What's your style of asking someone their birthday and when?

If I'm curious, I just ask. People think I'm quirky regardless, to be honest.

I was taking a walk with my boyfriend, his brother, and their friend when I wanted to know my BF's brother's sign.
They were having a conversation about physics. My BF's brother is brilliant at math. Anyway, I was in my own head, and I had to have my question answered.

Me: "When's your birthday?"
Him: "Huh?..."
Me: "I want to know your sign, so when were you born?"

Because it was on my mind and I just asked, it was odd to him because I didn't put any effort into trying to ease into it.

He's my opposite sign, libra, by the way. He has a cancer GF. The friend was Scorpio. The physics discussion turned into an astrology and then astronomy and then mythology one. Good times.
