Questions to Ask Your Girlfriend

The questions that work are the ones she hasn't been asked a hundred times. “What do you like to do?” is a dead end. “What's a smell that instantly takes you back somewhere?” usually isn't.

Everything below is grouped by mood: easy questions for early dates, deeper ones for a long night in, cute ones for text, and a group of honest questions about money, families and conflict that most couples put off too long. The last group is about you, and it's built to become a quiz.

Pick a mood, draw a question

Tap through at random. Take turns answering, you go first.

What's your go-to order at a place you've never been before?

A few things that make it work

Ask fewer questions and listen longer. If she's telling a story, the next question on the list can wait. Most of the good stuff comes out in the second and third minute of an answer, not the first.

Don't grade the answers. If she says her ideal weekend is nothing at all and you had a hiking trip planned, that's useful information, not a problem to solve tonight.

Remember what she says. The quickest way to show you were listening is to bring an answer up a week later: the restaurant she mentioned, the friend she misses, the trip on her list.

Questions worth skipping

Some questions are really statements. “Would you ever cheat?” asked out of nowhere sounds like suspicion, and “Is that what you're wearing?” isn't a question at all. Comparisons with exes, hers or yours, rarely go anywhere good either.

If there's something that's been bothering you, say that directly rather than fishing for it with a question. The honest talks group above is a better way in: “What does trust look like day to day for you?” opens the topic without accusing anyone.

If you want to compare how you each show affection, try the free love language test. For a broader look at where you match, there's the relationship compatibility test.

Frequently asked questions

What are good questions to ask your girlfriend?

Specific questions get better answers than broad ones. 'What's a smell that instantly takes you back somewhere?' leads to a story; 'What do you like?' leads to a shrug. Start with a couple of easy ones, then move to something deeper if the conversation is flowing.

What are deep questions to ask your girlfriend?

Try 'What part of yourself took the longest to like?', 'What do people usually get wrong about you at first?', or 'What does feeling at home mean to you?'. Ask when you have time and privacy, and listen without jumping in to fix things.

What are cute questions to ask your girlfriend?

'What's a song that makes you think of us?', 'What's your favorite photo of the two of us?' and 'What's something small I did that meant more than I realized?' are sweet without being cheesy, and they work over text too.

How do I make these questions into a quiz for my girlfriend?

Use the questions about you, the ones with one clear answer, like your takeout order or the movie you'll always rewatch. Write them as this-or-that or multiple choice questions on Couples Quizzes, answer them yourself, then send her the link and see how many she gets right.

What should I avoid asking my girlfriend?

Avoid questions that are really accusations in disguise, like 'Would you ever cheat?' asked out of nowhere, and anything comparing her to your exes. Questions about money, kids and families are worth asking, just not as rapid-fire interview questions on a third date.

How many questions should we go through in one night?

A handful. If a question turns into a 40-minute conversation, that's the best outcome, not a reason to speed up. Come back to the list another night.
