25 Questions to Ask a Guy You Like

Asking questions is the easiest way to get to know someone. It shows that you’re thoughtful and that you’re interested in learning more about them. But thinking of questions to ask a guy you like can also be intimidating. What should you ask? What shouldn’t you ask? Should you try to be funny?

If you’re not sure which questions to ask a guy you like, don’t panic. We have 25 tried and true questions that guys will actually enjoy answering. Some are silly and some are serious, but all of them will help you get to know your crush better—and help him get to know you, too. Plus, they’ll show him that you’re thoughtful. Win-win.

Pro tip: Don’t fire these questions off one after another. You don’t want to go through them all at once! Remember, it’s a conversation, not an interrogation. You want to come off as thoughtful and interested, but you don’t want to always be the one doing the asking.
