There are different ways to approach asking your crush questions, so it's important to understand what you're trying to accomplish.

  • Are you trying to get to know them better? Ask deep questions that prompt meaningful responses.
  • Are you trying to make them laugh? Ask them funny questions to see if you have a compatible sense of humor.
  • Are you trying to make yourself look good? Ask them questions that will make a good impression and showcase your best assets.
  • Are you trying to get them home with you? Ask them flirty questions to make sure you're on the same page.

Targeting the questions you ask your crush will help you get to your end goal, whatever that may be.

Once you decide what type of questions to ask your crush, now you want to make sure that they make sense to the other person.

  • Personalize your questions so they make sense to your crush, though you'll want to use their name directly sparingly. Some people can find that creepy.
  • Focus on your crush's interests. They will be more likely to talk and appreciate that you pay attention to them.
  • Keep questions open-ended so it keeps the conversation flowing. There's nothing worse than one-word answers when you're trying to keep a conversation going.
  • When in doubt, make them laugh. If you're not sure where to start, crack a joke. It's a fantastic way to break the ice. Just keep it clean - for now.

It's normal to be nervous at first, but once you start talking, the conversation will start to feel more natural.

  • What's your favorite movie? What's your favorite TV show? These questions will help you learn if you're going to binge the next big series together or catch the latest blockbuster. It will help see if you have common interests and open the conversation up for further discussion about everything from your favorite characters or why a character is the worst.
  • What kind of music do you enjoy listening to? You can follow it up by asking who their favorite musical artist is, what their favorite song is, what the best concert they've ever seen, and so on. Musical preference is a great way to make people feel more comfortable because they've often got a lot to say.
  • When was the last time you spent way too much money? This is a fun one to see what they like to buy themselves or spend their time. You can learn if they are more of a thing person or an experience person.
  • If you could meet one famous person, dead or alive, who would it be and why? Learning about a person's heroes can tell you a lot about the person they aspire to be.
  • Tell me something about yourself in ten words or less. This is an open-ended question that the person can take anywhere! It also takes thought to boil something down to just a few words, so they have to consider their fact carefully.
