I'm a Scorpio. What else is there to say

When you are dating someone do you resist the urge to ask them their birth date/sign or do you ask them right off the bat? I went on a date last week and it was going "okay". Everything inside of me is telling me this man is a Cancer, but I didn't ask. I didn't ask him his sign largely because I just wanted to enjoy his company and get to know him and his personality over time. Isn't that the point of building a relationship? An hour into the date he asks me what my sign is... okay Smiley here it comes. I tell him, but don't ask him his. That seem to bother him a bit Smiley.

The date comes to an end and I still have no idea what his sign is. Initially, as I stated because I simply didn't care. I won't lie, I WAS curious, but refuse to ask. Part of the reason I stated above, but the other reason was because when I saw that it bothered him and that he was "gently" trying to get me to ask him, it then became a bit of a game for me. I'm thinking since he's so into signs that he should know that little ploy wasn't going to work on a Scorpio right? Smiley.

So the question...

Have you ever resisted the urge to learn someone sign when you are dating until it become unavoidable (e.g you've dated long enough and their birthday is about to roll around) and if so, why?

If you are the type of person that likes/needs to know, why?

I hate when I ask people when their birthday is and they say, "Oh, in August."... I didn't ask what month you were born in, I asked when is your BIRTH DAY!!...


Yup, that bothers the hell out of me too. I don't always ask though. Only if the person intrigues me in some way, then I "need" to know so I can figure them out and what buttons to push. I'm trying to stop that though.

I'm a Cancer male. ===

Well, I don't ask directly what their sign is but I try to find that out by asking or coming up with something that has to do with our/their birth date. I don't like to make myself look weird or strange because most women, I assume, don't expect men to be into Astrology so there're are other ways to get that kind of information.

As I mentioned in another thread, I met a Gemini in summer school and today out of nowhere I asked her and the other lady that sits with us their birth date. I lie, I didn't ask them, I told them to write their birth dates down on a piece of paper so both of them did but they both gave me this weird look. I just told them that with that information I was going to describe them and I was going to write some kind of a story but the couldn't ask me how I was going to do it. So and as I expected, I had their attention for the entire class and both were asking me questions. Women curiosity I should say lol

Im always comfortable asking people what "month they were born in"....

I have yet to have someone tell me to mind my treetrunking business.
so im sticking with that technique.

Again I love astrology cause most females know about it or are curious....and thats all a man should need, is a little window to get to know a woman.

It never even crossed my mind to ask them. I haven't been on a date in awhile. I am very slow and cautious with relationships, and my last two relationships started as a flirtatious friendship (no sex.lol). So, I usually find out their sign pretty early on- especially with the advent of facebook and twitter nowadays. But meeting someone for the first time, it is fun to play a game of Guess Their Sign. I don't particularly care if people think I'm weird for liking astrology. I will mention it and take note of their reaction. Open minds are sexy.
Anyway I usually know their sign before an official "date".

Ahhhh....I dated a guy for a millisecond a while back and I remember on our date the conversation of birthday came up. I brought it up, but innocent enough. He asked me my plans for the weekend and I said I was going to a (friend's) birthday party. His response was so over the top to the point I thought WTF is wrong with him? I didn't even ask him his sign. I believe (sorry, it was so long ago) my words were "Yeah he's such a momma's boy. Sort of typical for his sign" (said with love). His response: "So let me guess you're into horoscopes and you're gonna ask me my sign" Smiley...uh....what? No actually I wasn't going to. I really don't know enough about signs to determine what traits belong to what someone's sign is, except for my own or the few I have had long relationships with (e.g friends, family, lovers). I just never knew what that was about. Bad break up with a chart reader? Smiley. Now I know. Found out later he's a Cap.

I think if birthdays come up in conversation then it tends to happen naturally but I don't go out of my way to find it out initially.
