Is it bad form to ask for an update?
In the Living and Sexuality forums, there are several posts asking for advice on how to ask out, or reveal true feelings to an object of desire. After a string of helpful replies, we often don't get an update on how the attempt has gone.
The poster has openly invited us into his or her situation and a follow up would encourage a broader sharing of experience. After all, why should a forum be limited explicity to the original post?
On the other hand, I don't want to be nosey and the poster has the right not to share further. Is it bad form to baldly ask for an update?
