It’s a foolproof way to find out about their personality and prompt a lively discussion. [3]

    If you’ve known your crush for a while, feel free to ask about their family life to get to know them better. Just be sure you bring up the topic in a gentle and respectful way, and ask your questions with a positive twist. For example, instead of directly asking if they have a good relationship with their parents, you might ask, “Who are you closest to in your family?” [5]
    • How many siblings do you have?
    • Who’s your favorite family member?
    • Are you more like your mom or dad?
    • What makes you feel most at home?
    • Are you close to your extended family?
    • What are your favorite family traditions?
    • Did you grow up in a religious household?
    • What’s the coolest thing about your family?
    • How often do you hang out with your parents?
    • Do you consider your parents to be your friends?
    • What does your family like to do during vacations?
    • Who did you compare yourself to the most growing up?
    • Which family member do you turn to when you need help?

    If you want to remind your crush of the good old days (and connect with them on a deeper level), ask about their childhood to bring up feelings of nostalgia.

    When you’re in the mood for a “rabbit hole” discussion, ask your crush about human nature, happiness, ethics, death, and spirituality. Be sure to communicate you're coming from a nonjudgmental perspective, and be open to sharing your honest thoughts, too.
