50 Questions to Ask Your Crush to Spark Deep Connections

You're texting your crush, and things are going well. You've made it past the "what do you do" small talk. You've exchanged memes. You've established that you both like pizza (groundbreaking).

But now you're stuck in surface-level purgatory, and you want to go deeper without making it weird.

Here's the problem: Most people ask boring questions.

"What's your favorite color?"

"Do you have siblings?"

"What kind of music do you like?"

These questions are fine, but they're not going to create that "I feel like I've known you forever" connection you're looking for.

Good questions do three things:

• Reveal something interesting about them
• Show something interesting about you (through your question choice)
• Create conversation threads you can build on

This is your ultimate question bank—50 questions organized by depth level, with explanations for why they work and how to use them.

How to Use This List (Important!)

DON'T:

• Interview her by rapid-firing questions
• Ask deep questions too early (you'll seem intense)
• Use these as a script (that's weird)

DO:

• Pick questions that match your current conversation depth
• Share YOUR answer first (or right after hers)
• Build on her answers instead of jumping to the next question
• Mix in observations and stories between questions

The flow should feel like a natural conversation, not a questionnaire.

Level 1: Icebreakers (Early Conversations)

These are safe, fun questions for when you're just getting to know each other.

1. If you could live in any fictional universe, where would you choose?

Why it works: Reveals what kind of media she's into + her fantasy escape. Also super fun to discuss.

Follow-up: "OK but would you be a main character or just vibing as a side character?"

2. What's the most embarrassing thing you believed as a kid?

Why it works: Gets her laughing while sharing something personal (but not TOO personal).

Example answers:

• "I thought teachers lived at school"
• "I believed chocolate milk came from brown cows"

Your move: Share YOUR embarrassing childhood belief too.

3. If you had to eat one meal for the rest of your life, what would it be?

Why it works: Food is an easy topic, and this question adds a fun "survival scenario" twist.

Pro tip: Her answer tells you where to take her on a first date.

4. What's a skill you've always wanted to learn but haven't yet?

Why it works: Reveals her interests and aspirations without being too serious.

Bonus: If you share that skill, offer to teach her (instant date idea).

5. What's your go-to karaoke song? (Or what would it be if you HAD to choose)

Why it works: Fun, low-stakes, and reveals music taste.

Follow-up: "OK but are you a 'close your eyes and give it your all' performer or a 'laugh through the whole song' person?"

6. If you could have dinner with anyone dead or alive, who would it be?

Why it works: Classic question, but her answer tells you a lot about her values.

Make it better: Add "And what's the first question you'd ask them?"

7. What's the weirdest compliment you've ever received?

Why it works: Gets her talking about herself in a positive (but funny) way.

Your move: Have a weird compliment story ready to share too.

8. Are you a morning person or a night owl?

Why it works: Practical compatibility check disguised as small talk.

Follow-up: "So if we got breakfast you'd either be fully functional or basically a zombie, good to know"

9. What's something you're weirdly competitive about?

Why it works: Shows her personality quirks. Everyone has that ONE thing they refuse to lose at.

Example answers:

• Board games
• Trivia
• Who can finish their food first

10. If you could instantly become an expert in one thing, what would it be?

Why it works: Similar to #4 but focuses on instant mastery, which changes how people answer.

Difference:

• "Learn" questions → hobbies
• "Expert" questions → dream skills/careers

Level 2: Getting Real (Building Connection)

These questions go deeper but aren't too intense. Use these once you've been talking for a while.

11. What's something you're passionate about that people don't usually know about you?

Why it works: Invites her to share something personal that doesn't come up in normal conversation.

Follow-up: Ask specific questions about that passion. Show genuine interest.

12. What's the best piece of advice you've ever received?

Why it works: Reveals her values and what wisdom has stuck with her.

Your move: Share yours too. This creates mutual vulnerability.

13. If you could relive one day of your life, what would it be?

Why it works: Gets her talking about a meaningful memory.

Note: This is more interesting than "what's your favorite memory" because "relive" implies she wants to experience it again.

14. What's something you believed about relationships/life that turned out to be completely wrong?

Why it works: Philosophical without being heavy. Shows how she's grown.

Warning: Don't turn this into relationship trauma-dumping. Keep it thoughtful but light.

Why it works: Reveals how she likes to spend her time and what makes her happy.

Pro tip: Look for date ideas in her answer.

16. What's something that made you who you are today?

Why it works: Deep question that lets her share as much or as little as she wants.

Follow-up: Listen more than you talk here. This is a big question.

17. What's your love language?

Why it works: Directly addresses how she likes to give/receive affection.

Note: If she doesn't know, explain the 5 types (Words of Affirmation, Quality Time, Physical Touch, Acts of Service, Receiving Gifts) and ask which resonates.

18. What's a problem you're trying to solve in your life right now?

Why it works: Shows you're interested in her current journey, not just her fun facts.

Your move: Offer genuine advice or support (but don't try to "fix" everything).

19. When do you feel most like yourself?

Why it works: Thoughtful question that reveals when she's happiest and most authentic.

Example answers:

• "When I'm with my close friends"
• "When I'm creating something"
• "When I'm alone in nature"

20. What's something you wish more people knew about you?

Why it works: Invites her to share something she feels is important but often overlooked.

When to ask: Only when you're already clearly into each other. Otherwise it's too much pressure.

How to Actually Use These Questions

Pro Tips:

• Don't ask questions back-to-back. Weave them into natural conversation.

• Share YOUR answer too. Don't interrogate. Exchange.

• Build on her answers. "Oh you said you love hiking—have you done [specific trail]?"

• Save the deep ones for the right moment. Don't hit her with #27 while you're texting about tacos.

• Actually listen. The best follow-up question is one you couldn't have asked without hearing her answer.

Save Her Answers (The Smart Way)

Here's the thing: she's going to tell you important stuff in these conversations.

Her favorite food. Her biggest fear. What makes her feel loved. The name of her childhood dog.

If you forget these details, you're toast.

That's where our AI Wingman comes in:

How it works:

• After your conversations, input key details into the AI
• The AI builds a long-term memory of everything she tells you
• Before your next date, ask: "What should I remember about her?"
• Get a summary of her interests, preferences, and important stories

Never forget:

• Her favorite flowers
• That inside joke from 3 weeks ago
• Her friend's name that she mentions
• What she's stressed about

Final Thoughts

Good questions don't interrogate—they invite.

They say: "I want to know you. Not just the surface stuff, but the real you."

The best connections happen when both people feel genuinely curious about each other.

So stop asking boring questions. Stop treating conversations like interviews. Start asking things that actually matter.

And remember: The goal isn't to "get through" all 50 questions. It's to have ONE great conversation that makes both of you excited to keep talking.
