Hi!
I’ve noticed that in my country, people often ask quite personal questions not only when they first meet, but also when they’re just casual acquaintances – like coworkers you’re friendly with, joke around with, but aren’t very close to.
For example, it’s normal to ask things like “Are you married?”, “Do you have a partner?”, or even someone’s age. In my country it is normal.
Is that considered okay in the other countries, or would it feel too personal?
What topics are generally safe (or not safe) to talk about in that kind of relationship?
