I recently sat down with someone who had spent the entire time talking to their crush trying desperately to find questions to ask them.
The problem wasn’t that they weren’t interested or couldn’t think of things to talk about. All of their questions were too short. Too basic. They could all be answered with either yes or no. Do you like pizza? What’s your favorite…?
The conversation felt stuck and every time there was a lull the silence piled up.
I noticed one simple change when they started asking longer and better questions. They didn’t have to be crazy or dramatic questions–just more open-ended, curious questions.
Questions that allowed them to be more human.
That is the beauty of good conversation. You don’t want your crush to simply give you answers, you want them to open up and tell you about themselves. How do you do that? You ask open-ended questions.
Questions that encourage storytelling. Questions that bring out their opinions, memories, emotions, and imagination.
Below are 40 long-tail questions you can start using with your crush to keep things flowing naturally.
