how do you ask someone...

how do you ask someone that you like/have a crush on, their sexuality?

if this is in the wrong spot feel free to move

"Are you gay, straight, what?"

If they get butt hurt over it, they probably have something to hide, or are over sensitive bitches.

wait you have a crush on their sexuality?

Just kind of bring it up in conversation. I've asked people about their sexuality numerous times. Chances are, it will be a good test to see whether you stand a chance with them or not.

Literally just ask, don't necessarily say you have a crush on them. Just make it into a general conversation.

Well, that is a good one. If a guy don't come out or didn't say anyone it is hard to know their sexuality and hard to ask.

what do you mean ''a crush on their sexuality''?

I'm pretty chatty and a bit of a flirt most times too, so I just get a conversation going to gauge if the other person is showing some interest in me or not - thats usually a big clue, if someone isn't reciprocating or doesn't want to carry on the conversation it's usually a big sign that there isn't any interest there.

If the interest is there, usually a roundabout conversation with some hinting or innuendo gets the answer ;)

thanks for all of your responses. I think I know what to do now :)

Another tip, you could bring up past relationships they might have had and see if they say girlfriend or boyfriend or make a joke about it and say "so when was your last girlfriend... Or boyfriend?!" And usually they'll say they're straight and you can laugh it off or they'll say "oh yeah I had a boyfriend X long ago". Yeah thats the best way I've found to ask people.

^^^This.
Just because their sexual orientation means that you are the right gender, doesn't mean you have a chance, or are necessarily compatible.
Drop hints, have conversation, and see if they show interest, as that is the important part here.
Or you could just straight up (excuse the pun) ask them. If they have issue with you asking then you should probably steer well clear...
