Audtioning is like dating

As a single woman there was nothing I hated more than that question "So. . . are you seeing anyone?".  Because if you are seeing anyone you will more than likely talk about it and if you are NOT then the last thing you want to do is talk about how you are NOT seeing someone.  Its the same for auditioning.  I know that people mean well when they ask "So .  . . have you had any auditions lately" but I'm taking this moment to let you know that that is not an ok thing to ask.  If somebody has auditions going on, they will talk about it, if they don't they need not your salt in the wound.  Its the same for after an audition, if you know someone who has auditioned there is no need to ask "Have you heard about your audition?" or "Did you get that job you went out for?" Chances are if they did they would have told you.  I am not meaning to be snarky or hurtful, just taking this moment to educate friends and family of actors on the proper protocol for audition questions.  I guess I should  say, "struggling actors" if your friends with Brad Pitt or whatever, I am sure you can ask him how his audition went, but I'm pretty sure he doesn't even have to audition anymore.
