What are subtle ways to ask someone if they are in a relationship?

[Jannes]

I am in this situation quite frequently but never know how to ask without being super obvious and direct about it. 

Need some tipps.

If you ask directly its like asking her if she is interested romantically or sexually. Its quite high stakes. You want to be chill.

Why do you want to be chill?

To get along

Good one is ask what qualities they value in the opposite sex. When they answer, say so did you ever find such a person. Or more cheeky: And how is that working out for you?

I don’t want to ask, better to just flirt with them. This way they have the convenience of telling me that they have a partner if they do or lie if they’re not interested.

Drawbacks include, they can cheat. Furthermore they can have a bf who gets upset

So you are people pleasing?

By the way, having huge balls is advantageous with girls. None remembers a coward
