I Love a Good Conversation

Why do people ask "Can I ask you something?" in the middle of a convesration???

When they just asked me questions, I asked them questions and then they ask to ask a question..in the middle of a conversation of questions....hahah

Only time I've done that is when I'm going to ask something that truly needs permission before I ask. Like something deeply personal. It also could be that the question being asked is scary. I.e. Can ask you some thing? .... Sure..... do you like me? I've never done that one but I've heard others do it.

@TallJames why does something need permission? you have to go to the bathroom?

I love it when that happens. Gives me the opportunity to tell them "no, what do you think I am, an information desk?" or say "sure you can as long as you don't mind me lying to you." Either way it seems to break up the tension of some sort of bizarre question coming that someone feels the need to ask for permission to say.

I'll generally just do it to make people think I'm going to ask them something important before asking the most benign question possible

Maybe they need to add "something very personal" or "something you might feel uncomfortable answering"
