i mean,i'm a person who's exactly like that.when i meet someone new,i always want to know a lot abt them,because i like people a lot.each person is unique.i ask people questions abt them a lot in a friendly manner(not abt there private life,just abt them in general).but i'm not sure whether they actually like that or find it harrassing.sometimes people don't ask me questions like that back & i get the feeling that they may not be as interested in me as i am interested in them,so with those people i keep it on a low level.
am i being too inquisitive?too friendly that people get put off?do people really like other people who inquires abt them a lot?am i just being annoying?
please try to give your personnal views on this.thanks for all your answers.appreciate it!

Yes, most people would rather associate with someone who is positive and reflect that energy onto others by inquiring about them and earnestly desiring to know them. This also helps to drown (figuratively speaking of course) the anti-social derivative that seems to plague society. Take it slow though it sounds like you are fishing for too much information for initial meet and greets. Time is what is required to completely get to know an individual. When one does not ask questions in return use that as a sign that you have asked too much and you need to reel yourself back in. Hang in there!

I can only speak for myself. If you're not offending to the senses & you're appealing, then let the talks begin =0p...
That being said. Too much of anything can be bad. If you ask too many questions or get too personal, that can push a nice "Get To Know You" to make an excuse to get away from this nosey psycho b!otch.
Assess each situation, and read their body language & facial expressions. That should give you a hint that you're annoying them or not =0p...

No not at all. when you meet someone that you have an interest in, how are you going to know what their likes and dislikes, hobbies. etc if you don't ask. Lots of people are outgoing and tend to do lots of things to keep themselves busy. Sometimes some people like to keep things about themselves to themselves maybe they are shy or maybe they just don't want anyone to know anything about them. the only way to know things about a person is to ask.

No keep it up, I personally like a person like that.
Usually it comes out in your personality if you are asking through interest.
some people may not accept this, but if you are a person like that, you actually have the upper hand, though that is not what you are seeking.
no matter, just be yourself.
