The Best 21 Questions To Ask A Guy

Trying to get to know a guy? There are only so many times you can text "what's up". Unfortunately, guys won't just come right out and start spilling their deepest secrets. And that's exactly what these 21 questions are for.  They'll help you uncover a guy's values, hopes, and dreams. And here's the best part - you won't run out of things to say. Plus, they will lead to a great conversation.

1. What is your biggest regret and why?

This is an interesting question that gives you a peek into the kind of person they are. After all, everyone makes mistakes. You want to see whether he acknowledges his mistakes and whether he accepts them and moves on or is consumed by regret.

2. How do you know if someone is your true love?

Find out what their love language is. Do they like words of affirmation, acts of service, or receiving gifts. This is an opportunity for you to discover the things you can do to show him you love him.

3. If you could listen to only one song for the rest of your life, what song would you choose?

4. What is your most favorite memory?

Our memories make us who we are. Some of our fondest memories include birthdays, holidays, and anniversary celebrations spent with loved ones. This is your chance to relish the favorite childhood memory of the guy you love with the same fondness and intrigue he does.

How To Make 21 Questions To Ask A Guy More Interesting

The ability to ask questions without boring the guy to death is hugely underrated. You need to develop the skills needed for asking more interesting questions.

1. Avoid Steering as Much as Possible

A leading question subtly prompts the guy to answer your questions in a particular way. For example, “did you have any problems with your ex?” is a leading question since it presupposes that there were problems. The right question would be – “tell me about your relationship with your ex.”

2. Dig Deeper with Follow Up Questions

Make a habit of asking follow-up questions unless you’re strictly looking for facts. For example, you might ask, “why do you think that is?” or “why do you say that?”

3. Less is More

Ask one question at a time. Avoid questions such as “What do you do for a living, what inspired you, and what do you hope to achieve?” You will confuse a guy and they'll be unlikely to answer any of your questions satisfactorily.

4. Listen and Don’t Interrupt

Avoid interrupting the guy when he’s talking. Ask a question and give him time to respond without constantly interrupting their train of thought. Listen to what he’s saying even when you think he’s veered off the topic. You can always redirect him back to the topic with a follow-up question.

5. Ask Open Ended Questions

Asking closed questions that can be answered with a Yes or No will be a yawn-inducing experience for him. You might also not learn much about him doing this. Questions with “should”, “is”, “would”, “are”, and “do you think” lead to a yes or no answer. Questions with “what”, “who”, “when”, “where”, “why”, or how to lead to more engaging conversations.
