Why do you wear the same clothes all the time? Why won't you give me your phone number? Are you married?

What it means

Our interpretation.

Three questions arrive back to back: why the same clothes, why no phone number, and whether the person is married. The speaker's curiosity reads as forward and perhaps a little frustrated, wanting to know about habits, availability and attachments all at once.
