Is it against the rules to ask personal questions about people on the forum?

That's what I would suggest too. It would often be off-topic. You could always ask for them to PM it to you in a post, but make sure that you also have contributed to the thread in that same post, otherwise you could get warn'd up for spamming.

However, if they don't wish to share the information with you don't persue them to tell. It is impolite.

Also, nobody will give out real information unless you spend some time on the forums earning their trust.

Oh most people won't care. Just ask for state if it is in the US, and country for everyone else.

You can usually tell whether or not you know people in real life; there are enough anecdotes and true short stories told here that anyone can be traced easily through a social network.
