Frequently asked questions
What are good questions to ask a girl?
Ask about things she enjoys talking about: a place she wants to travel, a show she can rewatch forever, or the best advice she ever got. Questions with a little story behind them work better than yes-or-no ones. Skip anything about her looks, her exes, or her body early on.
How do you start a conversation with a girl you like?
Keep it simple and genuine. Mention something you both have in common or something on her profile, then ask a light question about it. Be relaxed and friendly rather than trying to impress her. If she answers with energy and asks you back, that is a good sign to keep going.
What should you ask a girl over text?
Over text, short and playful questions work best: her favorite comfort food, the last thing that made her laugh, or her ideal lazy Sunday. Save longer, deeper questions for when you talk in person or on the phone, where tone and timing are easier to read.
What questions should you avoid asking a girl?
Avoid questions about her weight, her past relationships, how much she earns, or anything sexual when you do not know her well. Also skip the interview-style rapid fire. If a question would make you uncomfortable coming from a stranger, it probably will make her uncomfortable too.
