Something someone usually says when they're about to ask you out or something else weird/(awesome if you like them too) like that.

Otherwise they are being lazy and are asking for a favor, it depends, if it's a text, be scared, if there having a conversation with you and you can see them or it's over the phone, your probably alight.

That question which often precedes "are you gay?"

This can come from anybody who has little experience going about somebody potentially in the closet, most of all those who don't know to avoid asking directly. That includes friends, co-workers, parents, cousins, family, and even other known gays.
Heterosexual: Hey, can I ask you something? Don't be offended. You don't need to answer if you don't want to.

Internally- panicking and closeted homosexual: Yeah, what is it?
Heterosexual: Are you gay?
