You get to an age where meeting someone can get really complicated. Very much. Especially if you have already had previous relationships that have not finished settling and you persist in continuing with that of the “ground hogging”.
Tinder dates and casual encounters in a bar are piling up like in the old days, that practice that has become fashionable again (thank you generation Z for not having rescued from the past only the low rise pants). But the time has come to start getting to know each other and it may be more and more difficult for you to bring up topics of conversation. And that’s where we come in.
We are going to give you the master key to meet another person with these 101 interesting questions to get to know someone betterbe it a new friend, your partner or a Tinder date.
How to ask to get to know someone better
You can take it as a game, but the first thing you have to think about is that the key to asking questions is not to ask about their favorite color (which is also), but to ask questions focused on their values to find out how much you have in common. Starting with more superficial questions and then moving on to deeper questions is a good idea to warm up little by little, practicing the slow dating.
Asking simple, open-ended questions, and not asking something you wouldn’t even want to answer, is important. Make sure that the questions are not boring and avoid the most basic ones that your interlocutor has already been able to answer in a million previous meetings.
The best questions to meet someone
let’s start with questions to meet someone new to help us take a picture of who we have in front of us. Asking about their likes and dislikes is a way of digging into something personal without being intrusive. But we can also ask about their family and friends and their relationship with them, about more transcendental issues or about the personal history and personality of the person in front of us.
