It is still the subject of much debate here in the UK. I found these comments on 'Hate Speech Laws' on the internet.

Why is the debate so controversial

"Criminalising the incitement of violence or threats “can be seen to be a justifiable limit on freedom of expression”, says Liberty. What is controversial “is the criminalisation of language (or behaviour) which may be unpleasant, may cause offence but which is not inciting violence, criminality etc”, the organisation adds.

Writing for Prospect magazine, Hugh Tomlinson QC argues that the problem lies with the lack of a UK constitution. “Free speech does not, historically, have the same primacy under English law [as the US],” he explains.

“A proper ‘written’ constitution sets limits on the powers of the institutions of government, but the loose and flexible set of rules that is described as Britain’s unwritten constitution sets no such limits.”

Writing in The Spectator, Lionel Shriver says the UK should follow the US playbook.

“Because the alternative is what the UK has now, and it will only get worse: government systematically legislating not just what we say but what we may believe.”

If it becomes 'hate speech' this is forbidden in the UK and the person can be prosecuted under the law.

From the Internet.
In common language, “hate speech” refers to offensive discourse targeting a group or an individual based on inherent characteristics (such as race, religion or gender) and that may threaten social peace.

You have to be careful these days, depends how, why and where you have met them, the situation will help you decide on any next step, be wary of soliciting or hidden agenda.

I think sometimes you can 'sense it' whether or not they are interested in you, even from the briefest of meeting, it depends on the conversation. However, I look to see if there is a ring on their finger first, if not, I would ask if they have boyfriend before asking if I can have their phone number and offer them my phone number, to maybe arrange a meet up.

Good topic, I know I must have missed chances of a possible date in the past by not asking the question when I should have, maybe I'm to cautious.

There is no answer that fits all situations in my opinion. If you have dated them before then listen to their excuse and maybe arrange another date. If this was a first date, then I agree with you, no second chances, unless there was really exceptional circumstances, accidents and the unexpected happens to us all at some point.

I believe it can happen with the right person, 'till death do us part', is the promise you make in a Christian wedding ceremony. Learn all about each other, becoming the best of friends and after courting for at least a year, you will both know if you want to take that very big step and marry. Many marriages do last a lifetime.
