I personally don't have a problem with it.

Generally, no, although sometimes there are better ways of asking it.

I'm a guy, but one of my favorite ways of being asked that question is "Why don't you have a girlfriend?"

Like that, you could ask "Why don't you have a boyfriend?" It's sort of an indirect way of asking the question.

Interesting way of asking punisher.

I guess we're all different and i prefer the straight out approach.

If you want to be really subtle, you could ask them something like, "That's a really nice (bracelet/ring/watch/necklace/etc.). Did your boyfriend buy that for you?" Her answer will tell you if she's involved or not.

I would guess that most girls if they suspect a man may be interested will drop the boyfriend line to keep the guy at bay.If you guys have talked for awhile and she hasn't mentioned it she could be interested and not have a boyfriend or she may have a boyfriend but he might be on the way out and she is testing your interest.I think asking her directly will immediately signal to her that you are interested.Your best bet is to probably ask her out for drinks or whatever and see how she responds.

I think it's okay as long as a) you aren't a stranger and b) if I say I am single you don't assume that I'm available.

Yeah I would just assume she didn't have a boyfriend and act accordingly. Girls will normally bring this up early to avoid misunderstanding

Don't ask if they are single, ask them out on a date. You'll get your answer without giving them a potential excuse, plus you would have shown the initiative to go for what you want rather than checking to see if the coast was clear first.
