviously I would think that). I'm one of those annoying people and follow a question with "if you don't mind me asking", as if that makes a difference because I've already asked the question  |

I'd ask enough questions to keep a conversation going but I'd never ask anything too personal like how much someone earns, that's nowt to do with me.
I'm more likely to ask someone what style/colour pants are their favourite |

Pinocchio, he's who I'm calling big nose. The little liar.
I do ask questions if someone has made a statement of asked me a question and I want to understand it more. I don't just ask personal questions out of the blue. |

Engaging is exactly what I'm aiming for |
