My grandmother did this and honestly I hated it. I'm cis and still felt so uncomfortable that I asked not to see her. Preschool and up every time she pinched my cheeks and asked if I had girlfriend and it went on and on, do you want to call her, what is she like, I bet you're so cute.
I did not, in fact, have a girlfriend.
I still remember that grandma. I'm in my 30s and I remember hating that.
Why do people ask that to kids?
I guess because it's seen as hitting a developmental milestone. Still creepy, though. I'm fortunate in that literally none of my family would ever pry about partners nor kids.
My grandparents have asked that before. Felt strange as one time they asked while I was texting my bf at the time
