There’s definitely some additional nuance (like a pronouns in bio/username situation) but this should cover the broad needs of anyone who is approaching this with good faith.

    I see. But I think this was a bit too polite. In my opinion the better way to take off the edge would be to ask and then add ā€˜if you don’t mind me asking’ or If I may ask what country that is. Adding ā€˜if it’s okay to ask’ seems almost like he asked me for my address or something that it’s not okay to ask people about.
