this is not a Chinese way of doing business (hassling you etc).

Do they ever ask in a job interview 有房有车？

For some jobs in the States it is very common to ask if the person has a reliable way to get to work. Yet, I don't think that counts as flirting.

One is also not supposed to ask about martial status during job interviews here. But I would think that would be an important question while dating.

Kungfu?

LOL. I knew that looked wrong when I typed it, but my spelling checker didn't flag it, so I instead of stopping for 2 seconds to think I blindly trusted technology.....

Hey, it's still better than "marital arts", a related and even more hilarious typo.

[jbradfor]

Although that would be a good dating question as well.....

You're cracking me up. And, though even more OT, why would Chinese spot a single small stroke that's missing from a hanzi at once, but never notice a typo like that (in spite of years of exposure...)?
