If you’ve ever wondered how you can crack the surface of someone to find out what’s going on inside of their heads, you’re not alone. Fortunately, getting to know someone over text can be a simple, pressure-free way to do it. With the right strategy and approach, you can find out what makes another person tick without having to talk to them face-to-face. To help you do it, we’ve put together a list of tips and ideas you can use to make it happen.
Things You Should Know
- Ask open-ended questions to encourage conversation, as "yes" and "no" answers can lead to dead-ends.
- Start with light-hearted topics to build rapport before approaching anything heavy or controversial.
- While asking great questions is important, try not to grill the person. Talk about other things, including yourself!
